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?

A. Can a unlocked Tmobile samsung galaxy s2 enables tethering & hotspot without any extra charges?
--------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.

------- so does all carriers on planet Earth

Or is it only capable through rooting the phone?
------ yep... see answer #1

Original Question

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.

Original Question

If I buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II, would I be able to flash it to MetroPCS?
Q. I'd like to buy an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S II, and I would like to know if I could put it on MetroPCS or SimpleMobile. Thanks!
Yeah, I just realized that there were two versions of the Epic. I thought it was just gonna be one phone that can do both CDMA and GSM, but thanks for the answers guys!

A. Metro uses CDMA so an unlocked Galaxy S2 would do you no good because it is a GSM device.

The Sprint Galaxy S2 (CDMA) does not have a SIM card so it cannot be unlocked but it may be possible to have it flashed for use on Metro.
