T-Mobile SIM cards are generally not compatible with Nextel phones because Nextel primarily used a different technology known as iDEN, while T-Mobile operates on GSM technology. Nextel phones are designed to work with the iDEN network, which is not supported by T-Mobile. Additionally, the SIM card slots and network configurations may not align, making it impossible to use a T-Mobile SIM in a Nextel device.

Does Sprint support GSM phones?

Sprint is not a GSM service provider, they use a CDMA network. Also Sprint is now Sprint/Nextel and although Nextel devices do use SIM cards they are not GSM devices either. Nextel uses an iDEN network and their SIM cards can only be used for International Roaming, they cannot be used on GSM networks in the United States. Unlocked Nextel devices cannot be used on a GSM network and unlocked GSM devices cannot be used on the Nextel network as the two are not even remotely compatible.

Does the Samsung Eternity use a Sim card?

"Yes. All phones need a SIM card, or it will not function." Actually, that answer is incredibly wrong. SOME phones use SIM cards. Some phones don't. A phone on the Verizon, Alltel, or Sprint networks do not use SIM cards as they operate on CDMA platforms. iDEN (an ancient Nextel system) or the global standard GSM (AT&T) use SIM cards.

Will nextel SIM cards work in ANY phone?

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.
