The answer it's YES, you can buy a NEXTEL PHONE UNIT that has the Direct Talk feature available in the phone unit itself. You don't need NO PLANS from NEXTEL although you will a need a BLANK SIM to access the feature. Direct Talk only allows transmit ions up to 5 miles depending on many factors. If you want NATION or INTERNATIONAL coverage you need to sing up for a 25 DLLS a month Direct Talk Available for Businesses only, and not available for regular plans you would have to sign up for a 200 min Plan with DC. If you want INTERNATIONAL Access 10 Dlls+ it's REQUIRED. DO NOT GET BLACKBERRY 8350i, or anything FANCY mostly they don't have it, i335, i670 are prime examples for DIRECT TALK availability
