Unlocking a sidekick 2
Hi, I want to get a sidekick 2, but I have cingular. So is there anyway to unlock a sidekick 2 so i can use it with a different carrier?

Hope you ain't getting this too late, but word on the street is YES. After unlocking it you can use it with any other company that utilizes a SIM card (to my knowledge), i.e. T-Mobile, AT&T / Cingular
If you hope on e-bay some pepople actually sell what you need to unlock it, whether they work or if they're legit i don't know.
There's probably some local store that could do it for you for about $20-$35. Holla at one of your local retailers whether its a direct store or an indirect dealer. Your chances are probably higher with an indirect dealer or accesory stand.

By unlocking the phone, would it still work as a nationwide phone?

Don't waste your time unlocking this phone to use for Cingular. Two main reasons, in a lot of areas Cingular uses GSM 850 and this phone does not support it, so you won't be able to use the phone. Also, the main reason to get this phone is the internet options, which will not work with Cingular even if unlocked.
