Question
I have the sidekick unlimited plan on my tmobile account and just bought a new p168c unlocked. How do i set up the internet on this phone for the tmobile network and what internet plan do i need in order to use the internet?

Answer
Hello Justin,

You will need the unlimited data plan that they have you will be able to access it via a plan that is 19.99 or 29.99. Please have in mind that this phone does not support e-mail as you will not be able to access your e-mail unless you go directly through the weblink to log in to your account. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.
