Does anyone have information on when a Nextel customer will be able to buy a Sprint PCS phone without having to pay the $200 cancellation penalty with Nextel??

Hi i wondering if everyone who has Nextel can give me there opinion on Nextel's coverage. My dad is thinking about switching because he wants the push to talk service. If you can help me out, Thanks

Could anybody tell me of a website or any type of online resource where I could find the history of Nextel Comm.? If you could I'd appreciate it greatly! Thanks in advance! 😁

Hello, I am doing a project for a class, picking the best and worst cell phone service providers (that are offered in my area) and I need to collect information via a survey from cell phone users about the services that they have received from their respective carriers. So I figured what better place to post then here at phonescoop.com. If you would like to help me with my project here is what I need:

Name of carrier:
Rate Carrier (1 good - 10 bad):
What you liked:
What you didn’t:
What phone did (do) you have (be as specific as possible):
How did CS treat you?:
How long were (have) you (been) with them:
Then just your comments:

At the end just an area code (for classification purposes only):

Just copy and paste the above and...

why does all nextel phones have bad battery life? my audiovox 8610 has like 7 days on standby, but these phones have like 3 days!!!

i have the 730 and last night i put it in the washer by mistake (left it in my pants pocket) i dont have phone insurance so i know that i will have to pay full price for a new one, but what im wondering is is that is there any other way to get around paying for a new phone or do they have used phones that i can buy for a cheaper price? or should i just pay it? i have a gov acct and ive had the 730 for about 5-6 months.

Thanks!

I tried the GPS option on my phone and all it says is "scanning for satalite" i waited and nothing happened. Do i have to pay for the service in order for the gps to work??

This may be a little off base, but does anyone know at what cost Nextel offers service to people with less than perfect credit? I am with T-Mobile now, and their phone selection is thin and reception in my area is covered much better by Nextel. I am still working to clean up my credit after someone stole my wallet and ran up my cards in a day.

Does anybody know for sure id nextel and sprint are merging or is it just consideration.

is it possible to swap sims from a 730 to i90c??
thanks in advance

would it be wise to join Nextel now? Should I wait?

If not, I was thinking about getting the i860 or the i830/i833. Which one is best?

Thanks!

Hey can anyone mod my i860 so when it rings it will flash / light up. Thanks. Anyway1 wanna give me detailed instructions how to do this. Thanks. Howardforums isnt being that helpful today.

The i605 is Motorola's first iDEN phone with Bluetooth. It has a huge display, but it otherwise similar to other bar-style iDEN phones. The i605 is expected in the second quarter.


The i930 is Motorola's new ultra-high-end iDEN phone. It's a really ambitious model, with dual color displays, a camera, Windows Mobile, GSM, infrared, and an SD card slot. It might be a bit too ambitious, though... It's been in the rumor mill for about a year and a half now, and according to Moto, it still won't be out until the second half of 2005.

can i put a 32mg sim from i730 in a blackberry 7250?

I have been with nextel for 4 years ( have an i730 now) and am itching to buy a PDA phone - the blackberry looks embarrassing compared to some of the PDA other carriers have.
My local store owner told me he heard through the grapevine that a decent PDA is coming out.(he knows no more than that!)
I maybe forced to change providers if nothing happens soon!
Please anyone & everyone reply with ANY info you have ie. features, date of release etc.
Appreciate.

Does anybody know of a place where I can buy an unlocked CDMA phones. There are always so many websites and indirect dealers that sell unreleased and unlocked GSM phones, but where can I get CDMA phones??? Let me know if you know of anything....please!!!

Technology Winners & Losers
The Sprint-Nextel merger raises questions about the future of Flarion's Flash-OFDM, WiMAX and even CDMA.

Apart from the obvious issues related to the integration of two disparate networks, the Sprint Nextel merger has longer-term technology implications, especially related to emerging wireless broadband solutions.

The two networks will continue along their separate paths for the time being – Sprint pushing ahead with its CDMA2000 1XEV-DO upgrade in 2005 and 2006, and Nextel Communication...

Hey all,

I am planning to get a Boost Mobile Phone. Boost Mobile charges 25c per minute, and they round it up per minute..

My question is, if I talk on the phone once for 20 seconds, and then I talk on the phone again for 30 seconds.. (50 seconds total) .. does this mean I get charged 50cents or 25cents?

I didn't quite understand what they said about the rounding up part, can anyone confirm this if anyone understands what I'm saying.

Basically, is it $25 cents for each call no matter what or can I still continue on from my previous minutes or whatever..

Thanks
