What can I do with my unlocked phone? If I put a second sim card in my phone could I use it on my phone without paying for use of it? Could he get free 4g from T-Mobile? What could I do?

No, unlocking just allows you to use your phone with any GSM phone company... you still have to pay that company for service.
For example, it allows you to use this T-Mobile phone on AT&T... but you still have to pay AT&T for service.

Yes, if you can find a unlocked Galaxy S3 and if you can cut your SIM to the right dimensions.

I can unlock mine, I need to know if anyone knows if the procedure online is safe enough that people have already done it.

You can unlock it and use.att sim. Get a micro sim.cutter.

if you bought it outright, call tmobile and they will send you the unlock instructions. no questions asked. done. then you will have to get a microsim cutter and you're golden.
Is there a free way to unlock my s3 to use it with my t-mobile sim card?

Yes its free.
If you are a 3 month(90 Days) old customer, then call them and they will unlock it for free.
this applies for all phones except IPHONE

not entirely true. i was a 14 day customer when AT&T gave me my unlock code.
but then i've read stories of people being AT&T customers for years, and they were refused an unlock code for their S3.
just try your luck. if you don't want to call, there's always online chat too. this is what i did.
The problem is i am a tmobile customer.

how did you get the phone in the first place?
did you buy it from someone? if you bought it from someone, the previous owner would had to have unlocked it (i think).
did you win it? AT&T should be able to unlock it if you can prove you won it through a contest.
otherwise, you'd have to pay through a third party company to unlock it. google for websites that will unlock it for you.
Tell them you're going out of the country temporarily and that you want to use a sim card there. Maybe they'll do it.

Hi. I have the unlock code for my note 2. However, in the instructions, it says to insert a non t-mobile simcard. Is it possible to unlock the note 2 without changing sim cards? LIke bringing up a menu to enter the unlock code or something?
Thanks
Don't think so.

thanks. ended up getting an at&t prepaid sim.
My parents are going to England. We live in the US. I used the cyanogen/xda method to root.
Is it already carrier unlocked? I only have Tmobile sim cards, unfortunately, the new sim will come from England. So I'd like some verification that it's unlocked before they take it on a trip.
How would I unlock it if it's not? I'm running a recent andromadus rom

I think I used gfree, which seems to unlock it, I'm going to try to get a sim from something non-Tmobile.
Open to suggestions about how to test unlock
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
To check if your phone is sim unlocked you can run the gfree check through adb, or you could borrow a friends sim card from another carrier.
