Hi, i just got a boost mobile nextel Prepaid Ok hears my Quesition can i use my boost sim in a NEXTEL phone or will it mess up the phone or sim???????????????????? i have talked to pepole that said it won't and that it will i'am at a total Loss Any Responce will be help ful
It's the same company and the same type of phones, so I don't think you'll have a problem putting your SIM in any Nextel phone. The main principle behind a SIM card is that you must be able to place it in any compatible phone and be able to use your service transparently.
No NEXTEL - BOOST use sim card GSM is not the oonly network that uses SIM card's So bobolito you don't think any will happen? Boost said puting a BOOST sim in a NEXTEL phone will Fry the nextel phone ?Can this be tru
It will not fry the phone. You can put a boost sim in a nextel phone and it will work fine, but you can't use a nextel sim in a boost phone unless you unlock the boost phone first.
Depending on what Boost phone you have and which Nexel phone you are trying to put it in, the phone will make and recieve calls, but the phonebook may not be accessible. For example if you take a SIM card from an i60 and put it into an i730, you would not be able to save or retreive entries from the phonebook on the SIM card.
Boost locks their phones I think because they are cheaper prices for pretty much the same phone. If that makes any sense.
The Nextel Does "NOT" need to be unlocked when using a boost sim, Only a Boost phone with a Nextel sim does. He gave you the wrong answer. (probably to make a buck)
Depends on the phone I assume, the Nextel i860 I was told will work with a Boost sim but text may not work without a software load. Does this make any sense?
i have an i860 and i cant get it to work on boost and im getting mad i put my sim in and it asks for a unlock code and i dont know it and its not the temp i cant figure this out the 000000 security code doesnt work iether if anyone knows anything about how i can get my i860 to work on boost please message me id appreciate it
Got my BOOST sim back in April and works great on my i860 Nextel phone, other than text messages that i never use, all funtions seem to work great. I think text messaging is idiotic, why type with little keys and take 6 times as long to type something when I can direct connect or call them or leave a Voice mail way faster and don't have to read those impossible to decipher shortcuts people use that I think sometimes they don't even know what they mean LOL.
iDEN and GSM both use SIMs but if we're lucky iDEN wont be around much longer..........you can put a Boost SIM in a Nextel phone with no problems but if you want to put a Nextel SIM in a Boost phone you would have to unlock the phone
not that it really matters.... but I think iDen is a form of GSM - uses very similar protocols that were "modified" by Motorola
Correct, the call setup and processing iDEN uses is based off of and very similar to the GSM protocols.
