what phones will take my SIM

Posted: 11-11-2004, 01:33 PM
Hello,

I dropped my i60c and broke the hinge, but the unit still works. I want to
buy another phone without getting gouged by Nextel but I don't know which
models will take my SIM card. it there a compatibility database somewhere?


Thanks,

Bill
Cincinnati, OH USA

I have a suggestion - if you search for Nextel on eBay it will give you
hundreds of auctions which list different phone models (old or new) that I
presume are locked to Nextel. Not sure if you can just switch sims like I
have done with T-Mo - but if you find a model you want to bid on I imagine
the seller or Nextel customer service could help you there. Good Luck!

you can put your sim card from your i60 in any phone that nextel make
which utilizes a sim card. ie i90, i95, i60, i530, i710, i730, i830
i860, i205, i215, several of these are very reasonable from nextel. i
you have an i60 i would recomend an i530. but you can find i60's an
i90s cheap on ebay and they will work fine

I called Nextel because they sent me a mailer for a new phone. One of the
many hidden charges for this wonderful new phone was a new sim card. The
order-taker told me, before I even asked about it, that my current i60C was
not sim-for-sim compatible with this new phone. Were they lying?

they were not lying, it would work but you would not be able to use al
of the features of the phone with the older sim card so it is highl
recommended that you get a new sim card with the new phone. my wif
has a i90 sim card in her i730 and it functions fine but she does no
use that many features of the phone. it is best to get the new si
card with the new phone
