Why is Nextel better than a cell phone?

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

depends on what you are looking for. Their rate plans are competetive
with other carriers and there phones are a little behind the times but
still very nice. if you know people with direct connect it is very
nice, i find my self using this more eash month. They are also the
only carrier to offer unlimited incoming calls which i find to be very
cost effetive for me.

For the most part, Nextel phones are behind the times in terms of features,
and are on the pricey side as well. No free phones with
Nextel either. The free incoming has got to be the sweetest deal out there.
I have the Nextel National Free Incoming Plus 800, whjich also gives
unlimited web and text messaging. I use the phone for business purposes
also, but I average 4000 incoming min per month. It all depends on what you
want out of the phone and service

Free phones are easy to come by for a new Nextel customer. Just check
out Amazon or LetsTalk.com.

Most independent Nextel dealers will give you the i205 free on an
activation. Maybe only on a 2 year activation. Depends on the
dealer.

the point is that you can find plenty of places with good prices on
phones when you are signing up for new service with nextel.

Well thanks for the info and help guys

Bottom line ..it sounds like Nextel is not for me

LetsTalk has good prices but they lie about the shipping time quite often.
They were good a year ago but they are rated very low on customer
satisfation today, mostly because of bad customer service and stating they
ship within 24 hours of your order and so far after broken promises I am
still waiting on mine after 8 days of being approved for my second phone
from them in 1 year.

there is a site called something like http://free-flip-cell-phones.com/ that
have the i860 camera phone for free after all of the rebates. I have no
experience with them yet though.

I will never go back to LetsTalk.Com after this fiasco.
Just my 2 cents after my latest experience.
