Can somebody PLEASE give me at least one good reason why I should switch
from NexTel to Verizon? Will Verizon ever be able to compare to NexTel in
sound quality with their PTT. And what gives with the expensive $59.95 per
mo? They would draw more NexTel customers if their plans were more
competitive in price. Get a GRIP VZW!

Re: One Good Reason?
If Nextel covers the area you need to use its phones in, there is no
reason to move. INSIDE Nextel's service area, it's far superior to
VZW's PTT which is a cluged up mess of data-over-cellular-network
crap. Trunked radio systems will always work better for PTT.
However, Nextel across the planet is confined to Nextel's tiny
footprint, compared to the huge number of systems VZW has bought up
from all kinds of carriers. VZW works in the country, where I have to
work. Nextel has no presence there in my area, only cities and
interstates. 2-3 miles off the interstate and service stops. VZW has
AMPS analog celular service on a mature cellular system with a large
footprint in the country IF, as I do, you have a powerful 3W AMPS
phone to maximize its usefulness. Toy phones on CDMA with 200mw
peanut whistle transmitters and tiny antennas only work about 2-3
miles, tops, LESS IN THE TREES. Country towers are 10 miles apart,
made for the old AMPS carphones.
May I ask why, other than the walkie talkie novelty playing cop, you
would want half-duplex, one-sided PTT....especially if UNLIMITED, full
duplex, Mobile-to-Mobile with cellular privacy is available at less
than half price?
I alert this because in Charleston, SC, Alltel is offering a plan with
700 anytime minutes in SC and NC to phones, UNLIMITED M2M between
Alltel phones inside SC/NC service area, free nationwide long
distance, 100 anytime minutes in all 50 states for traveling, all the
usual 3way, call waiting, call forwarding, voicemail, no answer
transfer, etc., for only $39.95/mo! That's a helluva deal if you use
Alltel phones between your key people on M2M all day. Sure a better
deal than PTT on Nextel which is very pricey in comparison!
The stock market analysts are telling us to all hang onto our wallets
UNTIL number portability causes them all to start cutting each others'
throats in pricing and plans, trying to prevent the churning they all
deserve. These analysts are warning the stockholders to expect a big
revenue cut because of the promotions. I agree.....Sit tight until
number portability starts the bidding wars sure to follow before
deciding on any new purchases of service or equipment......
