Can I use a sidekick if I have cingular?

Question

I am in love with the sidekicks and I really want to get one next june.

The only downside is that I have cingular and im not sure if i can use it with that.

What does it mean if I "unlock the phone" ? will it still be safe?

the only things i care about in a phone is setting the backround, texting, and calling

pleaseeee answer!!!

Answer 1

Unlocked means that the phone can be used on another compatible network. You will need the sidekick unlocked in order for it to work on AT&T.  You can buy one unlocked or unlock it yourself. I always recommend buying it unlocked to avoid the hassle of trying to unlock it yourself.  Only texting and calling features will work on it. Nothing else will work.
