and i dont wanna switch to t-mobile is there any way i can keep the phone and stay with sprint?
Answers:
You should have done your research BEFORE you bought it. You can%26#39;t use a Sidekick with Sprint or ANY other CDMA carrier. Sprint%26#39;s phones and network are CDMA, which doesn%26#39;t use sim cards. The Sidekick is a GSM phone, which requires a sim card in order to work. They are two completely different technologies and are not compatible with each other. If you want to use the Sidekick, you%26#39;ll have to switch to T-Mobile as it is only for T-Mobile. One person mentioned Cingular, but the problem with that is you would have to get it unlocked, and that is very hard to do. T-Mobile can%26#39;t even get an unlock code for the Sidekicks. Even IF you managed to get it unlocked, it is pointless to use it with a different GSM carrier since the data servers the Sidekicks use are only accessible through T-Mobile. If you have your old phone chip, try sticking it into your sidekick 3.
I do that with almost anyphone i find. t-mobile is good just switch u cant because cdma phones (which is sprint and verizon) dont use sim cards while gsm phones (cingular and t-mobile), so u cant use it with sprint no matter how hard u tried its impossible because they use different technologies. u can either activate the sidekick with t-mobile or cingular but remember the early termination fee with sprint is $200 per line. hope that helped!!
