T-Mobile: we probably lost all your Sidekick data - Page 4

SouthFella · 10-21-2009, 10:39 AM

Geesh nothing will make some of you " gimmie gimmie deafies " happy. Tmobile is already givien a months credit plus a 100 dollar gift card that can be use to buy Tmobile products or pay the Tmobile bill ...If you had backed up your data onto the SIM card, you would not had lost so much. Be PRO ACTIVE !!! Not a bunch of whiners...I used to own a SK for 6 years and had no problems with it. The only reason we switched companies is due to the coverage at our new house. I now use the ATT Bold and it is nice ! Tmobile gave the deaf community a device we sorely needed back when there was no other choices. Thank you Tmobile !!!

Even ATT had spotty coverage for a few days due to upgrade of their cell towers to a better 3G signal. Technology will always have it's downtime to do upgrades, maintence and clear the bugs off the system. " In the name of progress"

Yeah! It's my opinion. I don't care if they thought I am too pushy. I don't mean. What if sidekick have problem again what they can do? They have to go T-Mobile or Sprint to look for price and data plan if they can afford to buy new smartphone instead blackberry and Iphone. It up to them.

What do you mean? Sprint and T-mobile are same plan price. AT&T is only $10 different.

Data Only Plan - Sprint Relay Store
$30 per month

Text Accessibility Plan for iPhone | Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular
$40 per month

Good luck on your new blackberry. You will love it! It have WIFI. Sidekick is very slow at internet and not have WIFI. That is why I don't like sidekick at all.

I have Sprint MiFi 2200 and Cradlepoint MBR2000 router with Sprint U727 aircard , My Blackberry Curve 8900 has built-in Wifi and I have my blackberry to connected my MiFi or Cradlepoint MBR2200 router via WiFi. it's great work

I am in De Soto City, FL Where is No T-Mobile coverage or T-Mobile won't do roaming agreement with AT&T about 2 miles from North. but T-Mobile do roaming agreement in about 7 to 10 miles away from south, it is very weakest signal, So I connect WiFi to router with Sprint Aircard or MiFi. Sprint's wireless signal is very good coverage. It's EVDO Rev A now.

I have my Blackberry 8900 did connect to T-Mobile server over the Internet it's called UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access). It able to receive incoming SMS messages or sending SMS message also making a call through T-Mobile Hotspot @home . Blackberry E-mail service, web browser, Blackberry Messenger, and IM's use via directly to the Internet. but I did not make calls

I have old pricing plan with Sprint Unlimited Wireless Internet plan both of two devices.

For those of you who lost everything on your Sidekick...

Did you change your password during those two weeks that your Sidekick was out of service? If so, try changing your password again... back to what it originally was before they had the service problem. See if that does anything. (This is just an idea, I don't know if it will work.)

The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I had a similar problem with mine.

I didn't really lose anything, but I did lose my categories in my address book. You know, "Work", "Family", "Friends", or whatever category people have? All of my contacts were listed as "Unlisted" (default). I decided to assign them all again. When I added "Work", "Family", "Friends" (exactly as they were from last time), I checked back and everything went back to the correct category that I made. It's as if the server still remembers (subconsciously) and went back to normal.

What if the server is based on your old password? Changing your password allows you to do whatever you want on your current settings, but the server might still be on your old password (which never changed when you changed it cuz it was down at the moment).

Most of my friends who lost everything on their Sidekick... changed their password during those 2 weeks.

So, try that? Let me know what happens.

Well, to me, that is not an opinion but it's rather an imperative sentence. If you don't mean it, then you should haven't say "get BB or iPhone" in first place. You could have a say like this, "If you are a sidekick user, you could try this link for BB and/or iPhone. And, here's a link for a cheaper phone if you cannot afford." Or something like that. Just a thought...

Nope, maybe you would need to call them to get a free month T-Mobile service.

Yes, it has been around for several days.

Anyways, it is said that T-Mobile will begin rolling out Mobile Backup for Sidekick LX 2009 customers via an Over The Air (OTA) process. All Sidekick LX 2009 customers should receive the OTA in the next few weeks.
