I used to have a sidekick slide without a data plan and it worked fine. I dont really care for internet on my phone and i know my mom wont pay for it. I already ordered a brand new sidekick 2008 off ebay and its gonna be here tmrw probably. So will it work? im confused cuz ive read that it wont ring when u get texxts and it wont save ur phone book contacts. Oh also what is the current price to get email and internet plan for sidekick? i looked on t-mobile but it doesnt show the prices. thanks
