Boost Mobile Moto Gis CDMA only. CDMA phones don't take SIM cards, and the only unlock available is bootloader unlock via Motorola's website. If your country doesn't have CDMA carriers, don't buy the Boost Mobile, US Cellular, or Verizon Moto G, unless you plan on using it on Wi-Fi only
You do not need to "unlock" that blackberry. If you put your boost sim in it the phone calling and direct connect will work immediately. Getting the txting and internet to work require you to install other service books. Try this link http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530734 which explains how to remove the old books and add the correct service book to use mms and internet.
I'm sorry to tell you, but an
ic902 can never be unlocked to work properly on any other system - to
include the Boost system. Here's why. The ic902 is a
hybrid phone. That is, it uses two different cellular systems to
operate. Specifically, voice calls on the ic902 are placed over the
Sprint CDMA network and Push-to-Talk (PTT) calls are transmitted over
Nextel's iDEN network.
Boost Mobile calling (both, voice and
PTT) uses the iDEN network from Nextel. Thus, the ic902's radio
transmitter (which is CDMA) cannot make calls on the Boost ( iDEN )
system.
Moreover, if you plan to use Boost Mobile, I STRONGLY
suggest that you NOT purchase a Nextel phone and have it unlocked to use
for Boost.
Although Nextel and Boost phones seem the same -
they are not. If you look at the model number of Nextel phones most of
them end in a zero. (ie., i850, i870 etc.) where Boost Mobile Phones
end with the number five. (ie., i855, i875, etc.) This is because the
transmitters in the phones are set to different frequencies for
different purposes (like for texting.)
If you go to eBay for
example, those who sell unlocked Nextel phones to use for Boost (if
they're honest) will inform potential buyers in their eBay listings that
their unlocked Nextel phone will not (text, for example) on the Boost
network. These unlocked Nextel phones will have limitations when used
on Boost.
To prevent problems down the road, ALWAYS purchase a
Boost phone to use on the Boost network.
If this information
has been helpful, please give me a big thumbs up when you rate my
answer.
T-mobile uses GSM technology, whereas Boost Mobile's technology is IDEN. There is no way a T-mobile sim card will work inside a Boost Motorola i855 phone or any Boost phones for that matter and, of course, vice versa.
If this your motorola i855e is a Nextel phone, then not all the features will work very well if you put in a Boost Mobile sim card. Features like Texting, Web browsing are not likely to function very well or at all. Get a Boost phone for a Boost sim card. Cheers.
I called Boost support about the same issue and I was told that that particular phone and any other Ic series phone by motorola will not work with Boost Mobile. There was also a few other phones that will not work. Try calling thier support line and requesting the list of phones that won't work. Good luck.
