The Motorola i870 is a Nextel phone that operates on the iDEN network. It will only work on Nextel's network.

While it is possible to unlock a Nextel phone, and Telus does offer IDEN service in Canada, you are going to have a hard time getting that phone unlocked for a couple reasons. IDEN is a proprietary technology owned by Motorola, who controls the rights to IDEN software. The only LEGAL way to have that phone unlocked is to pay an authorized Nextel rep to do it for you. Any other IDEN unlocking methods are illegal because the unlocking software out there tampers with the phone's software. Therefore, CPF does not post information on illegal software and we won't be able to help you here. The best thing I can tell you is try google.

Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more help to you.

There are very few iDEN networks worldwide, and Nextel owns many of them, but there are a few others out there, like Telus in Canada and SouthernLINC here in Florida.

they also have MIKE that offers iDEN in Canada. and as far as i know SoLinc is available in a few other states near Florida. Brad if yourin Jax, dont you have partners? or Nextel at that, not SoLinc? disaster, send me a PM, i can help with unlocking your phone
