as i told ya on AIM...VERIZON all the way man.......and if not that nextel

also......where is a good place to get a smokin deal on cell phones and related stuff???
brian

I would have to say verizon is probably the best all around. Although Nextel is the best but nextel's problem is there customer service sucks the big one and they are partially owned by the govt. or something like that so go figure why there customer service sucks.

here here... i'm with Verizon

their actual coverage is great, people I know with other providers have trouble getting a signal sometimes. i have that digital plan where 99.99% of the populated places you'll ever be are your home calling area, and i dont pay long distance... its like 40 bucks a month for 300/4000 or something like that.

are you serious??? Nextel's customer service has always been awesome for me

I have Nextel and the i90c
they just started a new offer thats got a total of 5000 minutes, check out http://www.nextel.com for the info on that as well as phone prices.

I love nextel although their service can have random dead spots, you really can't beat the convenience of the 2-way feature. I would suggest nextel to anyone who is looking for a new phone.

oh yeah and stay the hell away from sprint pcs, they suck so much its not even funny

thanks a lot guys. i think ill prolly hit verizon, since the only people i know on nextel are jay and my bro, lol. ive been checking out the actual phones, and they all seem pretty damn cool, so thats not a huge concern for me. at any rate, thanks for all the help, anymore is more than welcome!!

I use a Nextel i1000 plus. While you definately get some dead spots, the Nextel two way radio is great. My brother and my friend Jack both have Nextels, and when we go out cruising, it's nice to have instant info on where cops are and where the action is. Doesn't use up your cell minutes either.

T-Mobile/VoiceStream sux... way to many dead zones and dropped calls. I plan to switch to Verizon when my contract is up in February.

thats what 2-way radios are for man..dont need that option on a cell phone...they only cost like $20-$30 and are well worth it, PLUS i know alot more people with 2-ways then nextels:cool:

not to mention nextals are the size of a large animal..

the convenience of cell phone and 2 way, in one cool little package (http://community.webshots.com/photo/19231349/56571743ONUssN) :p

sprint pcs.

cheap, good reception. customer service is bad though

verizon is the only cell phone compan that is not in debt. I think that says it all right there, needless to say im gettin a nextel in december, lol.

>The wife and I have a cell plan through Verizon (corporate plan) , but before we got the nation wide thing the local area for our plan was some of western Mass. almost all of Connecticut and we live in Massachusetts . Go with Verizon wireless they are the biggest communication company (or will be) .
pick the plan that best suits your needs (usually 300 daytime and unlimited weekends/holidays) .

thanks guys, im definitely going with verizon! now i gotta pick a damn phone!

Try using your 2-way radios from 100 miles away like I can with my Nextel. :p

BTW, how secure is a two way radio? With Nextel, it's digitally encoded. And I can use the cell phone part to call a tow truck when I frag a part!

I rep for Nextel. The best plan for the money is 54.99 1000 minutes day time unlimited mins nights and week ends. plus umlimited mins two way direct connect. Or the other best plan is 39.99 which has half the day time minutes of 500. buying any plan gets you a free cell phone the i30. or i could sell you the i60 for 25 or the i90 for 150. Come on down to the Arsenal mall in Watertown and ask for Derek.

thanks man, ill keep that in mind if i decide to go nextel.
