Question

[Bob Cat]

So just wondering is a rooted phone an unlocked phone meaning it could be used on any network?

No, bobcat. Rooting your device gives you access to areas not available stock, but it remains locked until you unlock it via access code.

Root procedures are slightly different from device to device.

I made myself laugh there, bobcat.. my "..areas not available in stock.." could be taken as geographical areas by new users reading here.

I of course mean, "areas of the device itself, the sytem, etc, when rooted."
