No, the sim is not interchangable. You will get the error "Enter unlock code" or "Enter special code", once you get that error, the phone is screwed up. Boost and Nextel do not have the code to enter. Motorola will not provide the code (both phones are manufactured by Motorola).

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.

How to fix my iphone.. I got an iphone from a friend with an optus sim card and I put a boost sim card in it then restored it via itunes to fix the camera now it says it needs the carrier sim?

Any time you restore an iPhone you will lose your jailbreak and your unlock and you will have to start from scratch and do it all over again. You also cannot use a Boost SIM card in an iPhone as Boost is owned by Sprint/Nextel and their SIM cards use iDEN technology, not GSM. The Boost SIM cards can be used for International Roaming only and will not work on GSM networks in the US.

Can you use a Nextel SIM card in a Boost Mobile phone if its a i835 Boost Mobile?

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it does work, not all services will work, ie. mms, sms, dc/cg. When it doesn't work, you'll put your Boost sim back in your Boost phone and half of the time you'll be locked out of it. Trust me. When it happens, I'm the one you'll be calling for help when you dial 611 and I'll have to transfer you to Equipment Research to fix your phone. It's not fun. Here's a tip. When you put your Boost sim back in a Boost phone, it might say "Please Wait to Enter Special Code". This happens sometimes when your Boost chip has been in a Nextel phone. Wait for it to say "Enter Special Code Now". This can take up to 45 minutes. When it says to enter code now, turn your phone off for at least an hour, then turn it back on. It should be back to normal. If not, call Boost Customer Care and ask for Equipment Research..... full article:http://www.phonearena.com/forums/upload/showthread.php?t=5393 I have a boost mobile phone the Motorola i335 I have switched the sim card into multiple other nextel devices and it works minus the exceptions stated above there. I can still receive text messages though I cant respond to them with the nextel phone. I did not encounter any problems putting my sim back into the boost phone. I think it makes a difference if you have an unlimited boost account or if you are using the paygo option??? Im not sure about that but I use the unlimited plan
