Nextel introduces phones for worldwide roaming

RESTON, Va.—Nextel Communications Inc. introduced the Motorola Inc. P280 and v60 iDEN handsets for international users.

“The Motorola P280 and v60 allow our customers to expand their reach just by swapping the Worldwide Service-activated SIM card to maintain their current phone numbers and cellular services in Asia, Europe and other countries where Nextel has roaming agreements with GSM operators,” said Miguel Lecuona, senior director of marketing for Nextel.

Current Nextel customers with SIM-based phones can use the handsets in North America, Canada and South America. The P280 and v60 handsets will be available as an add-on service to an existing Nextel account or as part of a solution for customers purchasing any of Nextel’s SIM-enabled iDEN phones.

The P280 and v60 are available at the promotional prices of $150 and $300, respectively.
