I just got my sidekick lx 2009, I bought it off the description: Brand New Sidekick LX 2009 SHARP PV300GR Unlocked - T-Mobile (Carbon Black). This phone does not have internet capabilities. Specifying, it says PV300GR, and so the box says it, but when I open the phone to place the battery, it says model: pv300. Does this means it was all a scam? Is it really pv300, or is there another to tell if it's pv300gr? Please someone help, I'm desperately trying to figure this out, due to the fact that I'm trying to get internet with at&t; sim card.

I'm not sure about that because I'm Tmobile's customer with data plan but my sim card won't work in that phone. You can still send and receive pic messages. The other thing that doesn't work is activating the bluetooth with another phone to transfer files like music. I've tried and can paired phones but never connects even though it gives a code number to make it possible. Remember that this is a Tmobile phone model that can work with others phone companies if is unblocked but I can't tell if Internet works on it.

If you get the Sharp PV300GR, you'll be golden. Just make sure you get the settings for AT&T;'s APN and MMS.

I'm not sure if you'll have Internet access with your company on this phone that is a Tmoble phone model. I'm a TMobile customer with data plan but my sim card won't work in that phone. You can send pic messages and receive them too. Another thing that won't work either is the bluetooth. I have tried to connect my phone with this phone and the get paired but never connect even though gives you a code number to gain access. So, keep in mind that this phone is a from Tmobile and maybe some features wont work at all no matter the company you are with. That's my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. You will have to contact Tmobile or ATT to verify this information. So sorry I can't help you.

I was able to get a phone plan from AT&T; with no data plan. But that was many years ago. I don't know what the carriers would demand now. Good luck! Dave H.

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

I just spent 6 hours talking to AT&T...; This phone does NOT work with AT&T.; Do not buy an unlocked version, unless all you're wanting to do is use it as a phone. The mobile data will NOT work on AT&T; from an unlocked phone like this.

I'm in AT&T. I've had this phone about 6 weeks. No data plan & no charges on my billing - but you can only access internet based functions when in a wifi zone. That's just fine with me.

It didn't work well, until I took it to AT&T; and got a sim card. It is a phone as well as a tablet. You can go on internet with it or use WIFI. I had to convince them it was a phone too They tried to set it up as a tablet and it didn't work. . Finally, one guy knew it was a phone and he set it upas a phone and it works fine. I have the go phone program which is without contract.

Hello James, I know that with At&t; your hot spot will act like it's own device. Adding your hot spot to your account would be a lot like adding a tablet to your data plan You might be able to put your sim card from your phone into the hot spot, but I'm not 100% sure. I hope this helps. Thanks, Andrew

After you activate the sim card online or by calling an att rep.. They will assign your sim a number.. Works perfectly!!

This is exactly what I have been wondering, do you not receive data charges because it's an unlocked phone? My sister was given an iPhone as a gift and didn't use any data, she only ever went online when she was connected to wifi, and a data charge was added to the bill because it was a smartphone. Because this is an unlocked phone, will AT&T; just... not know? I don't know much about unlocked phones :(

I am not sure about AT&T Postpaid plan. I do have an AT&T Family plan which includes phone and texting but no picture transmission and absolutely no data plan. This phone works great on it. If you check my review, you will see this is a replacement phone for one that I lost which was exactly like it. The first phone I bought through our local AT&T store when we were renewing our family contract. They actually suggested this phone, knowing that all I wanted to do was text and make "old-fashioned" phone calls with no data plan. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Does your phone service "allow" pictures to be sent or received? This happens to some of my friends that don't have "picture" service. My phone works just fine for pics and downloads.

Anybody having trouble using 3G data with AT&T? My 5800 is showing excellent 3.5G signal but when I try using data it just gives me an error message. It works fine if I keep the phone in GSM-mode though... EDIT: An extremely stupid design choice in AT&T's SIM card structure. Even though I had a 3G capable sim card, it wasn't 3G-enabled so couldn't use the data (but oddly enough could use the bandwidth to talk to people. If anyone else has this problem, just go talk to someone at AT&T.

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.

As others have said, it should work on your phone. You may still have to call AT&T; though as the phone I had installed it in would call fine but you couldn't send or receive any texts. I called AT&T; help and found that the phone must still be connected to the new card as far as AT&T; is concerned, so I had thought just put a card in and go but that doesn't necessarily mean you can do that! But size wise it should work fine!

We have AT&T; service and I just placed the Sim card from my husbands old phone into the Just5 phone. No problems what so ever!

I've had this phone for quite a while and have not had problems with an att sim card or one card that I use when I go to Europe. It may be a t-mobile issue. With one of our other unlocked phones (an ATZ) we had to buy a special sim card from net zero for it to work. I hope this helps. This has been a great phone for me. I like it better than the 'smart' phone I have in terms of battery life and voice clarity.

Hey Tony, ATT has data plans for all smartphones. However I bought this phone to send it overseas.
