For example we get 5% with nextel and 18% with sprint.
20% vzw
17% cingular
it would be nice to get the 18% with nextel

well, as of right now, the billing systems are differnt and that means the billing, activating phones, transfering phones and other features are different. discounts with nextel arent usually that great but sprint and others seem to be better. i would say when they combine their billing systems which should be within a few years, (probably 1) is when we will see discounts increase for nextel. it is tough to see whether or not they will increase their discounts for coporate and it is easier once the billing systems are combined.

well people pay for sprint service too, as you would remember sprint has the 2nd highiest arpu to nextel. so that theory that you just stated doesnt make too much sense.

nextel could offer the same discounts, but i guess they choose not to for a reason.. (i didnt ask why)

Many national account discounts are being evaluated and iDEN/CDMA discounts will be standardized. Depends on what discount you purchase under and when it will be updated.
