Can a Motorola iDen phone be unlocked?
I was curious to know if an iDen phone can be unlocked. Does anyone know if its possible? And does anyone know where it can be done?
...
I'm sure it's possible...but it'd be entirely pointless to do so..Nextel is the only company who uses iDen.
...
Correction! In Canada a similar company called Telus has a similar network called "Mike" which uses iDen phones and works just like Nextel.

I stand corrected. xD cwaaazy canucks.

I am also interested in this topic.
Are you trying to use Nextel phone on Telus Mike network, or the other way around?
If you tried to do this, what was the response of the service provider?

I'm trying to use a Nextel phone onto the Mike Telus network.
I've been told by Nextel that if I get an unlocked iDen phone it should work on the Mike Telus network.
Every time I speak to a Mike Telus representative they state an unlocked Nextel phone will not work on the Mike Telus network. Although I spoke with a repesentative at a local Mike Telus store and he stated that it would work - he mentioned that the reps at Mike Telus will not tell you it would work because they only want phones to be purchased from them not from the States.
I don't know what to do. I'm just hesitate on getting the phone and then be faced with it not working.

a friend of mine recently purchased a dozen or so nextel phones from the states and is currently selling them to clients who wish to join TELUS's MIKE service. The phones themselves are in good condition, NO i860's but nevertheless pretty good, and one person who purchased it is currently using it on MIKE dispatch 40, so i would answer yes, but i can only verify that Nextel phones do.
