i530 upgrade to i730 or i830

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nextel (More info?)

I did exactly that (530 to an 830).
Some Nextel drones will tell you that simply swapping the SIM card won't work,
but it will. I've done it.

However, it is suggested that you switch the IMEI on record to the 830's eventually.
There are possible support/service issues if you don't.

You will need WebJAL or similar to do what you want. Go to www.hofoufn.com
It is a subscription site, but it's cheap and there is TONS of information and downloads
making it WELL worth it.
