You can only use it on T-Mobile.

i think you can unlock it, the phone will work but i dontk now if you can get push emails because that is a t-mo exclusive service.. but i am sure the phone and internet will work

The phone will work, but since the data runs off of Danger servers and is linked exclusively through T-Mobile, only the basic phone itself will work for voice calls... POSSIBLY texts but I'm not 100% on that.

If you have had T-mobile for 90 days or more, you can ask them to unlock it. Or if you have a friend that has had T-mobile for a while, you can ask them to get T-mobile to unlock it for ya.
Check out this thread with instructions on how to unlock it:

I have only seen a sidekick unlocked once and I'm not sure if all the features worked or not. Unfortunately for you the sidekicks are the only devices that T-Mobile will not unlock after 90 days. You will have to find a 3rd party person to have it unlocked. Good luck
