Sidekick 3 for AT&T?! PLEASEE HELP!

I just bought a Sidekick 3 online. The description says the phone will work for phone and text (not internet) with AT&T but I keep getting a screen that says my phone is waiting to be activated and that it will take up to 48 hours. It's been 48 hours and the screen won't go away. I can't do anything except place emergency calls while that screen is up.. I called AT&T and they don't know how to help me. How can I get that screen to go away!?

Press "menu" (the key with the 3 lines) and "L" - this will bypass the activation screen. You will need to do this every time you turn the phone on, though.

I just bought a sidekick 3 from ebay. when first turning my sidekick on there is a message saying the sim card is waiting for activation or something or another. i receive and send text with no problems...

To be able to send pictures and what not with the sidekick 3 you need to have the sidekick data plan. That is part of the error message you are getting when first turning it on.Without it, all you can do is text and phone

Sidekick 3 question

Your phone needs to be unlocked to use the text option. The code it is asking for is the unlock code.

All of the main sidekick features like internet, aim and email won't be available if unlocked and used on a carrier other than t-mobile.

text and calling will once unlocked though.
