Do existing iDEN (Nextel) need to get new phones?
I read up a bit on Nextel's shuffling of iDEN 800mhz frequencies to comply with the FCC's order to cease and desist interference issues with public safety channels.
Because the frequencies are changing, will existing Nextel users with iDEN need to get new phones? Or are the phones capable of "tuning in" to the new 800mhz frequencies automatically?
Anyone have any idea?

Newer iDEN phones sold in the past several years are capable of all "new" iDEN frequencies.
If you have a very old phone, Sprint Nextel *should* know this and they *should* contact you about switching to a newer phone if that is necessary for full service in your area.
