Ok, so its still waiting for activation... i have had it since christmas day...

I have been able to get onto the actual jump screen, add contacts, send/recieve texts and calls... but i cant access the catalogue/internet/send e-mails because ts not activated...

While on the screen ''waiting for activation'' i clicked ''Emergency call'' and from there i clicked the volume buttons then the Jump Screen Button, and wabbam there's the normal screen...

I switch it off and on again for a few hours to see if it will activate then....

So far, no luck.. any ideas?

so... you can call people and send texts, but not get online? That means your phone has been activated. What you're wanting are the internet settings.

Go to T-mo's website. They're one of the nicer ones to provide download of the internet settings for each phone from their website. I don't remember where it is, but I've put friends into cingular phones on their t-mo service by using their settings and their own SIM.

If you don't have t-mo and are just posting this here because it's a sidekick, you'll have to get the internet settings from your service provider.

The only people I know who get the waiting for activation message are people who do not have the SK feature on their plan. It's $20 extra dollars per month. Did you add it? Just buying a SK isn't enough to get the internet access.

You have to go onto the website or call Customer Service and request the Sidekick Package. Its $20 extra and includes unlimited txt msgs, unlimited use of internet and email.
