Re: Nextel Phones
I switched over to the sprint cell service with nextel radio...cell service is better then nextel and yes, I still use my radio daily...quick questions with the guys are easier to beep them then calling them

Re: Nextel Phones
Had NEXTEL in 1995. Atlanta was a "test market". The phones were huge. The sound was like a tin-can. The prices were estupido!
Let go of NEXTHELL in 2006. Been with AT&T since. No complaints!!!

Re: Nextel Phones
But out of all the PTT's, Nextels is the best and fastest, if you use it, there's is the best, cell service is horrible

Re: Nextel Phones
I actually have the sprint side of nextel and they have a sprint version of the direct connect. I will try out the phones and see how they work. I have never had a issue with my sprint service. It has worked everywhere I have been

Re: Nextel Phones
Absolutely not.
Had Nextel for about 8 years. There service became unbearable. Many times I wanted to throw the phone off the George Washington Bridge. Whenever I hear someones Fu^&#n Nextel chirp i want to puke. Verizon makes my life easier. |

Re: Nextel Phones
My old boss gave all the employees Nextel and mostly we all hated them. The beep was annoying and a lot of peole ignored them. To me it's like text messaging....99% of the time, I prefer to talk on a phone of leave a VM. Cell sevice was like a cheap walky talky.

Re: Nextel Phones
I love my nextel. I use it all the time when we are wire fishing from an attic to a basement, or when we are in different parts of the job site. We also use it in the stores when we need to know where everyone is. My Dad has a nextel to and he direct connects me all the time to ask me random questions that are too unimportant to make a phone call for.

Re: Nextel Phones
Had Nextel for many years. Hated it. I could talk to someone 1000 miles away but it could not find the business on the other side of town.
I got tired of hearing how people could not get ahold of me. |

Re: Nextel Phones
One of my buddies is a sheriffs deputy and got Nextel solely because it was the only service that would work at the jail where he worked. He found out that yeah it worked at the jail, but didn't work anywhere else. He said it sucked. He ended up canceling and getting Verizon. I've had Cingular/AT&T for the past 10 years and the service works great for me. I had Sprint before that I had so many billing problems that I canceled. I was on the phone with them so many times to get them to correct their mistakes. I won't ever go back even though it's a little cheaper than AT&T.

Re: Nextel Phones
Just switched to AT&T after 10 years. Service was good initially, but has declined over the years. Most of the people that I used PTT with have also switched, so that feature became less attractive. I have to say, I don't miss that "beep".

Re: Nextel Phones
We still use Nextel company phones Pretty good coverage here, any time the Nextel has no service my personal Verizon seems to work and it works the same when the Verizon is low the Nextel seems to be fine ??

Re: Nextel Phones
Chalk me up as another guy going from Nextel to regular Sprint for the better plan and better phone.
