Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / May 2004Unlock: Motorola i2000
I know this has been discussed before, but I wondered if with changing times and software or hardware advances this has changed too. Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock a former Nextel Motorola i2000? My company has about 6 of these buggers, and it'll be a shame if we cant use them when we travel internationally like in Europe & Africa. Any info appreciated.

Are these phones GSM/iDen? -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net Hi John, Yes, the Motorola i2000 is a GSM/iDEN phone. Can it be unlocked? Faeren.

He said that iDEN is not really GSM, and as such the phone would still not work with a real GSM provider like in Europe or Africa. If anyone has any information to the contrary, please let me know. I dont have any reason to doubt the information I have, but I was really hoping I could use those phones with a service other than Nextel. Thanks.

They are dual mode phones. iDen here in the states and 900GSM in the rest of the wrold. Plain ole GSM like any other GSM 900MHz phone! -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net > >He said that iDEN is not really GSM, and as such the phone would still not > >work with a real GSM provider like in Europe or Africa. > > Heis incorrect.

As I´m informed correctly any GSM-SIMs should work in the i2000. I´m not aware of any provider being selling these phones locked.

I suppose you could use the brick on Southern Linx (sp?). Stu > i2000 is GSM for International (not US) frequencies. It also has iDEN > but you can ignore that. Want to use it? Move to Europe.
