FAQ:
Q: Can you still use Nextel phones?
A: The old Nextel iDEN network was decommissioned, so NO, it can’t be activated on the current networks. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Q: Are Nextel phones still around?
A: Turns out, Sprint still cares about Nextel. “While it is no longer one of our primary brands, we maintain ownership, sell handsets under the Nextel brand and currently have no plans to sell it.” Rest of the in-depth answer is here. In respect to this, does Nextel still have push to talk?
Q: Will old Nextel phones still work?
