Root [MetroPCS] Using Metropcs model on tmobile for tethering?

[Potatohead]

Hi all, not even sure which section this should be asked it. Kind of a hybrid question lol

I have tmobile but my data plan does not have the hotspot tethering add on. Does anyone know if I get the metropcs and unlock it, I can use the wifi hotspot for my pc out of the box normally without hacking/rooting?

thanks for any help

If the phone has a hotspot app, you can connect to the phone. Whether you can then connect to the internet depends on T-Mobile, not on the phone. Some carriers "block tethering" by disabling the function in the phone, others do it by not allowing the connection at their gateway.
