You are correct, RIM phones are RAM based nor sim based storage. Even tho they use a SIM the data they store is not saved on the SIM.

when i tested the bb i did an upload from my nextel.com account and sent it that way, plus i also got blackberry support to help me too. it worked perfectly for me.

Thanks for that info. The only option you've suggested that is available to me is using the IDEN Phonebook Manager. I have my contact list stored in their proprietary mdb format but can find no option to store as a csv.

What am I missing?

of course you can... i have done it before.

You know, when you perpetuate false information, you're only hurting the people who come here to work their way through problems. Good job. Keep it up.

aww thanks. but the thing is you dont give any information anyway, becuase you dont know any.

like i told him.. i have had success the way that i did it. (or else i wouldnt be saying it)

No you can't. Over the air programming is sent to SIM based phones. Since the Blackberries store contact information on the device and not the SIM you can not use the Nextel.com online address book and send contacts down to the Blackberry.

again, please dont tell me what i did or didnt do. i know what i did.

it worked perfectly for me. sorry.

Kinda upset that your false information has been sleuthed, huh? Yeah, we understand.

very interesting what Markf found.

"To transfer your existing contact information - names, phone numbers, etc. - from your home or office, use Nextel’s Address Book, a web-based mobile contact management system at nextel.com.

*SIGH*
I know you will dispute this as well, but did you bother to read the header of that link:

"Getting the Most From Your New 3-Digit Series Phone"

What is discussed is how to get contact information from a 2-digit phone into a new 3-digit phone. Yes, a Nextel service center will do that - a $30.00 charge I believe, or Address Book can be used. This has nothing to do with transferrig information from a Mot phone to a Blackberry.

and he also picked from the i860 to the blackberry. you can read it again.

I think he may have done it the same way he used an iDEN phone overseas where no iDEN service exists. This being an iDEN phone with no GSM. 🤣

iden actually exists overseas. just in israel lol and in a few others. but regardless it worked. markf gave a site that shows it does.

Okay but you said you were in Europe. There is no iDen In Europe.

i said i was in europe? when was this?

I'll have to research this and find your posts where you wholeheartedly stated being in Europe and using iDEN. This may take a while...

alright.

There you go Nextel18, you clearly state that you used your i730 in Europe.

can you show me where?

Haha oh **** my bad LOL

https://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/forum.php?fm=m&f ... »

There's the link to the post. Sorry, I didn't realize I didnt post the link! 🤣

lol i was like HELLOOOO lol.

yea, i said it worked there, but not for so long. it was a glitch in the system and i could use it when i was in the airport but not outside the airport. (this was in switz)

Looking at the iDEN International section on Motorola's website.

International iDEN coverage seems limited to Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, Peru, and South Korea... So how did you get coverage in Switzerland?

Nextel states the same on their website, except they dont seem to include South Korea.

i told you. it was a glitch. it wasnt supposed to work there. (sometimes it says where there arnt service but if there is a glitch it could)

How could there be a glitch in a cell phone tower when the cell phone tower for that sepcific technology (iDEN) doesn't even exist in that area?

In order for there to be a glitch, there would have to be some sort of iDEN service in that area, but there isn't. No iDEN tower, no glitch. It's fairly simple.

dont ask me, i am not sure.

well my phone worked and i made a few calls. so there ya go.

It's nice that you make a claim like that and all, but making a claim is easy.

It's clearly impossible for you to have made a call considering the i730 is not a dual band phone. And secondly, there is absolutely no iDEN service in Switzerland, or the airport over there.

No iDEN service = No phone call.

lol.. hahaha. i was there my friend. i know what happened. it worked. my parents can vouch for me becuase they were there too.

i am sorry that you dont doubt things that i have expeierenced overseas. why would i bring things up that werent true? sorry not my fancy.

Lets re-cap.

I've manage to provide sufficiant evidence that it's not possible for an iDEN phone to work there.

And you've provided.... a claim.

Claims are like parking tickets, they dont mean a thing.

If you're the "Nextel expert" you claim to be, you'd be able to at the least, explain how an iDEN phone could work where there is no iDEN service, and a glitch could only occur if there was iDEN service there which obviously, there is none.

If Nextel and Motorola say it wont work there, it wont work there. Now, personally, am I as well as others going to believe Motorola and Nextel, or "Nextel 18: Supposed Nextel Expert With No Sources, Only Empty Claims"?

again, it worked for for a few mins i made a few calls. thats it. it wasnt supposed to work, but it did. how many times do i have to say that? i bet when i go there again in a few weeks it wont work with my 860. it was just a slim chance that it happened.

i feel bad for you.

Don't feel bad for me, I'm not the one making things up.

You can say it as many times as you'd like, it's not getting anymore truthful.

You don't have to tell me it wont work when you go there again, I already know that it wont.

making things up? hahahah right. why would i? no point of doing so, sorry. it happened. period. done. next. cant move onto the next topic huh?

see its people like you who turn a subject/thread into some differnt subject and people get turned off by it. first we talked about the bb7520 now we talk about this. whats the point?

good luck sir. if you have anything else to say then i am all ears, but if your going to continue with your pathetic posts then i am done with you. (especially on this matter becuase you dont know what i went through when i was there. )

good luck.

OK, would you like to tell me how?

i belive i already said how to do it to that other guy.

markf found a great web-site.. its http://www.nextel.com/support/user_guides/sim _results.shtml?current_phone=i860&new_phone=r im7510

you can also do the import/export function too.

many things you can do are possible. i have been successful with what i did and people can be successful with what you said.

either way it works.

The point is some people may just want a blackberry for it's form... not functionality. It's a simple concept but im not surprised you hadn't picked up on it already.

thanks..

welcome, my friend. you have to give credit when its due. i commend you.
