Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Unless the context requires otherwise, "NII Holdings, Inc.," "NII Holdings," "we," "our," "us" and "the Company" refer to the combined businesses of NII Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. While these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements, they reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. In addition, the year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We refer to our wholly-owned Brazilian operating company, Nextel Telecomunicações Ltda., as Nextel Brazil. You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2016. You should not expect results of operations for interim periods to be an indication of the results for a full year. Our consolidated results from continuing operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the results of operations of Nextel Brazil and our corporate headquarters. Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements. In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, we determined that an error existed in our previously issued financial statements. Specifically, selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2015 were understated by $6.9 million as the result of a failure to properly accrue expenses for services Nextel Brazil received under a management consulting services arrangement. We evaluated this error under the SEC's authoritative guidance on materiality and the quantification of the effect of prior period misstatements on financial statements, and we determined that the impact of this error on our prior period consolidated financial statements is immaterial. However, since the correction of this error in the first quarter of 2016 would have been material to our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and may be material to our results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2016, we revised our prior period financial statements to correct this error. As a result of the correction of this error, as of December 31, 2015, accrued expenses and other increased by $6.8 million , accumulated deficit increased by $6.9 million and accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $0.1 million . Although not presented herein, for the six months ended December 31, 2015, this error resulted in a $6.9 million increase to selling, general and administrative expenses, operating loss, loss from continuing operations before reorganization items and income tax benefit, net loss from continuing operations and net loss. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2015, the correction of this error resulted in a $0.07 increase in both net loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted common share and net loss per basic and diluted common share. This error did not relate to any periods prior to the six months ended December 31, 2015. Sale of Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin S.A., or Grupo Clarin, relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Communications Argentina, S.R.L., or Nextel Argentina, which was completed on January 27, 2016. See Note 4 for more information on this sale. In connection with this transaction, we have presented Nextel Argentina's results for all periods as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Reorganization Accounting. In accordance with the requirements of reorganization accounting, NII Holdings adopted the provisions of fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2015 and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to the "Successor Company" relate to NII Holdings on or subsequent to June 30, 2015. References to the "Predecessor Company" relate to NII Holdings prior to June 30, 2015. See Note 2 for more information regarding the implementation of fresh start accounting. Going Concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the occurrence of the uncertainties described below. In connection with the agreements governing Nextel Brazil's local bank loans, we are required to meet a net debt financial covenant semiannually. In August 2016, Nextel Brazil secured waivers from the lenders of its local bank loans related to this financial covenant for the June 30, 2016 measurement date. The next measurement date for this financial covenant will be December 31, 2016. Based on our current outlook, which reflects significant uncertainty about the economic and competitive conditions in Brazil that are currently impacting our ability to increase our revenues and generate profitability, we believe it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements as of the December 31, 2016 measurement date. If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these loan arrangements or secure additional waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default under these local bank loans occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements, and if they were to do so, the lender of Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility could accelerate the amount outstanding under that obligation as well. As of June 30, 2016, we had $280.7 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans and $318.0 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil’s equipment financing facility. See Note 6 for more information. Because it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loans as of the December 31, 2016 measurement date, and because of the cross-default provisions included in Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility as described above, we concluded that the circumstances described above continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of June 30, 2016. Reclassifications. We have reclassified some prior period amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to our current year presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements. There were no new accounting standards issued during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that materially impacted our condensed consolidated financial statements or could materially impact our financial statements or related disclosures in a future period.

