You can use your sim in a tmobile uk sidekick 3, but not a USA sidekick 3. They are locked to a specific carrier and at least in the USA you can not unlock them.

I thought tmobile just started selling them again in the UK. I do not know pricing terms, and I only know of ebay to get a UK version.

You are going to have to call tmobile UK and ask about prepay. I do not know how prepay work on the UK network.

I have heard that too, but this isn't true in the sidekicks case. The sk's operating system has specific coding for each carrier. So every carrier is running a custimized version of the operating system. This also leads to why the phone isn't unlocked anymore. You can unlock the gsm part, but all the features are auctually carrier specific and written into the "brain" of the phone.
