OmG! SIDEKICK 3!?

OK so I have a T-mobile to go (prepaid) Razr V3. I want to upgrade to the sidekick 3(It%26#39;s awesome!) but I don%26#39;t really know about the monthly plan and all that. So is there a way to get a sidekick and keep my monthly plan at about $45 or even as low as you can with the sidekick data plan and SOME minutes(I do NOT need 1000). Remember if there is a way then I%26#39;ll take it, BE CHEAP, as long as its under $45 a month i get the sidekick :). And is there a way i can transfer my phone number to the sidekick. (I think i still have a few minutes on my razr if anybody knows what will happen to them or if they can me saved)

Also could someone explain the prepaid sidekick pricing the guy at the store said it was a dollar a day? ( I%26#39;m thinking about that too.

Answer:

Okay, let%26#39;s break it down.

If you wanted to go to a monthly plan, you easily could with the Sidekick 3. If you got the lowest number of minutes (In my area, it is 300 minutes with unlimited WEEKENDS), you could get it for $50 without tax. This would include the Sidekick Unlimited service, which is $20/extra a month. So really, you are looking at about $60/month with tax, MAYBE. I%26#39;m not quite sure, because that isn%26#39;t what I do. Also remember, there is an activation fee, and depending on how long you sign the contract for can affect the price of the phone.

If you want a prepaid Sidekick, it would take a lot of money to do so. You would need $399 (without tax) for the phone itself. Every day, regardless of whether you use it or not, T-Mobile will deduct $1 a day for the Sidekick Unlimited service, plus charge you 15￠ a minute for calls. So as a monthly thing, putting $45 dollars on a prepaid account every month would give you 30-31 days of Sidekick usage AVERAGED, and 90-100 minutes per month in calling. In February, it would be around 28 days of sidekick usage (obviously) and about 113 minute to be used for calls. Also, remember that having a prepaid account gives you an emulated "Rollover" idea - if you don%26#39;t use all of your minutes, you have more for next month!