Emergence From Chapter 11 Proce

Emergence From Chapter 11 Proceedings and Fresh Start Accounting	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2016
Reorganizations [Abstract]
Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings and Fresh Start Accounting	Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings and Fresh Start Accounting On September 15, 2014, we and eight of our U.S. and Luxembourg-domiciled subsidiaries, including NII Capital Corp. and NII International Telecom, S.C.A., or NIIT, filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as Chapter 11, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which we refer to as the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, subsequent to September 15, 2014, five additional subsidiaries of NII Holdings, Inc. filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. We refer to the companies that filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 collectively as the Debtors. Nextel Brazil and our previous other operating subsidiaries in Latin America were not Debtors in these Chapter 11 cases. On June 19, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Proposed by the Plan Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, dated April 20, 2015. We refer to this plan, as amended, as the Plan of Reorganization. On June 26, 2015, the conditions of the Bankruptcy Court's order and the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied, the Plan of Reorganization became effective, and we and the other Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings. We refer to June 26, 2015 as the Emergence Date. The significant transactions that occurred on the Emergence Date in connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization included the following: • NII Holdings canceled all shares of its common stock, preferred stock and other equity interests that existed prior to June 26, 2015; • NII Holdings amended and restated its Bylaws and filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Company to issue up to 140,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share; • NII Holdings issued 99,999,992 shares of new common stock, with a per share value of $20.68 , and distributed cash of $776.3 million to the holders of claims and service providers in comprehensive settlement of numerous integrated claims and disputes approved by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization; • In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, all of the obligations of the Debtors with respect to the following indebtedness were canceled: • $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due 2019 issued by NIIT pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 23, 2013, among NIIT (as issuer), the Company (as guarantor), and Wilmington Trust National Association (as trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; • $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.375% senior notes due 2019 issued by NIIT pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 19, 2013, among NIIT (as issuer), the Company (as guarantor), and Wilmington Trust National Association (as trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; • $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior notes due 2021 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 29, 2011, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; • $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2019 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2009, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; and • $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% senior notes due 2016 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 18, 2009, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof. In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we were required to apply the provisions of fresh start accounting to our financial statements. Because our results of operations during the period from June 26, 2015 to June 30, 2015 were not material, we applied fresh start accounting to our consolidated financial statements as of the close of business on June 30, 2015. Under the principles of fresh start accounting, a new reporting entity is considered to be created, and as a result, we allocated the reorganization value of NII Holdings as of June 30, 2015 to our individual assets based on their estimated fair values at the date we applied fresh start accounting. The components of our reorganization items were as follows (in thousands): Successor Company Predecessor Company Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ — $ — $ 1,775,787 $ 1,775,787 Net gain on fresh start fair value adjustments — — 261,772 261,772 Reorganization-related professional fees and other costs (223 ) (598 ) (67,076 ) (80,685 ) Total reorganization items $ (223 ) $ (598 ) $ 1,970,483 $ 1,956,874

Restricted Cash. As of June 30, 2016, $173.4 million of our restricted cash was classified as prepaid expenses and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the remainder was classified as other assets. As of December 31, 2015, almost all of our restricted cash was classified as other assets in our consolidated balance sheet.

See Note 4 for more information. Other than the cancellation of this promissory note in the first quarter of 2016, we did not have any significant non-cash investing or financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had the following non-cash investing and financing activities: • $2,067.7 million in Successor Company common stock that we issued in partial satisfaction of certain claims that were settled in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 (see Note 2 for more information); and • a $187.5 million increase in restricted cash, which represented cash placed in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations in connection with the sale of Nextel Mexico (see Note 4 for more information). Revenue-Based Taxes. We record certain revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes on a gross basis as a component of both service and other revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $11.5 million and $25.3 million , respectively, in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $18.7 million and $39.0 million , respectively, in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share. As presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during those periods and does not include other potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the potential exercise of stock options under our stock-based employee compensation plans or restricted common shares issued under those plans since their effect would have been antidilutive. As presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share includes 0.2 million and 0.3 million restricted common shares, respectively, but does not include any other potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the potential exercise of stock options issued under our stock-based compensation plans since their effect would have been antidilutive. