    This phone cannot be unlocked as its built in iDEN technology. Only phones on the GSM network can be unlocked.

    You cannot modify a CDMA/TDMA/iDEN phone to GSM.

    What I am saying is eventhought your boostmobile has a simcard in it, it really isnt a true GSM simcard. You can use Nextel phones on Boost service from what I heard. What you cannot do is to use an ATT, cingular, tmobile simcard in your Nextel phone. THe simcards will fit in the slow but nothing will happen.
