ok i have a cingular 8525 rite now.. and i mostly want a fone to talk to friends on instant messengers like AIM on my fone and i think its much simplier on a sidekick3. I cant switch services but if i were to get a sidekick and unlock it would it be able to work with all the functions of a sidekick but with my cingular plan if i put my sim card in it? or is this kinda thing possible? basically...can i use a sidekick3 and will it be compatible with my cingular plan that works for my 8525?
I believe that the Sidekick can only access phone and SMS services through Cingular/AT&T's network. That means no web or the like.

I just buyed Touch Pro / Raphael from vodafone with or without branding, I am not sure, because I paid full price without provision and vodafone hotline told me that they do not have something blocked.
At the moment I need to use it with my t-mobile sim card until I could move with my number to vodafone.
I can do phone calls and also can receive emails from a pop3 account, after I received a sms from t-mobile with "correct" internet settings,
but I am not able to start eighter internet explorer or opera to get internet access. When I download my emails, it seems to be connected trough t-mobile roaming partner etisalat. Crazy.
When I use a prepaid vodafone sim card, opera will run, of course I changed back to vodafone settings.
My problem is that I need support, because I am on a business trip in dubai and need to have internet access with my phone, otherwise I need to ask someone in the lobby to use his connection.
Do I need something like supercid or what is the reason for that??
Many thanks for your support in advance!!

Is nobody able to answer this question, or is it too stupid?
I really need support, because it is very important for me to have internet access.
PLEASE HELP!!
dont really understand your problem...
but, you either have your device set to raoming or you are out side of tmobile coverage and it austomatically puts you onto the roaming carrier. this roaming carrier may be blocking data...
I also do not understand that issue. Roaming is working, also with data, because I tried to get access with a umts card from someone else.
Could this be a question branding and what is to do to recover it? Sometime ago you could do this yourselve (for my old wizard), but meanwhile it looks only like earning money, right?
Tomorrow I will leave and then I try at home again.
Hi. As the title says. I have just bought my dad a g1 from ebay, he has a tmobile payg sim card with no data plan, I have a g1 with a g1 data plan, if he uses my sim card to activate it will he still get the ability to take and make calls?
Thanks joe
As far as I know, he'll need to use data to activate it as he will need to sign on with his GMail account.
g1 without data plan
What do you meen by data, he will use my sim to aactivate and his gmail to sync data, and after that he will swap to his payg tmob sim card, so will he get phone call ability,
Thanks joe
yeah he would be able to activate it with your sim card. But once he puts in his sim card, the data charges may start to come up. I would say before you put in his sim card, delete the apn settings. that should kill any data from working so it is then just a phone. But the wifi can still work. or have his plan upgraded to a flexpay with the g1 service. You dont need a contract with that..
Yup that's gud, so deleat the apn's to stop tmob from charging and just use as normal g1 without 3g or grps or edge, ps how do I deleat apns
I am sure thats how it works. you can get "NetMeter" from the marketplace. that will tell you if there is anything accessing the data plan.
to remove apn go to
menu --> wireless controls --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names in there you will want to click on T-Mobile US - T-Mobile US 800 and remove the APN. Assuming you are in the US.
Thanks for quick reply, I'm in uk but I'm sure that will be the same but for tmob uk. Thank allot
If I was you I would post to get some feedback, it is a big post all about the APN settings. they should know more then me about it all.

i'm in UK now.
i've got my o2-iphone payg sim card
for it's unlimited data blot-on
and then i insert the sim card into my touch pro2 (T7373)
and after that i find that it can work well to access the internet
but it's still some problems in sending and recieving mms
Can anyone help me how to get settings for MMS ? thx a lot
lol i doubt you will get any help here for you iphone (you have entered the dark side ) because this site mainly deals with htc devices lol.....
Id have a word with your provided because from what i can gather from you post, you have problems no matter what device you put it in.
yes~i mean the settings of mms for my touch pro2 with a iphone sim card~. can you help me that?~thx
does ur tp2 not bring up connection wizard to auto do the settings?
Have u gone onto o2 site and searched for the manual settings? You can always get the settings from ur iphone settings section? It should give u the access point name etc
ye~i have tried the connection wizard,but it was no use.and o2's website doesn't support the details about that .and i find that the apn\username of an iphone sim card is quite different from other os'2 payg sim card,so i'm quite confused....
Simply put, I want to use video calling. And for this I need to use the Verizon Skype. But the Skype app wants a Verizon sim. Is there any way to trick skype into believing the sim is from verizon? (without changing anything to the real sim) ?
Try Market Enabler. In theory it should work.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Stupid question:
Now that I am under WiFi, I don't give a damn about what happens. But... when I'm on 3g, changing that ID will automatically put me in Roaming ? (My sim is from Orange Romania). And if I'm in Roaming, data access is cut, due to option to avoid costs... Which renders it unusable...
Whatever I do , that Skype doesn't want to read the phone number...
Gonna try Market Enabler. But not sure if it will unlock the apps in need.
And dont tell me to use the search box. If you know a better way to search be my guest and let me know. Maybe I dont know the terms used that will yield good search results.
It seems to me that every one abandoned the TP2 before ST = (StraightTalk) started the Bring Your Own Phone Program so this may have never been discussed yet.
So I got the voice, SMS and data working. But my phone is still trying to connect to sprints server to download the pictures people sent me via MMS. Where do I input the MMS settings ST gave me? The only setting I could find was for APN and when I updated that the data started working. The rest of the fields are not there with the APN.
I am using the AT&T sim from Strait Talk. I have the Sprint TP2 with my Straight Talk sim card in it. Set to GSM only. The worst part is EDGE speed is slower then Sprints 1X.
A nice guy help me fix this here at this link in post 2 and 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28468462#post28468462