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not include 3.6 million stock options in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not include 0.8 million and 0.9 million restricted common shares, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not include 4.1 million and 4.8 million stock options, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations Sale of Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L.U. and NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L.U., both of which are indirect subsidiaries of NII Holdings, entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million , of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allowed Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. We received the remaining cash consideration in October 2015, including $6.0 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. On January 27, 2016, the agreement was amended to permit Grupo Clarin or any of it affiliates to exercise the right to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest prior to receiving regulatory approval, and Grupo Clarin and its affiliates immediately acquired the remaining 51% of Nextel Argentina for no additional proceeds. Sale of Nextel Mexico. On April 30, 2015, we, together with our wholly-owned subsidiary NIU Holdings LLC, completed the sale of our Mexican operations to New Cingular Wireless, an indirect subsidiary of AT&T. The transaction was structured as a sale of all of the outstanding stock of the parent company of Comunicaciones Nextel de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., or Nextel Mexico, for a purchase price of $1.875 billion , including $187.5 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. The net proceeds from this sale were $1.448 billion after deducting Nextel Mexico's outstanding indebtedness and applying other specified price adjustments. As of June 30, 2016, we paid $4.2 million out of escrow to settle an indemnification claim, and in exchange, New Cingular Wireless released $16.0 million of the escrow to us, and agreed to release an additional $4.0 million by October 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, $167.4 million remained in escrow. Unless there are any additional indemnification claims filed, the remaining amount in escrow is scheduled to be released to us on April 30, 2017. Sale of Nextel Chile. In August 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiaries NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L., NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L. and NII International Telecom S.C.A. completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextel Chile, S.A., or Nextel Chile, to Fucata, S.A., a venture comprised of Grupo Veintitres and Optimum Advisors, for a de minimus amount. Sale of Nextel Peru. In August 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiaries NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L. and NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L., completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextel del Peru, S.A., or Nextel Peru, to Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. and one of its subsidiaries, Entel Inversiones, S.A., which we refer to collectively as Entel. Entel has provided notice of potential claims for amounts greater than the $34.4 million that remained in escrow as of June 30, 2016 to satisfy these claims. We believe that the requirements for payment of certain indemnification claims have not been met at this time, and we intend to vigorously contest these claims. As of June 30, 2016, we accrued $10.0 million related to the potential settlement of these claims. The time period for additional claims against the amount held in escrow lapsed in February 2015. In connection with the sales of Nextel Argentina and Nextel Mexico, we have reported the results of these operating companies as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, we reclassified Nextel Argentina's and Nextel Mexico's results of operations for all periods presented to reflect these former operating companies as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts included in these notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts attributable to discontinued operations. The major components of loss from discontinued operations related to Nextel Argentina and Nextel Mexico were as follows (in thousands): Successor Company Predecessor Company Successor Company Predecessor Company Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Operating revenues $ — $ 198,577 $ — $ 599,038 Operating expenses — (218,661 ) — (675,245 ) Other expense, net — (18,130 ) — (49,974 ) Loss before income tax provision — (38,214 ) — (126,181 ) Income tax provision — (7,858 ) — (8,065 ) — (46,072 ) — (134,246 ) (Loss) income on sales of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico, Nextel Chile and Nextel Peru (5,075 ) 358,296 (8,856 ) 355,360 (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ (5,075 ) $ 312,224 $ (8,856 ) $ 221,114

