Nah i wouldnt say u need 2 get a new number! im not sure with nextel but with most operators you can get a replacement sim! with all your account info on dat one (number etc.) I got it done a while ago (on o2) so depends wether nextel do it!

i dont think so, my gurl had one and didnt have to .. i think it depends on where your located but i dont think you do

with nextel if you lose your phone do you have to get a new phone number? i know you have to get a new sim card, and a new direct connect number. i always wonder if you have to get a new phone number.
