Author Topic: Any of you guys have Nextel...? (Read 140 times)

who can tell me if I buy a new one off Ebay, can I just put my SIM card from my old Nextel into my new one?

I know that T Mobile or whatever it is lets you do that. Is it possible with Nextel?

Also, another question.

If my nextel now doesnt support text mesaging, and the new phone does, I have to pay for the text mesg crap right? Probably a dumb question but I figured I'd ask anyways.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a dumb answer: call Nextel.

Already did, just did as a matter of fact.

Was on hold for 20 minutes.

So here I am.

Thanks for you "dumb" answer tho.

Hehe, 20 minutes on hold? Smart answer: get a different mobile phone provider.

Anyhow, as long as the phone isn't locked for another provider, it should work fine . . . unless Nextel does something strange to make it not work if the IMEI isn't recognized by the network, though I don't know why they would. I sure as heck wouldn't buy a phone before hearing from them though. And I don't have Nextel, but unless it's something that you have included with your rate plan, you can be pretty sure you'll be charged for it, and that includes test messaging. I would guess anywhere from $.05 to $.10/msg.
