The 7100i from Nextel is an IDEN device, most of Europe uses GSM, so its two different types of networks, won't work. Sorry

Correct, Boost run on Nextels network, so a nextel 7100i technically would function if an active Boost SIM was inserted. To use it on the Telus network the the phone would need to have the subsidy lock removed (possibly). I just picked up a 7100i, but have been into modding the regular Nextels for a few years. Im not sure how or if the BB has a subsidy lock like the other Nextels though.

As of a few weeks ago Nextel/Boost has done something funny. My cousin was Boost berrying about a month ago with no problem. I just joined the party and cannot dial any number from the SIM phonebook or the BB's phonebook. "Your call cannot be completed as dialed please call customer service." is the message you get. If you dial from the keypad your calls go through. The difference might be I am on the Boost premium plan and my cousin wasn't. Everything else that works.
