Yup, of course unless you get a great deal on a new one, or buy used.

Sure just pick your prepaid plan and you are all set, up to the number talk mins you can afford. Can't afford many, then you don't talk many. See simple.

Er...Um...uh... When you run out of mins, it's like the power being cut off because someone forgot to pay the bill, the TV goes off, no more watchie watchie.

Think of prepaid phone plans like Pizza by the slice. You want 10 pieces of pizza, but only have enough money to buy 4 pieces of pizza, you stop eating pizza at 4 pieces. So with the phone, if you only have enough money to talk for 60 minutes... you talk for 60 mins and get cut off as soon as you try to talk 61 minutes.

The nice thing is you can buy more prepaid mins over the phone (no it has to be one you can talk on AFTER you run out of talk time silly), over the internet, and hell in many grocery stores and discount stores like Target and WalMart, warehouse stores like Sam's Club and Costo, Malls and even some 7-11's.

Could you use add a data plan on your Cingular account? Then get a SK once the contract is up.

Cingular doesn't have any support for Sidekick to run their GPRS network, eventhough they run GPRS service just like T-Mobile...... Sidekick is from T-Mobile therefore T-Mobile has the feature to support Sidekick however Sidekick do work on any GPRS network through out in US..... Its just becuz company has the feature to support Sidekick means either you wait til contract is up and change different carrier with T-Mobile to have or use Sidekick on any networks. T-Mobile To Go will work and probably even better than having contract but buy the card. Yes its only 1.00 per day unlimited data usage plus priceware from Download Fun, and Voice usage is 0.15 cents per minute.

The SK voice works through tmobiles network. The SK data goes through the servers at Danger, that is only allowed through tmobile. What I meant was to add a data plan to the cingular account tp be used on a cingular phone. Then once the contract is up then get a SK plan to replace cingular altogether. That way your not paying two different bills.

T-Mobile is nationwide provider, as for post pay (contract) customer they are allow to roam through out in the US and for T-Mobile To Go (prepaid) customer they're only allow to roam within three coverages area is T-Mobile, Cingular and Edge Wireless.
