I don't think it would work there are two different technologies at work. Nextel uses IDEN (?) or something like that, and Cingular and T-Mobile both use GSM service so your Razr will not work on Nextel.

Not quite sure but I am sure some of the CSR on the forum could easily help you. It possibly can be done by editing your contact and changing it from saved to phone to save to SIM. I personally have Cingular I like my service, but I would look at both T-Mobile and Cingular and see what you want in a company. Cingular would have more coverage and a little more technology, but T-Mobile from what I have read and heard would have better customer service.

I dont think you can do it via phone as an iden sim will not work in a gsm phone and vice versa - you will need to use software (e.g. MPT) and a pc to do this

I can confirm that the RAZR will not work with a Nextel service.... it would be like trying to tune an AM station on an FM radio...

Congrats on the new Cingular Service as for your last question Steva11, any others CSR's or moderators could probably help you.
