    This is IMPOSSIBLE. The main reason is because Nextel and Sprint run on two different technologies. Nextel is iDEN, and SPCS is CDMA. There is absolutly no way to put a SPCS phone on Nextel or visa versa. There is speculation that Motorola is creating a iDEN/CDMA phone, But its pure speculation.

    Hey YoungGay,
    If you know someone who has done it already, why in the hell would you ask if it can be done?

    well you can do an inter-company switch. Keep the same plan if it is current and keep the same phone number. So someone that did not know any better would think that they were using a sprint phone on nextel. you do loose the dc number
