Sidekick not picking up Three network, tell me this...

ChickenBalls · 2011-02-05 22:36:03

Has anyone had similiar problem with other mobiles? Three themselves couldnt help me. The phone came from the US And is fully unlocked. I also tried a meteor and vodafone sim and they work perfectly! When i do a manual scan it only picks up o2, vodafone and meteor. It is a 900/1800 mhz mobile so it should work. I wonder…

So is meteors, Vodafone and o2 3G coverage, you can't pick up 3G from any network on the sidekick. The phone is just not compatiable.
