I can't help people out with cell phones anymore. :( I left T-Mobile. I had to turn in my employee phone and if wanted to get another T-Mobile account for personal service I had to go like a week with no cell phone so I bought Sprint. I wish I would have waited the week for a personal T-Mobile phone. Sprint is TERRIBLE this phone doesnt work anywhere.
Also, I had promised people who had switched credits. I need to know if you guys got your credits or not. If not PM me your phone number so I can shoot an email to my old boss and she'll get stuff taken care of.

This is one of those "a friend told me" but he said that nextel is haveing problems with some of the flip style phones not recognising the closest tower and trying to connect with the next closest. I kinda think it is bull but some of us have flips and otheres have thew standard, and the stadards do seem to have much better reception.
Anyone else hear anything like this? I am kinda haveing a hard time believeing it...

Put the Nextel phone on a fence post and blow it away with a 45.
Then don't pay the bill. That should work.:D

My old employer did not either so they bought an Authorised dealer and sold all the plans to themselves.
Reception sucks in the midwest to.

Can't beat the rate plans? Have you shopped for cell plans since 1982? Nextel has the most expensive rate plans in the industry. They pride themselves on it too!! If you can live without the two radio Nextel is not the best solution for anyone.
The reason a flip phone and a standard phone have a difference in signals is due to the antenna. Most standard non flip phones use a half wave antenna. A Flip phone however does not have the room for a half wave antenna so they often use a 1/4 wave and in some cases even smaller antenna. Less antenna means less signal.
