Quick question. What is that # that goes straight to Nextel voicemail.
(areacode)-something-MAIL, right?

In some areas you could/can dial (area code)-xxx-MAIL, where xxx is
the first three digits of a local Nextel number.

I understand that, xxx-MAIL has been or will be phased out. The
number portability issues make it impractical for Nextel to own
every xxx-MAIL number in every area code.

Also try xxx-PAGE (xxx = any local Nextel prefix), which is for
numeric paging. Follow the prompts. May not work in all markets.
