The Sidekick Slide and Sidekick LX are different models : ). The Slide is already available from Telstra*. The price of the Slide should be $700+ from your local Telstra store. I'm not sure about the LX but if it's not released here, you could always order it off eBay and sign up with the Telstra hiptop/sidekick plan <3. * Visit here for more info ^^ : http://www.telstra.com.au/hiptop/gethiptop.html how much is a sidekick if i get a plan The plan is about $30 per month, plus about $30 for the handset (sidekick 3) this includes free sms, mms, instant messaging (Msn Messenger, Yahoo Messenger), and internet acsess. The downside is there are no voice calls included, its charged at approx 30c per minute i think. Plus if you want the new myspace mobile application it is an additional $5 to your monthly plan. So for a user like me it could cost upwards of $100 ($30+$30+$5+Additional Call Charges) Check out the telstra website for more details on the plans. The sidekick lx hasn't been released as yet, im sure in the next few months we will see it as production of the sidekick 3 has ceased. == == == == == ==
The cost of Telstra Mobile Everyday Connect Plan is broken down into four different pricing plans based on the features required by the costumer and what they are willing to pay.
hey well a hiptop can be from 500 to 600 dollars ,If you were to buy this phone it would be best to go on a telstra hiptop plan for $30 a month. It is a really good plan with unlimited mms, sms, web browsing, yahoo messenger, msn and more. But you would have to pay an additional $29 a month for the headset and phone. SO really it is $50 a month or you can get it on eBay for atleast $300 hope i helpedxx
if you have a plan, and you have T-Mobile you will have to call T-Mobile and tell them that your using a sidekick. It will be worse or maybe you will have to pay more if the bill comes because T-Mobile does not known that your using a sidekick.
No. You can use the sidekick for texting and phoning and elect not to have the sidekick package which costs an extra 20 per month. It's a cool phone and t-mobile has some pretty nice rates for phone and text only.
you have to get a sidekick plan.
For a two-year contract with T-mobile, the Sidekick 4G's prices start at $79.99 with a $50 mail-in rebate. The prices vary with packages and such that you chose from.
I would say Telstra is a sufficient form of mobile phone plan use. Not only affordable, but with great base rates, that allow for your daughters preference of either calls or text.
The disadvantages of the Sidekick 2 was unable to send or receive multimedia or picture messages. Also the phone was exclusive to t-mobile and would not work without a service plan from them.
just get the normal sidekick plan or the prepaid sidekick plan.
No, it should not matter. As long as you have a Sidekick phone and you want to use internet on it, then register the phone for a Sidekick Data plan.
If you want to use internet on your Sidekick 08 phone, you would Sidekick Data plan for that.