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges	Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges Asset Impairments. During the second quarter of 2016, we reviewed our Nextel Brazil segment for potential impairment using a probability-weighted cash flow analysis. While we are focused on effectively managing our business in Brazil, we are also considering potential strategic alternatives with third parties. Our estimation of undiscounted future cash flows was partially based on assumptions that we will be able to fund our business plan and that it is not probable that our Nextel Brazil segment will be disposed of. Based on our current estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we determined that the carrying value of our Nextel Brazil segment is recoverable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Nextel Brazil recognized $7.3 million and $8.2 million , in non-cash impairment charges, respectively, primarily related to the abandonment of certain transmitter and receiver sites that are no longer required in its business. Similarly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil recognized $23.6 million and $27.8 million in non-cash asset impairment charges, respectively, the majority of which related to the abandonment of certain transmitter and receiver sites that are no longer required in its business. Restructuring Charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $1.3 million and $3.0 million , respectively, in severance and other related costs at the corporate level as a result of the separation of employees in an effort to streamline our organizational structure and reduce general and administrative expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Nextel Brazil recognized $2.0 million and $5.3 million in restructuring charges primarily related to future lease costs for certain transmitter and receiver sites that are no longer required in its business and certain office closures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $5.4 million in severance and other related costs at the corporate level for both periods as a result of the separation of employees in an effort to streamline our organizational structure and reduce general and administrative expenses. Total impairment, restructuring and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands): Successor Company Predecessor Company Successor Company Predecessor Company Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Brazil $ 9,244 $ 22,418 $ 13,509 $ 28,072 Corporate 1,313 7,078 2,963 8,720 Total impairment, restructuring and other charges $ 10,557 $ 29,496 $ 16,472 $ 36,792 As of June 30, 2016, total accrued restructuring charges were as follows (in thousands): Balance, December 31, 2015 — Successor Company $ 16,859 Restructuring charges 8,250 Cash payments (13,026 ) Balance, June 30, 2016 — Successor Company $ 12,083

Debt

Debt [Abstract]
Debt	Debt As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we remeasured the components of our debt to their fair values as of June 30, 2015. As a result, the carrying values of our bank loans and equipment financing facility do not represent their respective outstanding principal balances. The components of our debt are as follows: Successor Company June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (in thousands) Brazil equipment financing facility $ 315,733 $ 339,850 Brazil bank loans 286,953 240,396 Brazil capital lease and tower financing obligations 102,841 84,295 Other 556 526 Total debt 706,083 665,067 Less: current portion (606,913 ) (582,420 ) $ 99,170 $ 82,647 Brazil Bank Loans. In connection with the agreements governing Nextel Brazil's local bank loans, we are required to meet a net debt financial covenant semiannually. In August 2016, Nextel Brazil secured waivers from the lenders of its local bank loans related to this financial covenant for the June 30, 2016 measurement date. The next measurement date for this financial covenant will be December 31, 2016, at which point Nextel Brazil must maintain a net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, ratio over the trailing 12 months of no greater than 3.5 . Starting on June 30, 2017, and on each six-month anniversary thereafter, Nextel Brazil must maintain a net debt to EBITDA ratio of no greater than 2.5 . Based on our current outlook, which reflects significant uncertainly about the economic and competitive conditions in Brazil that are currently impacting our ability to increase our revenues and generate profitability, we believe it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements as of the December 31, 2016 measurement date. If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these loan arrangements or secure additional waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default under these local bank loans occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements. As a result of this uncertainty, we have continued to classify the amounts outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we had $280.7 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans. Brazil Equipment Financing Facility. In December 2014, Nextel Brazil and the lender under its equipment financing facility agreed to amend this facility to remove all financial covenants beginning with the December 31, 2014 measurement date through the June 30, 2017 measurement date so that the first measurement date under the amended facility will be December 31, 2017. Because of the uncertainty regarding our ability to meet the financial covenant contained in Nextel Brazil's local bank loans discussed above and certain cross-default provisions that are included in the loan agreement under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility, we have continued to classify the amount outstanding under this facility as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we had $318.0 million in principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility. We do not have the ability to borrow additional amounts under this facility.