LifeNRA Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 The wife an I just got two new phones with Nextel. I like the two-way so far. Keeps conversations short and sweet! With the wife anyways! LMBO!!!! We have good service here with plenty of towers. Also got the unlimited nation wide dirrect connect so its free no matter where I go. Anybody else use Nextel? If so, what are your likes and dis-likes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! I used to have Nextel when I was in construction. My main dislike was that the boss had constant contact with me even though I was at home. No, no more leash for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvDog Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! We've been with Nextel for 8 or 9 years. We love the direct connect feature. Only dislikes are the coverage areas (which hopefully will get better with Sprint) and the sizes of the phones (but those have gotten better over the years).

unioncountyslayer Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! Ever since Sprint took over I've had nothing but problems. Just hang on and you'll see what I'm talking about. I've gone a whole day without service and not being able to retrieve voicemail. If I didn't need the 2-way feature for my business I'd throw my Nextel as far as I could and never think twice about it! Ok, deap breath, I'm done.

Guest outdoorgirl Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! We have Verizon wireless push to talk and can't wait till the contract is up so we can switch networks....verizon stinks...we use it for business and pleasure and were not happy with service....seems like it's hard to get a good signal.

My entire family was on Verizon then slowly moved to Nextel. I knew it was a matter of time before I done the same. I know Verizon has push to talk two-way. But its not the same as Nextel. My area has great service for Nextel, I drove 30 miles to work last night and never missed a beat talking to my buddy that has it too. As far as having problems, every service sooner or later will expirence some kind of downtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! We have great service here, I love it because I can be in the woods, on the golf course, or on the river and still be working. You can't beat that. The shop can get ahold of me for any questions, the boss can reach me if needed, and my contractors have access to me where ever I'm at.

Newarcher Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! Just be sure to turn that annoying danged beep up as loud as you can along with the speaker volume and then go into the nicest restaurant you can find and have a nice long conversation with some foul mouthed idiot on the other end...... That seems to be the prevailing trend around here with those darned things. But I do know they are good for business. Keep it to yourself in public places and I won't have to use my cell phone jammer! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Nextel Is Cool! We have Southern Linc down here. I love it. Only problems I would say is the coverage area. Almost 99% of my friends and family have one too, so I rarely have to use the cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
