    Ok, so...I"m a n00b and I got had.
    Bought an i875 off of eBay without knowing that Nextel would get pissed and block my text and internet access a few hours after putting in my nextel sim. Yes, the phone worked 100% for a few hours, then no access to the web at all.

    So, what I want to do is this:
    1) Is it possible to "flash the bios" on the i875 and turn it into an i870 that Nextel will recognize? And if so, please give me a detailed list of everything I will need to accomplish this.

    2) Is there another way to make the i875 work...

    Thanks.

    If you want to use a Nextel SIM in a Boost phone, THE BOOST PHONE MUST BE UNLOCKED.

    Call Nextel Cusstomer Service, your text and internet service has to be reprovision on your account on their end.
