Deciding

Need help deciding. I can get on my employer's nextel plan as an individual. My work issues nextels to persons in select positions. If I had one I could communicate with others in my organization more easily.

But, no one else I ever call has one. With my current provider all mobile to mobile calls are free.

Is there a real and tangible benefit to these things?

depends on how you are going to use it. I could not have anything else, any other phone service would cost me a fortune every month.
