Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / August 2006Can Nextel...........
Can Nextel find out what kind of phone you are using by you're SIM card? Thanks, no, but I think they can tell if you put your sim card in a blackberr and try to use it > Can Nextel find out what kind of phone you are using by you're SIM card? > > Thanks, By use of the SIM, probably not. However, I had heard a rumor some time back that they were exploring some kind of IMEI identification to help detect theft and fraud. they can do an IMEI search of the phone and find out which account the sim card is registered to. my phone was recovered by nextel following a theft by that method; the thief put his sim in my phone. >> Can Nextel find out what kind of phone you are using by you're SIM card? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > back that they were exploring some kind of IMEI identification to help > detect theft and fraud.

Not sure if I agree with that. If you are having phone problems and yo call tech support. They would need to know the phone model, softwar version, etc. If you buy a new phone and you have insurance, ther should be some sort of record with nextel of when you bought the phone what i was trying to say is that in my experience unless the phone wa stolen, they do not care what phone you have and if you did call an their records indicated you had a different phone than what you wer using they would just update their system to show your new phone |
