Updated Sidekick Data Plans for LX and Slide
Word from BoyGeniusReport is that T-Mobile is going to be updating Sidekick Data plans to include Unlimited MMS for the LX and Slide, and remain at the same price.
Those of you who are buying their LX as their first Sidekick will automatically get this new plan, the rest of us will have to call T-Mobile and be switched over.

Well wat is mms?
October 16th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
mms is multimedia messaging system basicly u could text anything from videos to pics to sounds and still be under sidekick unlimited plan
October 16th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
YES! ;D
Too bad you have too pay extra for myspace mobile, apparently.
October 16th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
im really hoping thats not the case since its being advertised mostly for the LX. Im thinking its just going to be charged on any other SK and not the LX. Just a guess tho.
October 16th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
does anyone know if we will be able to upgrade tonight @ 12 AM EST? I dont recall if we were able to do that for the sk3, the night of I mean.
October 16th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Yes, you will be able to upgrade at midnight of the 17th either online or on the phone. I’m going to do it on the phone since it won’t let me upgrade online because I’m still under contract =/
October 16th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
hmm… last year I was under contract and I was able to do it online. Wonder if it changed for this year?
October 16th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
hey quick question to those upgrading
if you upgrade — it basically means your changing your contract right? you won’t get the physical phone til when?
is it really all that much better to upgrade tomorrow?
October 16th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
well last year… upgrading meant getting the phone within 2 days latest… I know some got it the next day.
October 16th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
ohh..hmmm definitely before 24th though?
October 16th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
okkayyy well i was a little too excited and called tmobile customer service and this is what i found out
if you already are a tmobile customer, you can get one physically in your hands tomorrow at a tmobile store.
or if you live in texas or in texas time zone –can get one at 11:01PM 10/16 since its coming out at Eastern 12:01 time. wooo
now the guy i talked to sure did sound pretty knowledgeable about it so maybe its true.
i asked him about the the limited cities and he’s like no, should be any tmobile place.
so thankfully ive been a loyal loyal tmobile customer for 2+ years and i will hopefully be getting that sexy blue one tomorrw!
if you can discredit me please do so bc i’d hate to be giving out this false information as ive heard that tmobile customer service reps were a little shaky
October 16th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
i hope this is true, if its not. it doesn’t matter. i could wait until the 24th.
October 16th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
I can’t wait. About 4 more hours before I can officially order my skLX! What color is everybody getting – I’m still indecisive !
October 16th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
blueee on the way for me
brown is just poopy…couldnt’ think of a better.worse description
sorry kiddies, i retried customer service and of course the guy was just yanking of chain. tonight at 1201AM, i guess everywhere not just eastern cause its 1110PM here in texas and i can’t get it online
you can get it online or wait til yoru friendly neighborhood store is open to barge in and !
change your plan. yup you can order it and get yourself all set up and start twindling your thumbs and stalking out the ups guys driving down your streets.
free shippign is what they’re trying to snag you in on, but its only on standard shipping, which can come up to 7 days. regular fees apply for express 3 day delivery.
so it all boils down to one thing
how bad do you want it?
October 16th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
so it’s true? ALL t-mobile stores will receive sklx’s tomorrow for people who already have sidekicks and want to upgrade?
October 17th, 2007 at 11:41 am

Chill out, only a few designated stores in larger metro areas had the phones on the 17th; e.g., there was only one in Atlanta. No matter, I ordered mine from Tmobile online on the 17th and received it on the 17th.
Back to the original topic, I see two Sidekick data plans on Tmobile; one if $20.00 and the other is $19.99, but the explanations for both are the same, and neither mention MMS specifically. I haven’t made a change to the plan yet, and the one selected (which is the one I was using with SK3) is the $20.00 plan. Tmobile can be a little sloppy with their website, they need to indicate which plan is which. I’m still not sure.
October 19th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Oops, haha, I ordered it on the 17th and received it on the 18th, still great but not same day delivery!
October 19th, 2007 at 11:01 am
OK, sorry for multiple posts, but further reading at boygeniusreport reveals that the $20.00 plan is the old plan, the $19.99 plan is the new plan for LX that includes MMS.
October 21st, 2007 at 12:52 pm
I was wondering if 19.99 is it really needed what if do not buy the plan will they still sell the phone.
