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.

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
