The best thing to do is to reprogram the phone to your sim card. to do so when your phone is on and insert right sim appears on-screen dial ##000000# this will send you to a screen with 1.view 2.edit 3. done. go to edit and change the MSID to 0000000000 (10 zeroes) this will pair your phone with the new chip. but since the hybrid 902 has both technologies IDEN and CMDA you will only be able to use the IDEN part with a boost chip. I have an ic902 flashed to use with Pocket and Boost.
Was the boost chip new? If not, remove it. If it was new remove it and return to the store you purchased it from. Have them exchange it for a functional one.
No guys the new hybrid phones are not like the old nextel phones. You cant swap sins anymore the marry a sim card to a hybrid phone in the system. Remember a hybrid phone is two phones in one. the voice calling is CDMA or Sprint and the walki-talki is IDEN or Nextel.

I
activate phones for Boost Mobile.
I'm sorry to tell you, but an
ic902 can never be unlocked to work properly on any other system - to
include the Boost system. Here's why. The ic902 is a
hybrid phone. That is, it uses two different cellular systems to
operate. Specifically, voice calls on the ic902 are placed over the
Sprint CDMA network and Push-to-Talk (PTT) calls are transmitted over
Nextel's iDEN network.
Boost Mobile calling (both, voice and
PTT) uses the iDEN network from Nextel. Thus, the ic902's radio
transmitter (which is CDMA) cannot make calls on the Boost ( iDEN )
system.
Moreover, if you plan to use Boost Mobile, I STRONGLY
suggest that you NOT purchase a Nextel phone and have it unlocked to use
for Boost.
Although Nextel and Boost phones seem the same -
they are not. If you look at the model number of Nextel phones most of
them end in a zero. (ie., i850, i870 etc.) where Boost Mobile Phones
end with the number five. (ie., i855, i875, etc.) This is because the
transmitters in the phones are set to different frequencies for
different purposes (like for texting.)
If you go to eBay for
example, those who sell unlocked Nextel phones to use for Boost (if
they're honest) will inform potential buyers in their eBay listings that
their unlocked Nextel phone will not (text, for example) on the Boost
network. These unlocked Nextel phones will have limitations when used
on Boost.
To prevent problems down the road, ALWAYS purchase a
Boost phone to use on the Boost network.
