Question

How can I use a Boost (Nextel) mobile phone in Brazil?

Answer 1

Your Boost  phone may work in Brazil. It depends on the area you will be visiting. Vivo is the CDMA operator in Brazil.  They have a roaming agreement with Sprint (parent company of Boost). The PTT (Push To Talk) feature is NOT available, but you should be able to use the phone to make and receive calls. Keep in mind that international roaming rates are very expensive. You're better off buying a pre-paid phone locally in Brazil upon arrival.

Answer 2

Nextel (PTT) is available in several states of Brazil.  Visit www.nextel.com.br for coverage.
