Gotta admit it..you got me stumped with that question!

I'm not sure what you mean?

It's almost as if part of your message is missing but let me give it a shot...The i875 and the i855 are set-up and locked for Boostmobile. If you want to get a contract with Nextel I'm afraid you will have to but a new handset.A nextel sim will not work in a boost phone, the phones are locked for the boost Sim. They claim that some of the models are compatible with both Nextel and Boost but the only one I have found this to be true with is the i730...
I think your interested in our phones but want to be able to take advantage of a long term contract, right?
Sorry nextel and Motorola have combined to narrow down your choices when it comes to which hand...

"nextel sim will not work in a boost phone"

actually they do.. you just have to let nextel know and they will have to enter that Sim into their database.. i actually tried it with another phone besides the 730 and worked perfectly.. they usually say its not a good idea, but nextel makes poeple buy phones..

Nextel18 is right !

There is absolutely no technical reason why all of the equipment is not transferable, they are compatible, but trying to get a Nextel customer service agent to do what is necessary is a trick that only few possess...Boost is still often treated like a virus when it comes to getting technical support from Papa Bear Nextel...sad but true
