How to unlock the sidekick 3 :
- when you turn on the sk3 with your sim card in it
something will pop up that asks for the sim code .
PRESS CANCEL .
- next press the MENU button go to SETTINGS and scroll down
to SIM CENTER .
- once your there youll see something that either says 'UNLOCK SIM CARD/ENABLE SIM LOCK'
or DISABLE SIM LOCK / CHANGE SIM PIN
IF you have to press unlock sim card & type in something like 1111 .
then it should change to the two options on disable sim lock or change
sim pin.
CLICK change sim pin .
then type in 1111 in the OLD SIM CODE
and type in a FOUR DIGIT LOCK tht youll memorize .
your gonna have to type it twice .

Then after that you get out of the settings and menu and at the top right
hand corner youll see a outline of a phone .

GO BACK TO MENU , click NETWORK OPTIONS .
go down to were it says "rescan or select manually"
and click it . Itll start searching for a networl & after
awhile it should say AT&T (if you have att&t) and
click DONE .


Once you unlock the phone you cannot use
email, internet, picture messaging .

To permanently unlock, go to www.cellunlocker.net
They are the main source for all sidekick unlock codes plus fast blackerry unlocking, etc. Unlocking via code, you will not need to repeat the process everytime you turn off and on your phone. Also the phone will work with other networks rather than T-mobile

  • baskeeballa5 Oct 02, 2010

    will this allow you to use internet, picture messaging, calling and texting? or just a few like calling and texting?

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.

I know this thread was from a longgg time ago,
but if the phone is unlocked, the texting should work right?
I read somewhere that the texting is apart of the data... and it wouldnt work.
could I just please get some verification on this?
Thanks.
ps. i dont care about the internet.

just want the texting and calls.
I AM LINKED WITH ROGERS WIRELESS...
and i know they can work, cause i talked to my local retailer, and he has done it.
so dont tell me otherwise.
I just need to know about the texting.

Pardon, probably it was already discussed, but may I ask? Well, I live in Russia and I bought sidekick in USA without any sim or code or etc. Then I came to Russia and I need some code tot turn it on. I want to use it with russian sim. Is it possible and where can I get this code?

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.

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

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

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

SOURCE: sidekick 3 unlock code or how to unlock

Hello, I just posted a reply to a similar post so I will copy and paste it here:

"Hello,
if you do a web search you will find several similar requests, including one here at fixya: http://www.fixya.com/support/t266497-sidekick_3_unlock_code_or_unlock

Summing the info up, you will most likely need to pay someone a small fee to unlock it for you. I would suggest ebay if you decide to go this route.
KEEP IN MIND, however, that data will only work on T-mobile (the danger APN's are set up that way). You will only be able to use voice and text on any other carrier. This is worse than you think, as the sidekick stores all of it's information remotely. Therefore, with an unlocked sidekick, anytime the phone is turned off it will loose all of it's information, such as its address book."

I'm not sure how to change the language, I'd suggest you look at a manual.
Good luck and Happy St.Valentine's Day!

HOW CAN I UNLOCK MY SIDEKICK 2008 FOR FREE

yes, tmobile does unlock the sidekick 2008 for FREE!!. i promise you this works, i just did this today, the agent told me that they dont usually advertise it.
So here are the steps.
1.call tmobile but dont ask the first representative to unlock it.
2.ask him or her to transfer you too customer care.
3.then ask the customer care agent for the SIM SUB SIBY unlock code.
4. he or she will ask you for the IMEI number, if you dont know that number, just dial *#06# or you can find it on the back of your phone under the battery. IMEI number is a 15 digit code.
this will let you use your sidekick 08 in another country.

I need a special unlock code

More information please :)

Could be the PUK (Pin UnlocK code) which your provider will have. Could be a handset restriction code ie, if you are putting another carriers sim in a phone that is 'locked' to a specific carrier. Again, provider will help you with this on;

OR, could be anything, we really need more info, what screen, what is it asking, what are the surrounding circumstances.
