Plans
I am having some issues with nextel... i have the Local instant connect for 39.99 with a 10% govt discount so 34.99. i have the following features. internet 9.99 which includes 100 text messages 25 picture messages and unlimited use of messenger services. Also i have unlimited m2m for another $5. But thats not it... in order for a tech to look at my i850 which is Still under warranty i have to pay another 2.99... so you do the math... 39.99 + 9.99 + 5.00 + 2.99. you get 52.97.
Then you add nextels taxes and you get about 57.39. now that sould be your adv bill... even thats a bit expensive. but then lets say you send 201 text messages? then your bill gets $10.20 added to the current balance of 57.39 now thats 67.59 then add taxes to that ...

In my opinion, which is always wrong, the nickel & diming Sprint does with the $5 here and $5 there is their way of keeping the Nextel side's ARPU up...
I, too, am in the same boat, however, I opted (on two phones/one account) for two separate 300 free inc plans.
Your only other option is to migrate over to the Sprint side of the fence (unless you're in a Nextel Partners market or the government needs you to have Nextel) and choose one of their F&F plans...

If your phone has a Nextel logo on it...
With the merger they said you can switch back/forth w/o ETF, the only problem is the PTT from Sprint & Nextel are not interoperable, that's why I asked how important being with Nextel was...

its not important at all... my phone has always said NEXTEL on it... but at times when people call me it will say "please hold while the SPRINT subscriber you are trying to reach is located"
...
yea, well you are under the sprint iden (nextel) side, but it will say please hold while sprint subscriber becuase in reality you are a sprint customer under the sprint umbrella.
you are a nextel customer (legacy we say) and will always be until you either go to sprint or another carrier or stay until 2010 where iden will start to go away..

...
so are you saying that i can go to sprint with out having to pay $200 seeings how i am still kind of staying with the same company?
...
yes without paying any activation fees or anything like that... (unless you are in a nextel partners' market you dont get those options)
...
I think you have to use less than half of your monthly min on roaming when you are on the F&F plan. Otherwise I think they can turn your service off.
