Nextel and Sprint PCS

[Muzikman]

I have had Sprint for about the last 7 or so years and have been very happy with them. Nextel on the other hand, my father and my uncles business use to use Nextel. They have to have the worst network besides Cricket. My father was sitting inside 3 Rivers stadium in downtown Pittsburgh. I tried to call him and I kept getting that damn "Please wait while the nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is loacted" or what ever the hell that damn female voice says.
But I do see this as a good move if it does work. Nextel has money, Sprint seems to have the technology and network.

Well ya kinda have it backasswards... You're right when you say Nextel has money, they do have lots of it. It's not Nextels network that is poor, it's Nextels coverage area and lack of cell towers. iDEN is a superior network to the other networks used by other providers. If Nextel could put up as many towers as Verizon, Sprint, Cingular, etc. The choice for cellular service for anyone would be very clear considering Nextels rate plans are better than everyones. I only know of one provider you can talk 5000 minutes a month and only pay $60, Nextel all the way

ACTUALLY: When it comes to politics all of europe IS wrong. But meh....I like GSM, I guess that's because USCC is cdma and they were a headache and a half. I predict with their current customer support they will be gone in less then 5 years. I haven't talked with a cingle person that likes them in my area.

Exactly.. What people don't realize.. Nextel is an entirely digital network.. Unlike every other carrier, we don't have an analog fallback. If you were to pit digital coverage vs digital coverage, i'm sure opinions would change a bit but we just haven't been around as long as the others.

Actually I want a Nextel for one reason really, all of my friends have Nextels and so when I am in school I can beep them and get their phones taken away .

Nextel is the only phone to get service on the tug hil plateau around here. My verizion doesnt, and Ive never seen anyone talking on a non nextel cellphone in the bars during snowmobile season.

Hmph. Love hate relationship.
