Um.yes, and no. Here's how things work. If you get the i1 as a Nextel post-paid customer, then you'll be signing a 2 year contract, with a $200 ETF. So, if you opt to leave the Nextel post-paid side and become a Boost pre-paid customer BEFORE you fulfill your contract obligation, then you'll be charged that $200 ETF (or whatever the reduced ETF is at the time). Now, that's if your contract is still valid. Let's instead say that you somehow had the Motorola i1 Nextel (post-paid) version (maybe you bought it off of eBay?) and decided to activate it on Boost pre-paid. That you could do. ![]() Now, how easy it will be is really up to 2 parties: Sprint and Motorola. In reality, all you would need to do is simply activate the phone onto your account, and then call into customer service, and ask them to turn that phone line (the one with your i1) into a Boost pre-paid account. Simple as that.and it should take (in theory) only a few minutes. The reality though is that Sprint will force you to jump through every hoop imaginable in order to allow you to take the new Motorola i1 from a post-paid phone line to a pre-paid one. Mind you, it has little to do with the phone per se.but has everything to do with you fulfilling your contract obligation. Even if you're out of contract, I have no doubt that Sprint will somehow force you to waste a solid 6 hours (or more) trying to convert the phone from post-paid Nextel to pre-paid Boost. Personally, I would suggest just going to your local Best Buy store, purchasing the i1 as a pre-paid user and then call it a day. It's far less hassel that way. Nov 22, 2017 Is their a way to use a Nextel phone (i830) on Boost Mobile? How would you activate it if you can? Also, could you port the number? Because I am thinking. Activate a Device; Re-Boost; Open Navigation. IPhone; Android; All. Activate a Device; Device Trouble; Lost or Stolen Device; Buyback Program. ![]() 1 new Boost mobile sim card with activation code and $10 of. New customers to activate a dormant Boost or Nextel. Boost mobile sim card starter kit with. Thanks so much Piloso. You are not gonna believe this thou.I just got back from boost and bought a starter kit sim. Went online to activate it with another old i560 IMEI number and then popped it in my 8350i and it worked without doing anything to it. Maybe because it was previously a Nextel phone?? ![]() ![]() ![]()
