I just purchased an unlocked Sidekick 3 and was wondering if anyone had the Cingular internet settings and aim settings so that I can use all features on the phone with Cingular. Thanks

nope u just wasted money a phone with no data. SK3 uses Danger server for data. pretty much all you have is a phone with a keyboard. you can only call and text and thats it.

nothing that cingular offers is anything near the sidekick

get a blackberry.

Wow that is nice sidekick with no data that is too bad but you always can do it through T-Mobile to have sidekick data plan for your handset..cuz it will work on any GSM/GPRS/EDGE providers anyway at no extra charges IF already has agreements in that certain provider and areas..

do yourself the favor and make good use of it, get the 29.99 a month data plan im sure you spend more money on chewing gum in a month than that.

Posted by: kgelster

You could sell it on eBay. You'll get $200+
PM me, I'll buy it.

so in order for the data plan to work you need to have a tmobile sim in the phone??? even if you bought the data plan from tmobile

Yes, of course.

Posted by: thatg

sucks, can anyone recommend a phone with cingular where i wont have to pay 40 a month for internet. ive got the k790 right now, its too tiney and call volume is horrible i jam the phone inside of my head to hear people sometimes

Posted by: AdmiralAK

Does t-mobile not work in your area?

Posted by: thatg

it does, unfortunately i just signed a contract with cingular because my friend mentioned they have great service and i had planned to get the iphone but it looks like theyre gonna charge an arm and a leg to use all its features. trying to figure out a way to make a sidekick work for me or something along those lines with cingular

Posted by: AdmiralAK

If you are within 30 days - you can still cancel without penalty so far as I know

Posted by: thatg

ye, im past 30, i had the blackjack for a while, wasnt too fond of that either

Posted by: reas0n555

you can just use cingular for voice and the sidekick for data... thats what im doing.. the data plan is 30 bucks a month ... still 10 bucks cheaper than cingular...

Posted by: thatg

not fun carying 2phones around all the time

Posted by: thatg

8525, awsome phone

Posted by: olouie99

Why would you change to cingulare to get the iphone before it comes out? You won't get the best deal if you are an existing customer.

Posted by: thatg

you can always just renew your contract

Exactly. And if you don't want to sign up for a monthly plan, just activate it on pre-pay. I believe it's $50 for the activation kit at a TMO retail store, but it comes with $30 of air time. It's $1/day for unlimited data and $0.15 a minute for voice.

I look @ it its pointless for it to be unlocked since u cant use all the features but who knows other wise its gonna be a paperweight

Posted by: Outrigger

if you don't want to carry 2 devices and don't want to sign on a sidekick plan with tmo, then what you have there is a very expense electronic address book, either sell it or compromise. these are your only two options.

Posted by: speedy0156

couldn't you stay with cingular for voice and just sign up the sidekick data with t-mo? it'd end up being the same price as having a t-mo contract and sidekick data since its always $30 anyway ... right?

Posted by: deviantmotoSE

It's basically the same thing. The downside is that you just have to carry 2 phones, which isn't that bad if you have one phone on a belt case/holster and the other one in your pocket).
