Anyone with a datacable can do this for you. Many/most dealers likely
can as well, although they may charge a fee.

Don't they have a DC-only plan? Or is that solely for business accounts?

Nextel ditched the DC-only plan. I wanted it for my business but it's not
available. Don't get my old boss started on this topic; he has about a
dozen nextel phones and for 8 yrs he had DC-only plans but now they all come
w/phone minutes. You can have nextel set up the account for DC-only but
you'll still be paying for the minutes that you aren't using.

They did, but now they have it back again.

I called 2 weeks ago to drop a phone from my account and they did everything
to try and keep it active. "Can we switch you to a lower monthly rate? Can
you give the phone to a friend who will keep it active?" No, no. But then
they asked if I would be interested in a DC only plan. I told them I thought
you got rid of that (because I had an older phone with that plan and ended up
getting rid of it) and they said they did, but brought it back due to numerous
requests for it. I believe it was $29/month for a limited amount of minutes
or $39 unlimited. Not including national DC.

The older origianl DC only plan was cheaper than this - something like
$20/month.

Interesting, thx for the info.

do you know if they still allow "911" access on those units? I'd guess
yes, but I just got off the phone with a nextel rep who didn't know.

thanks

Grab a copy of Companion Pro, connect to the phone, and lock the ability
to manually phone numbers.

Federal law says all cell phones must be able to call 911 even if they are not
subscribed to any service.

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nextel (More info?)

About a year ago it was $15/month + $.20 for each DC min. with no
included time. I think you could also make cellular calls at some
very high rate but I don't recall for sure.

This was for a personal account; business accounts may be less costly.

I hate to use the following phrase, because one of our local loons (he's
friendly, but he's a loon) sleeps with it on his pillow, but this may be
one of those cases where the fact that "nextel is not a cellular service"
may be relevant. I dunno...

Just like, for example, the radios used by East Cupcake Bar and Grill do
NOT have any "911" access.

I'd guess that all Nextel radios with a keypad [a] have 911 access, but
I'm still waiting to hear from them.

[a] they had some that were pure "direct connect" and only gave you push
to talk within your own company's Nextel circle. I haven't seen any
recently.
