i60 chip doesn't work with i730

[WolfGirl]

I used to have a i60 but my cousin just bought the new i860 so he gave me his i730 but when I put my old i60 chip into the i730 it doesn't seem to recognize it because it takes a long time to turn on and when it does it just says 'No Service'. Can someone help me so that I can get it to work please?

it could just be that the phone needs to be activated...my friends brother put a i90 sim in a i730 and it works.

make sure you put sim it correct, it will work fine unless there is something broken with the phone.

NEXTEL has had some issues with 2-digit (Condor) model SIM cards working within the newer 3-digit (Falcon) models. Something to do with the kilobytes on the card not being able to be referenced properly by the ealriest versions of the newer software. This might have been remedied along with the AGPS updates in the new software releases!?!?! Bottom line... it should have worked.

you need to get a 32k sim card. the sim in the i60 is a 64k

 

[Green beans are gross!]

You have that backwords, the i60 uses the 32k and the newer falcon phones, 730 use the 64k chips although I had a 32k sim in my wifes i730 that I took out of her i90 that worked fine for two years, no problems.

I have both an I60 and an I730 and switch in between them both without any problems.

What about the other way around? Will the i90 damage or i58sr damage the 64k sim??
Thanks

no it will not damage the card, you just will not be able to get to your phonebook
