I believe what they are trying to say is that they want to set aside a specific block of available frequencies for emergency use out of the 800 mhz band, which is Nextels band. It would certainly limit the number of available frequencies but not take it all away. No one said anything about giving up your phone either.

I'm not the one that said that. As far as i was aware, some users in the us would have to change their phone. Thats how i read what was posted anyway.

But what kind of carrier is Nextel? I know that SprintPCS and Verizon are CDMA and don't use SIM cards, while AT&T, T-Mobile, and Cingular are GSM, so what kind is Nextel? If they were SIM, then the users could unlock their phones, then just switch to another GSM carrier.

cingular uses 1900 or 850mhz (pretty sure it's 1900.) i think at&t and tmob use 900mhz. if anything, they can make nextel switch to a different band. and if you have a shitty phone (and since you're with nextel, you probably do,) you'll have to trade it in for a phone with a different band. or they might be able to do it by flashing the phone. nextel sucks ass anyways.

Hey Boto43,
We, "US" guys have just as much a right to be here as you do. You shouldn't get all cocky and act as if this is your forum. Sides, it's not like it's hurting you. If you didn't like it, why'd you bother to even post on this topic? Sides, you might learn something every once and a while by reading things even if they don't pertain to you.
