If my phone company is AT&T can I still get a ENVY 1, but still keep the same carrier??

Question

I want to get the ENVY but my dad wont let me change providers. If not the Envy will i be able to get the sidekick??

Answer 1

Th EnV will not work with AT&T, as it's using Verizon's technology. Square peg in round hole, so that's impossible.

The sidekick is possible, but tricky. It's a T-mobile Exclusive, so AT&T will not offer it. You will have to look for an "Unlocked Sidekick" on eBay. Then all you have to do is swap the SIMs and you're good to go; HOWEVER, and it's a big one. T-mobile has a special service for sidekick phones that costs around $20/mo for the unlimited use of IM, text, web, all that that it comes with. AT&T doesn't offer that, so your dad will wind up paying through the nose for you to have it, so i don't think it's a good idea either.

There are plenty of neat phones with QWERTY keyboards on AT&T, what i'd reccomend you do is search the AT&T site, and find one that you might like, and then search for it on ebay (if you can't renew the contract just yet).
