Does anyone know where I can just get a Sidekick II without service, I wanna take it up there myself and find me the perfect plan for me..........anyways I need to get a Sidekick II w/o service cause I want a good deal on one and go up to the T-Mobile and activate it can I activate a phone with no service cause Im currently with sprint and they do that???? So if anyone knows where I can get a brand new Sidekick II for cheap it'd be great, Thanks

 

meh good luck

 

im guessing u want to do it month to month, which I know Sprint does for $10 extra and I dont think T-Mobile does it, you gotta get a 1 year contract, but if u do figure out how to get it month to month, I can get u a brand new sidekick, but there gonna be a pretty penny

 

can you even do that with teh sidekick? afaik, t-mobile only offers one sidekick plan. i know i have a special t-mobile sidekick plan and without that i can't use it for email, internet, etc. i think you can get a normal t-mobile plan, but then you can only use it as a phone.

 

On any rate plan, I believe you still have to sign a 1 year contract.
