I have a i58sr. A friend of mine was using nextel and had a i60c. But she
was not happy with the service and canceled. She gave me her old phone.
Since it is a flip top phone and my screen was scrached I decided to use it
instead. So I switched the 2 sims and powered up. Everything wokrs fine.

But I was woundering if I bought a i95cl form a source other than nextell if
my sim would work in that as well. Has anuone tried it? Or does the sims
work in all there phones?

It will work in all that are out right now (SIM-based) but in some
models you may not get all the features of the phone as you would from
the proper SIM card....example: SIM card you have with an i730/i530
phone.  You would be able to use the phone and all the contacts on your
card, but the phone is capable of 600 contacts where your SIM card is
not.  Also these two phones support assigning ringtones per contact,
where your SIM card (I heard, but haven't tried) will not allow this.
The phones have new SIM cards they come with to add features.

Bottom line is yes they 'work'...

If the i95cl was a Nextel phone (e.g. not Boost, etc) then it will
work.  However, it the new phone was sold for use on a non-Nextel
network (inlcuding Boost) then it will NOT work unless you can get it
unlocked.
