You could prob. get the voice part working on Cingular being as its GSM, but I highly doubt the data will work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The Danger Hiptop will not work on Next Tel nor will next tel sim cards get service in a gsm phone such as the Danger Hiptop 2.

so there is no other carrier in the US that the sidekick will work on except t-mobil??

Tmobile
Suncom
& a few others, but Suncom is North/South/ Carolina exclusive.

Sidekicks only work on T-Mobile. Hiptops are for the other carriers. 2 things... Nextel uses iDen 800 mhz. It wont work. If you use the sidekick on Cingular, it has to be unlocked and DATA will NOt work. Data is tied to the orignial carrier. No if's, but's, or or's.

the phone relies heavily on data connectivity for the catalogue, applications such as aim, and email. if you dont have data, the phne is esentially a paper weight, cus once it loses battery charge, all the info you entered gets "forgotten"
