Has anyone bought a sidekick 2/3 on ebay or second hand?

Question

And then got it activated through T-mobile to go?

I bought one off ebay, and i want to activate it with the prepaid plan, but when i call, they say i need a prepaid activation code. Is it possible to buy one of the cheaper t-mobile phones and use the code from that, or do i have to purchase a "special" code for the sidekick through t-mobile?

Answer 1

You will need a prepaid starter kit which comes with a SIM card and an activation code. Alternatively, you could get one of the $20 cheap T-Mo to go phones and use the SIM and activation code from that and you'll have a spare phone to boot. That's probably your best option.
