is rooting a cell phone the same as unlocking it?

[Alex123sb]

I bought a Samsung Gravity Smart android phone from T-Mobile a couple of months ago and I "rooted" the phone and deleted some first party apps that I did not want. So my question is that is by rooting the phone did I also unlock the phone? I do not if they are the same thing or if by rooting the phone did I also unlock it and able to use it on other gsm networks? Any help would be helpful thank you!

No ! Rooting is different from Unlocking process . Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Androidmobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's sub-system.

Unlocking :

Unlocking helps to use other GSM networks . If you want to unlock your Samsung Gravity, use unlock code . You can get it from any of the online vendors like Unlock-Zone.com to unlock it .
