I want to make sure I answer this question, after talking to tmobile, because there is sites that want to charge 40 bucks for unlocking your phone and I called T-Mobile asking if they would unlock the T-Mobile phone for use with boost Mobile and they said no problem. It takes about 24 hours and they email you the unlock code with instructions on how to do it. I guess it would be worth the money if you still had a contact or something but other then that... It's free!

Can you use a TracFone sim card in a boost phone?
No you cannot. AT&T uses a GSM network and Boost uses iDEN and the two are not even remotely compatible. The Boost SIM card can be used for international roaming but it will not work with GSM networks in the US. It will not work either way, a Boost SIM will not work in a GSM device and a GSM SIM will not work in a Boost device.

No other devices will work with Boost as they use an iDEN network and this is not compatible with the GSM networks in the US even though they do use a SIM card. The SIM card does work in them for international roaming though. It will not work either way.

Can you put your boost number on a Verizon phone?
I'd recommend you call Boost Mobile customer service on this one. When I tried doing it in 2010, you could not transfer a Boost Mobile phone number to another carrier (and, just like you, I tried transferring it to Verizon) - you couldn't even transfer a Boost Mobile number to Nextel (Boost Mobile basically was a prepaid Nextel). Things might have changed, now that Nextel has been eliminated and fully folded into Sprint, although I'm doubtful.

Can you use a Nextel SIM card in a Boost Mobile phone if its a ic502 Boost Mobile?
No, it will give an error message asking for the unlock code. Once you get that error, you screwed up the sim and it will not work in either phone again and it locks up your phone and it cannot be unlocked. Nextel does not have the unlock code, Motorola made the phones that way.
