Hello all
Funny how we all speak about nextel.. Love or hate them.
Like to say this. We tryed them all at this point in FL market.
1 ATT GSM is very poor down here in south fl and my friends are very
unhappy with them. My good budy was in LA and Drop calls big time
2 Cingular Now is down hill with there GSM.Just gave back 12 V600
3 Verizon is real poor down here, REASON there using the old Primco
System. On the other hand Verizon is good in NY
4 We use Sprint and Nextel for our Company There are good days and bad
Days. I don't Think you will find a cell company with 100% great
service