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. In connection with the initial agreement, we issued a non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $85.0 million and pledged the remaining 51% of the equity interests in Nextel Argentina to Grupo Clarin. As of December 31, 2015, we recorded our retained 51% interest in Nextel Argentina as an equity method investment under the fair value option, which was included as a component of other assets in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015, we estimated the fair value of this investment to be $108.1 million . In addition, as of December 31, 2015, we recorded the non-recourse promissory note as a component of other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value of $108.1 million . This fair value estimate was based on the $178.0 million purchase price paid by Grupo Clarin, as adjusted for changes in excess cash from September 11, 2015 through December 31, 2015. On January 27, 2016, the agreement was amended to permit Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to exercise the right to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest prior to receiving regulatory approval, and Grupo Clarin and its affiliate immediately acquired the remaining 51% of Nextel Argentina for no additional proceeds. In connection with the completion of this transaction, the promissory note was canceled on January 27, 2016. Financial Instruments. Available-for-Sale Securities. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , available-for-sale securities held by Nextel Brazil included $77.9 million and $56.2 million , respectively, in investment funds and $13.4 million and $9.3 million , respectively, in certificates of deposit with a Brazilian bank. These funds invest primarily in Brazilian government bonds, long-term, low-risk bank certificates of deposit and Brazilian corporate debentures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any material unrealized gains or losses associated with these investments. We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value. The fair value of our Brazilian certificates of deposit is based on their current redemption amount, and we classify these certificates of deposit within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of Nextel Brazil's investment funds is measured based on the funds' net asset value as a practical expedient, which is excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Held-to-Maturity Investments. We periodically invest some of our cash holdings in certain securities that we intend to hold to maturity. As of December 31, 2015, held-to-maturity investments included $18.1 million in short-term investments held by NIIT in U.S. treasury notes. We account for held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value observed in the market. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of our held-to-maturity investments was $18.0 million . These securities matured in February 2016. Debt Instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our debt instruments are as follows: Successor Company June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Principal Amount Outstanding Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Principal Amount Outstanding Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value (in thousands) Brazil equipment financing $ 318,012 $ 315,733 $ 315,063 $ 342,475 $ 339,850 $ 340,189 Brazil bank loans and other 281,210 287,509 297,077 234,320 240,922 229,366 $ 599,222 $ 603,242 $ 612,140 $ 576,795 $ 580,772 $ 569,555 Bank loans and other consists primarily of loans with certain banks in Brazil. We estimated the fair value of these bank loans, as well as the fair value of our equipment financing facility in Brazil, utilizing inputs such as U.S. Treasury security yield curves, prices of comparable bonds, LIBOR, U.S. Treasury bond rates and credit spreads on comparable publicly traded bonds. We consider both Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility and its bank loans and other to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Derivative Instruments. We occasionally enter into derivative transactions for risk management purposes. We have not and will not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or profit generating purposes. We record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Nextel Brazil had an immaterial amount of derivative instruments that were classified as short-term investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We consider this measurement to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Nextel Brazil entered into foreign currency option agreements to manage the foreign currency exposures associated with the forecasted purchase of handsets and other U.S. dollar-denominated payments. We do not apply hedge accounting to these derivative instruments. As a result, we have included all changes in the fair value of these instruments as a component of other (expense) income, net in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The gains and losses resulting from the changes in the estimated fair value of Nextel Brazil's derivative instruments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were not material. Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable contained in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Handset, Equipment and Other Commitments. We are a party to purchase agreements with various suppliers under which we have committed to purchase handsets, equipment and network services that will be used or sold in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2016, we are committed to purchase $190.3 million under a handset purchase agreement with one of our handset suppliers by September 30, 2016. We do not expect that we will purchase all of the committed devices, but we have not recorded a liability for this contract because we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a loss under this handset purchase agreement. Brazil Spectrum Commitment. In December 2015, Nextel Brazil participated in a spectrum auction and was the successful bidder for 30 megahertz, or MHz, of spectrum in the 1.8 gigahertz, or GHz, band for 455.0 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $116.7 million based on foreign currency exchange rates at the time. Nextel Brazil received the license agreement on February 16, 2016. In July 2016, Nextel Brazil paid 45.5 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $14.0 million based on foreign currency exchange rates at the time, in connection with the signing of this license agreement. Under the terms of the license agreement, interest is due annually beginning in December 2016, and the remaining 409.5 million Brazilian reais is due in annual installments, beginning in December 2018. If we elect to pay the full amount of the remaining 409.5 million Brazilian reais by December 9, 2016, the