Yes you can use the Sidekick with Cingular's network, it's a GSM phone and has the 850 & 1900 mHz band, just make sure it's unlocked...good luck.

what you need to do is buy the phone unlocked and use it on Cingular's network, T-Mobile will not give you a subsidized price since you will not be using it on T-Mo's network/plan.

No, the phone will not be unlocked. And if you are not planning on using it on the T-moble net, and you are not going to pay the monthly charges, it will be fraud.
What you do is go to E-bay and find one that is unlocked and buy it through them. You will probably choke at the price, but you will also see why the carriers require you to carry a contract for so long with the big discount on the price of the phone.

Oh and Fireball, no need to start a new thread for every sidekick question you have...last warning. Thanks.

so then i don't have to buy the unlocked one at e bay.com because someone told me that you can use it but it has to be unlocked so i would have to buy it at ebay.com the unlocked one?
and i just hear that i cant text our surf the web because i don't have t mobile and it would only work if i had t mobile
ill just stick with my razor lolLast edited by Brad729; 07-12-2006 at 03:33 AM. Reason: merged 3 posts (please use edit button!)

yea the sidekick even if it is unlocked will still only make voice calls using a cingular sim. you will not be able to do any text, pix messaging, email or internet at all since you are not using t-mobile. no it's definately not worth it for you. Switch to T-mobile and get the sk3 its sweeeeeeeeeeeeet
Got T-Mobile?

Right, the data features wont work with a Cingular SIM in a SK. That is because the data is sent through the Danger servers for Tmobile SK service.
