Hello, what would I have to do to get a ppc 6600 running on a midwest wireless network? How would I get the sim card enabled?

CDMA phones don't use SIM cards. Your only hope would be to call Midwest Wireless and try to get them to activate it, but CDMA carriers usually won't activate phones not branded for their network.

Thanks ADBrown for the quick reply! :D If I were to get a GSM 850/1900 plan from TRACFONE, could I buy a blank sim card and have them enable it? Then all I would have to do is put it into a GSM 850/1900 pocket pc phone? Thanks! :D :D :D

Unfortunately, Tracfone makes it so their SIMs will only work in their phones. If you want a good prepaid GSM service, I'd go with Speakout Wireless. You can pick up the starter packs at 7/11 stores, or sometimes you can buy a SIM online, like on HowardForums.com. Plus, the airtime is good for a year, which is much more than Tracfone offers.
