Q. If I insert my AT&T sim card into the Samsung galaxy, will i be able to make calls, send texts, etc from my number? My phone is broken and I really want a tablet, so i figured this would be a good compromise.
A. No the samsung Galaxy Tab is not a cell phone. You can't make and receive calls on this device. However thare are apps that will make the device receive and make calls such as Google Voice, Textfree that will give you a phone number so you can use this tablet to make calls.
From what I notice the Samsung Galaxy Tab is only available for Verizon and Sprint. Both Verizon and Sprint use CDMA network and does not use any sim card. So on the Galaxy Tab, it does not have a sim card holder inside. So with A T&T you need GSM network and a sim card. So The Samsung Galaxy Tab will not be work with your sim card.

Can a unlocked Tmobile samsung galaxy s2 enables tethering & hotspot?
Q. Can a unlocked Tmobile samsung galaxy s2 enables tethering & hotspot without any extra charges?
Because I know that tmobile restricts tethering & hotspot unless you add the plan.
Or is it only capable through rooting the phone?

--------only if its rooted too... rooting bypasses the Tmobile's and Samsung's lock on the Wired and Wireless hotspot Tethering. The only thing "unlocking" does is free up the GSM so any SIM card can work in the phone. "Unlocking" has nothing to do with hardware/software locks.

How would I use a Samsung Galaxy S3 with a prepaid phone plan?
Q. I'm thinking about changing my phone plan from a contact plan to a prepaid plan, but i'm not sure if i'll be able to use my new samsung galaxy s3 with the plan I want to switch to. I think if I unlocked the phone(don't know how) then I should be able to use it some how, but I don't know how to do this
A. If you are on the same network, you can do it without unlocking
If you want to change networks, you can goto http://globalunlock.com/phones/ and unlock your phone and then change it over to a pre paid on any other GSM network.
