Plse neone im Desperate for ure Help !!!

I don't think anyone can give you an unlock code. You have to have the manufacture or a GSM provider, ie T-Mobile unlock it for you. However they may be resistant to doing that, since it's not in their interest.

However, have no fear, do a search on eBay for unlocking cell phones, or on google.com, and you'll find plenty of services that will do it for a fee.

The downside to that is there is no guarantee or warranty that your phone will work after the unlocking process.

Thx a lot UalonekPlus

Your sidekick won't work in Canada anyway, all it will be is a phone. ALL the settings (SMSC, GPRS etc...) are locked and programmed into the phone and the email, web and AIM service ALL need T-mobiles SPECIAL GPRS service that only works on THEIR network or on their sim roaming GPRS on another network. Without these services the sidekick is pretty worthless.

Please also note the replies given on the Hiptop forum to your question, there seems to be a way to unlock it through T-mobile:

Sidekick data services ARE available in Canada. I've used it in Toronto and Montreal.

Though you should note that the device itself uses Danger, Inc.´s servers and is useless without them. They won´t allow logon from a non-TMobile AP. So even if you get it unlocked you won´t be able to use it with a Fido/Rogers account.

That would be on T-mobiles GPRS roaming, a very expensive thing to do and sadly not part of the Sidekicks unlimited GPRS package. Yes, the sidekick will work anywhere on a GSM1900 network with T-mobile GPRS roaming. If he could roam on T-mobile he wouldn't need his sim unlocked.
