Sprint/Nextel...

[Larry Gude (Premo)]

...calls me, says "Hey, how's it going?"

I say "Nextel sucks balls. Radio sucks, phone signal sucks. Just sucks."

S/N "Great, great, well, where are you? ...Ok, shows here you got a few bad spots, uh huh..."

LG "No. Sucks EVERYWHERE and everyone I know who has one."

S/N "Right, right, well, that's good because the reason I am calling is because we have a new SUPER phone that works on both the Nextel AND Sprint systems, isn't that great?"

LG "So, Sucks squared?"

S/N "No, no! In fact, we can send you these SUPER phones, normally $250, for a mere $59! Isn't that great!?"

LG "Discounted sucking? Oh yeah. Count me in! Can I get 4?"


S/N "..."

S/N "..."

LG "WELL? I'm busy hear!"


LG "Uh, well, it seems the new Super phone, regularly $250, for you only $59 is...well...not available in your area yet..."

LG "OK. So, how would I tell the difference with what I have now?"

S/N "We'll call you back when it rolls in your area! In the mean time, I am crediting your account $5 for talking with me today!"

LG "Isn't it normally $250???"

Them hybrid phones are HORRIBLE I've had nextel for years and have never had any issues with them. But the last 2 months or so, total crap! Here shortly I'm gonna suck it up, pay the early termination fee and go with Verizon

You know, I think the only reason Nextel took off so quickly (years ago) was because of their "blurps." I switched from Cingular two years ago to Verizon. Love them!

My 17 yr old has had one of those hybrid phones since they first came out....he seems to like it

When my contract was up with Nextel, I switched to Sprint....other than the 2 and a half weeks without my text messaging when I orginially switched it, I'm ok with it....the only place that I really don't have coverage is going up the hill in Clements(right before Hurry Rd)

If you want to get out of a contract with Sprint/Nextel early with no termination fee, just do what I did and call them 2 or 3 times a day and complain about their service. They'll cut you loose with no fee. I have Verizon now and love it.

Jameo,

Fight the termination fee and they will reduce it. It might mean you have to flick your biatch switch on and really complain but a phone service contract should provide a service. Why should I pay for something that provides me no service? or 1/2 ass crappy service. When I was done, I paid $20.00 to cancel my grandmother's phone service.

Larry,

I would have thought you would have better service where you live, guess not. Nextel worked fine in DC and in a good part of Virginia but down here in Southern Maryland, blah.
