will rooting my phone allow me to use it on another network?

WELCOME to the forums!

Unlocking and rooting the phone does give you access to the device's root system files; but that's all it does.

It seems to me that whatever provider you choose will have to reflash the phone with their Optimus S stock image, which will replace the radio firmware and programming to their network.

But there are limitations: A CDMA phone like Sprint (I believe) can only go on another CDMA network (like Verizon) and not a GSM network (like T-Mobile, AT&T and the rest of the world). This is due to the frequency range of the radio hardware... you couldn't flash a GSM phone to a CDMA network any more than you can expect to pick up FM radio on your TV set. They're completely separate frequency bands in the spectrum.

I hope this helps
