BIGGU Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 call up your service provider and ask them, tell them you are going out of the country on business and need to have the phone unlocked so you can use it. works for me every time.

Please explain how this works. Why do you need an unlocked phone to use in other countries? Will the service provider ask any questions like where you're going or do they just give you the unlock code no questions asked? I would like my BB unlocked too but didn't want to pay for it......

I would like my BB unlocked too but didn't want to pay for it...... they really have no reason to ask questions, alot of different country will require a different sim card like Vodaphone etc. every time i say im going to Australia on a business trip and they say ok, let me get you setup for a unlock code and you will receive it in the email in the next 3-4 business days. like i said ive never had any issues.

Comebackkid Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Ya guys come to find out you can't unlock the nextel 8350i..well from what i read but if there's anyway to please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'm trying to figure out why you want to unlock it. I don't know of any software that requires it. The only other reason I can think of would be to use it on a different carrier, but then you mention its a Nextel, which is on the iDen network, as opposed to GSM or CDMA, which means there is no way it can work on a different carrier. And I thought they quit using simcards after merging with Sprint. Had you said it was AT&T or T-Mobile, and wanted to switch to the other carrier, this would have made some sense.

I was going to use it for t-mobile but can't do it... I thought that to about the sim card thing but yup this one will still has one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Nextel uses iDen, T-Mobile uses GSM, so this is not going to work, no matter how much you want it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comebackkid Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 OK who can get it to work on boostmobile network? There's away but don't really understand it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 OK who can get it to work on boostmobile network? There's away but don't really understand it Boost mobile is Nextel, you should be able to use it with no problem. Edit: It still takes work, though.

Comebackkid Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Boost mobile is Nextel, you should be able to use it with no problem. You have to download a couple apps to get all the text contacts and a bunch of other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it would cost Sprint a lot of money to convert Necktel's iDEN towers to CDMA. To alleviate this, Sprint has hybrid Sprint/Necktel phones, Motorola "icXXX" series (iDEN and CDMA). Necktel, putting the YEEEE HAAAAW back in your phone service! Sprint buying Necktel is widely regarded as the worst mobile merger ever. Its not like when Verizon bought Alltel, that transition has been smooth, as Alltel is a CDMA network. Burmese, I would sell it and just go buy a GSM one.
