Nextel Boost sim card

[ebylou]

I have a Nextel phone (Motorola i90c) that I used with Nextel service for a couple of years. I would now like to use that phone with Boost Mobile prepaid and I am told I need to obtain a sim card. I have looked around on Ebay and they have quite a few but I am not sure what kind to get. One is 64k another is 32k. I don't want to purchase something I can't use. One of the local dealers wants to charge something like $90 for a "kit". Does anyone know if all the sim cards work in the Nextel i90c or if I must purchase a special card. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. I just going round and round with this. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know cards from:
i30sx, i35s, i50sx, i55sr, i58s, i60c, i80s, i85s, i88s, i90c, i95cl series are compatible.

But I am deffinately NOT sure about that. You should check i90c' manual ...

i recently purchased an i860. i put my old 32k sim card in it from my i90c. it works perfectly. you can put a 32k card from an older phone in a newer model but you cannot put the newer 64 k cards in the older phones. hope that helps.

i basically did the same thing i got a i275 wanted boost so i called nextel and boost mobile they both told me i had to get a sim card that ended with 300 to buy a $10.00 starter kit for boost mobile and it would convert it so i did and it works great you can get them cheaper off ebay.

so can u please answer my question before i go to the mall today

i bought a i415 boost mobile phone and tried to use the sim card in my i95cl nextel phone and it didnt work so i called them up and i needed the other sim card

i also have a nextel i90c that would not let me use a BOOST 64k sim card. however, i purchased a 32k boost sim off ebay which looks brand new (no signs of wear on the metal parts). i called boost and had my account transfered to the 32k sim. however, when i powered the phone on, it STILL would not let me save new contacts to the phonebook! i can make calls and everything but i cannot store numbers. i even tried using a USB cable and iden phonebook manager! it wouldnt work either. i called boost again and they said that i would have to buy a new SIM. does anybody know anything else i could do? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Did anyone answer this for you because I'm having to same problem?

Who are all these technotards that spend all their time posting absolute bull in regard to the i580 and the unlocking ........ maybe one day they will understand something ......
there is a saying that basically states there is one thing that can leave a man in ignorance and is a bar to all arguments and it is contempt prior to investigation. I SPENT HOURS BEING LED BY THEIR "TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS" MENTALITY....... for GODS SAKE KNOW WHAT U R SAYING!!!!! DISCOVER INTERNET PORN OR SOMETHING TO OCCUPY YOUR HANDS RATHER THAN TYPING ALL THE MISNOMERS ....... I got a card..... activated it and I was waiting for the let down...... none yet..... all works great!!!!

I bet they read the instructions on the condom box too....... the one they have had since high school
