you actually need to buy an unlock code. u can find this on ebay. it cost anywhere from $50-$100. the ones that our listed for cheaper wont work. each sidekick has a specific unlock code for the phone. if you keep on trying to enter unlock codes, it will permanantly be locked to tmobile. so be careful. hope this answers ur question

Hi everyone.

I have a sidekick 3 and I have unlocked it. Go to wirelessunlocking.com and they'll do it for a small fee of $7.99. It really works.

You will need a PayPal account.

There are some people and ebay sellers out there who will offer to unlock your phone for a price, but really be careful of those because I haven't heard of one that was verified yet to be legit. 

furthermore, even if you COULD unlock it, the only features that would be usable on any other network would be the phone itself (voice) and text messaging. 

The data side is tied into the carrier the phone was created for so it wouldn't do you any good, you wouldn't be able to browse, download games, email or anything other than phone and text messaging.

i think you need to a 4 digit code from t-mobile to unlock the sidekick lx or o8
if they don't you need to pay an extra 100$ to them
i asked them in swgras mills

Why such a difference in price for unlock code?

The first, the $5 or $10 unlock is a privacy code, it will work, once, however there are issues with it and it does not permenantly unlock your phone.

The second, is a simple code you enter in your phone, it will be unlocked forever, downside, it can take 1-2 weeks to get the unlock code, but you will be happier that you have done it right. I have unlocked a couple hundred Sidekicks, many customers try the first way to save money, then do it the second way. Goto - SIDEKICK UNLOCK CODE

I Have a process code for the sidekick 2, and 3, go to ebay, and look me up under the name "topsspot" . Other people sell the access for $70, I sell it for $15. Worth looking if you want your phone unlocked, see ya soon
