No more new prepaid Boost iden activations on Nextel network

From what I gather. Being able to activate a Boost mobile sim new is no longer allowed but their website still has the setup. I'm going to try it tonight after work and see if it still works or is it dead...

I was asked to move this thread to the Sprint Pre-paid section but I believe it is relevant to all iDEN users. If true; could this be the beginning of the end?

This can be under Sprint prepaid. However, it has been known for a while that Sprint is itching to kill off iden (which they basically mismanaged to death) for a while. I believe it will be lights out in June 2013, maybe earlier in other markets. We'll see. Boost iden was very important because it was what started the prepaid revolution when it launched in Jan 2009 by being the very first nation wide network that had unlimited everything for $50 a month.
