Unhappy new Sprint customer...

I suspect that there rightly should be some secrecy, confidentiality
about customer lock outs. It may even be a government requirement.
Like the freeze I had on my land line's long distance service.

Actually to that end, Nextel is no better than AT&T. My colleague played
the role of guinea pig with nextel. Of course all the Nextel sales reps
gave him the usual up front "our products will be perfect for you" speech.
And he bought into it, moving from AT&T Wireless. He did that almost a year
ago and has had nothing but problems from the start. It took Nextel over a
month to port his AT&T number. Now granted, it was shortly after porting
had become available so they may have had to work out a few kinks, but
still, a month???

More than that his service was effectively downgraded as the Nextel coverage
is far more limited than AT&T's ever was. Oh ya...and the much-hyped
nationwide walkie-talkie service is even more limited despite all the
advertising claiming a huge coverage area across the country. Only portions
of their network have been upgraded to handle the nationwide service.

He plans to cancel his Nextel phone and move to Sprint as soon as his
contract is up.

Not even close to being true. Nationwide DC is possible anywhere Nextel has
coverage.

Not true. My colleague already inquired three times about this matter and
was told what I wrote in my prior post. To be sure, I just double checked
the Nextel website myself. Feel free to check for yourself and view any of
the coverage maps. You will see that some areas have local while others
have coast-to-coast walkie-talkie service. That's certainly not 100%
coverage by my definition.
