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!
You can't use a Boost Mobile SIM on a T Mobile phone. It would not be compatible. Boost run on iDen technology, while T Mobile run on GSM technology. These two technologies are not compatible with each other.
can you use a boost phone with t-mobile phone sim card
No. They use two different protocols. Boost sim cards only work in Boost and Nextel phones.
A Boost Mobile SIM will not work on an ATT phone, even if the phone is unlocked. The technology that Boost Mobile operates on is not compatible with the technology that ATT uses.
Does your Tmobile phone take Sim cards? I would check that.
A Boost Mobile phone can only work with a T-Mobile sim card if the phone is unlocked. Phones that are locked to a specific carrier will not work with other sim cards.
only if it is an unlocked phone
I have a lg sprint phone and my boy friend has a boost mobile bt it dose nt work can he use his sd card frm the boost mobile to put it in the sprint phn
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.
If it's an unlocked phone and supports the same frequencies as the carrier on your sim card. Then yes, it depends on the model of your phone.
no. boost sim cards only work in boost phones.
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.
no
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.
No Foo
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.
No, they are programmed differently. Nextel's system will not recognize a boost phone.
An AT&T sim card will not work in an T-Mobile phone as it is locked to particular carrier itself... If you want to put your AT&T sim in your T-Mobile phone you can try unlocking your phone
Boost mobile sim cards will only work with boost mobile on the nextel network nextel is a iden network standalone that will not roam on gsm networks because nextel is a iden network
