Unlocked it how, exactly?

Did you have it unlocked by the carrier it was locked to following this process: How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier - Apple Support

Or did you go about it some other way?

Okay I went to AT&T website requested an unlock code and then it sent me instructions I followed the instructions and took it to metropcs and that's when switching the carriers worked. I started calling and texting but when I went to get on safari it didn't work and said the iPhone was not connected to the Internet I get on WiFi and the Internet started up fine with no problems I don't know what's wrong.

OK, then the unlock is legitimate.

If you're using MetroPCS, you'll have to talk to them about it. They will have to give you the settings for data, if it will work at all. They are not a supported carrier.

They say they can do it so I tried it was my carrier. Now I can't use Internet at all unless I WiFi.

MetroPCS is NOT a supported carrier. If they told you it will work, then talk to them and find out how to make it work.
