T-Mobile Myfaves + Internet + Messaging works on an unlocked Cingular phone? I am a Tmobile customer with a myfaves plan and at work we just got in a bunch of unlocked Palm Treos and after doing some research I see that even though it's a Cingular phone and is therefore not a myfaves phone that my myfaves plan should work as long as my 5 are confirmed online. My only other question is am I going to have some crazy fees associated with internet browsing/email/messaging on this thing or will T-Mobile still recognize my plan? I have the unlimited messaging and internet browsing so I don't get charged per message or KB...this is an unlocked phone and works fine with my sim so there shouldn't be any problems, should there?

Can you use an unlocked Sidekick 3 with Cingular? Well, basicall my phone got washed in the washing machine and doesnt work. I would get a new phone but you have to pay like $118 to get it.Some1 suggested we could buy an unlocked phone from somewhere like ebay and just get another SIM card from Cingular. My dream phone is the Sidekick 3 and I was wondering if I would be able to use it with Cingular while its unlocked. I would love it if I could use the internet but probably not. I just want to know if the phone itself and the basic stuff like calls and text messaging would work.

Unsing an unlocked phone with Cingular? I have a Cingular SIM card that I currently use with my phone. However, my question is, if I were to buy an unlocked phone (from eBay, etc.) what kind of phone would it have to be for me to be able to put my Cingular SIM card in and continue using Cingular as my Service Provider (Verizon, TMobile, etc.)? For example: If I bought an unlocked Sidekick 3 (Tmobile) or Chocolate (Verizon), could I take my Cingular SIM card out of my phone, pop it into the new phone and use the phone (SK3 or Chocolate) as if it were a Cingular phone?? Thank You Yea but what carries phones can be used w/ my SIM card?? (Verizon, TMobile, etc.)
A friend gave me their Cingular Blackberry 8800. I have T-Mo. Where can I get it unlocked? Do I call T-Mo? I think I have to unlock the Cingular phone with my IMEI to bring it over to T-Mobile. Where can I go or call to get the phone unlocked? I rather learn how to unlock my phones than to go out and pay somebody to do it. Hopefully paying somebody is not the only way. After I get the phone unlocked I will need to add the Blackberry Internet Plan. Will I be able to call T-Mobile to add the plan, or will they not like that I have a cingular phone. Will they even care? Thanks, NOVICE Man

How to download ringtones for unlocked T-Mobile phone on Cingular Network? Hi, I just bought my daughter a used Motorola Razr off Ebay that was originally T-mobile and then unlocked. We have cingular/at&t. It seems to be working fine but she cannot download ringtones. I assume its trying to access T-mobile's ringtone store. I guess it cant get on the internet. Can we fix this? Can you just download ringtones as text messages without needing to connect to the internet? Can it be reprogrammed to connect to Cingular? Thanks for any help! Karen
