Bravo .. finally someone not pinching pennies to get a bunch of minuttes
u will not be able to use ... I had cingular .. sprint .. and even
wandered over to tmobile .. but hands down Verizon has best .. customer
service and network coverage .. it may be expensive but you get what u
pay for ... and me personally i would rather have a phone that works in
97% of the areas I travel with 400 mins than a phone like tmobile where
when off there network it becomes a paperweight! (thats how they can
guarantee no rmng charges!)

I'll check, but I was told that it was 2005.

It seems to be pretty difficult to locate, for some reason. Do you have an
FCC R&O number?

If ANY of the Carriers gave out maps that accurately showed their true
coverage then customers could in fact judge on that basis.

Maps are so overly optimistic (drawn by marketing folks) that it makes
Verizon's misleading "can you hear me now?" campaign a big success.

In your neighborhood, perhaps. In other areas, maybe not.

No.
Ptt is a good time saver. I loved it when I had Nextel but I didn't need it.

Every system has it's weaknesses.
In my office building in Ft. Lauderdale, no one, not even Nextel customers
can call out while inside. But the VZW users can. I am sure it is the other
way around with other carriers, in other locations but I would NEVER have a
phone service that couldn't roam when out of it's coverage area. Nextel
users should think about this when they rely on their Nextel phone while on
a trip! Nextel phones do not roam!
