Accutracking is currently only for NEXTEL JAVA enabled phones.
I can't be tracked anymore... :(

The answer is No because their network are still separate and use different technologies. Nextel: iDEN network. Sprint: GSM(?) network.

F.Y.I. Sprint Network

Sprint primarily uses the CDMA network for most makes/models except for their newest "Smartphones" (i.e. Treo 700 etc...) where they now use the EVDO system for broadband connections, services and applications.

Anytime!

That's what we are all here for!

P.S. Unfortunately Sprint/Nextel now offer the "Family Locator" service for $10/mo. and the "parent" phone MUST download software and have the added unnlimited txt service at an additional $5/mo as well. WHAT A RIP! I think AT has it right as this helps keep the user's costs down (already at $145/mo. without this new service).

Again, Respectfully

Family Locater

Both now offer the services. If on Sprint, they are the only source since the source code/network is closed to other organizations. If on Nextel, they charge $?/mo. while for personal use it is FREE with AccuTracking.com as the source code/network was originally shared with them.
