Unlock your Boost mobile and use it with any other network.
When you try to put another SIM card in your Boost mobile, it automatically locks so as to prevent usage of another network carrier on the phone. To use the cell phone with a any other network, such as Nextel, you have to unlock the phone using special software, which you have to purchase. Until then, your phone is locked and cannot be used for sending or receiving calls or performing other functions.
Instructions
1. Download Boost mobile unlock software (see Resources). You will have to purchase the software as it is not available for free.
2. Connect your Boost mobile phone to your PC using a USB data cable. Plug one end of the cable into the phone's adapter port and the other end into the computer's USB port. Close the 'AutoPlay' window that pops up and open the unlock software for Boost mobile that you downloaded. When the software opens, your cell phone's model number and manufacturer name will show.
3. Click on the 'Phone Settings' on the right side of the unlock application's window. Select 'IDEN' option from the menu.
4. Validate your cell phone's settings by entering your login and password. When you buy the boost mobile unlock software, you will receive the username and password in your email. This username and password is supposed to be used in the data forms provided.
5. Click "Unlock IDEN." This will connect your cell phone to the server of Boost Mobile. Your phone will be unlocked and will be ready for use on the Nextel network.
