My niece sent it to me from America. She just bought a Nexus 1.

When I put the 2Degrees SIM in I got this message

type in oyur PIN to enable network services

All I need the phoen for is Texting and the odd phone call.. How to I unlock the SIM on the SideKick?

Thank you

The phone is locked. You need it unlocked. Even so it will only work for voice and SMS.

I got it going.

Go to

Setting

Sim Center

Change SIM PIN

Type 1111 (this woroked in my case but may have been 1234)

Type your new SIM PIN in

Worked for me. It OK for Phone and Text Message (SMS)

The peoson who gave me the SideKick bought a Nexus 1.. That what I really want
