The best thing since Sliced Bread.........As long as you enjoyed your Sliced Bread within the Operating Area and did not travel much.

Reliable. Simple. Well Maintained.

I don't have them, so I cannot vouch for the service itself, but I do know they've been opening up in every metro area now, and spreading further. I've also seen there advertising now for unlimited service that is about 1/4th the cost of everyone else. I was going to get one, but unfortunately I need the direct connect feature from Nextel for work.

Nextel no longer monopolizes the concept.

what they (ATT/VZN/etc) should do is license the same common network, or find some other way to inter-operate together.

Yes "By 2010" they say. Should be completely compatible.

They are trying to phase it out completely.