Brazilian telecommunciations regulator will waive the first year of interest payments. Contingencies. Nextel Brazil has received various assessment notices from state and federal Brazilian authorities asserting deficiencies in payments related primarily to value-added taxes, excise taxes on imported equipment and other non-income based taxes. Nextel Brazil has filed various administrative and legal petitions disputing these assessments. In some cases, Nextel Brazil has received favorable decisions, which are currently being appealed by the respective governmental authority. In other cases, Nextel Brazil's petitions have been denied, and Nextel Brazil is currently appealing those decisions. Nextel Brazil also had contingencies related to certain regulatory, civil and labor-related matters as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , Nextel Brazil had accrued liabilities of $67.3 million and $57.7 million , respectively, related to contingencies, of which $5.2 million and $5.4 million related to unasserted claims, respectively. We currently estimate the reasonably possible losses related to matters for which Nextel Brazil has not accrued liabilities, as they are not deemed probable, to be approximately $440.0 million as of June 30, 2016 . We continue to evaluate the likelihood of probable and reasonably possible losses, if any, related to all known contingencies. As a result, future increases or decreases to our accrued liabilities may be necessary and will be recorded in the period when such amounts are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, we estimated the reasonably possible losses related to potential indemnification claims in connection with the sales of Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru for which we have not accrued liabilities, as they are not deemed probable, to be approximately $35.0 million . Legal Proceedings. We are subject to claims and legal actions that may arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions will have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income sufficient to realize our tax loss carryforwards and other tax deductions. Valuation allowances are required to be recognized on deferred tax assets unless it is determined that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset will be realized. In 2015, w e recorded full valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets of our foreign operating companies, our U.S. parent company and subsidiaries and our foreign holding companies due to substantial negative evidence such as the recent history of cumulative losses and the projected losses for 2016 and subsequent years. We maintained this same valuation allowance position through the first half of 2016 .

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In May 2016, Nextel Brazil entered into an amendment to a nationwide roaming voice and data services agreement with Telefonica Brazil S.A., or Telefonica, to reduce the usage rates for roaming traffic. Concurrently, Nextel Brazil entered into a 10-year radio access network, or RAN, sharing agreement with Telefonica under which Telefonica will permit Nextel Brazil to use its tower and equipment infrastructure to transmit telecommunications signals on Nextel Brazil's spectrum. These agreements require Nextel Brazil to meet certain minimum annual commitments over a five-year period totaling 800 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $246.2 million based on foreign currency exchange rates at the time, which replaced the remaining commitments under the original roaming agreement. Nextel Brazil is required to prepay 250 million Brazilian reais shortly after the agreements become effective with receipt of regulatory approvals, which occurred in early August 2016. We expect to allocate the aggregate minimum payments on a relative fair value basis to the services being received and recognize these payments as operating expenses on a ratable basis over a period of five years for the amended roaming agreement and eight years for the RAN sharing agreement. We are also evaluating other potential accounting implications that may result from Nextel Brazil's entry into these agreements. In order to reduce future operating expenses, we expect to cease the use of a significant number of our transmitter and receiver sites as a result of the RAN sharing agreement, which would result in material impairment and restructuring charges. In August 2016, we received approximately $39.7 million of cash in connection with the release of performance bonds relating to our obligations to deploy spectrum in Brazil.

Revenue-Based Taxes	Revenue-Based Taxes. We record certain revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes on a gross basis as a component of both service and other revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $11.5 million and $25.3 million , respectively, in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $18.7 million and $39.0 million , respectively, in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively.
Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share	Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share. As presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during those periods and does not include other potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the potential exercise of stock options under our stock-based employee compensation plans or restricted common shares issued under those plans since their effect would have been antidilutive. As presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share includes 0.2 million and 0.3 million restricted common shares, respectively, but does not include any other potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the potential exercise of stock options issued under our stock-based compensation plans since their effect would have been antidilutive. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not include 3.6 million stock options in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not include 0.8 million and 0.9 million restricted common shares, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not include 4.1 million and 4.8 million stock options, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
