Nextel: The Best Cellular Service So Far...

by JohnGalt73 , Oct 21 '02
Pros: Clear calls, good local and national coverage, international coverage
Cons: Expensive, proprietary network, Web access is not very useful
I'm a habitual cell phone switcher. I change phones or carriers at least once a year, either because I'm not satisfied with the service I'm using or I just want a new phone. I've been using Nextel since August 2001 (though I'm naturally on my second...

Cons: Limited coverage, expensive international calling
My southern New Hampshire based company decided to get Nextel service for anyone who travels overseas, based on the idea that we could use the GSM feature to get phone calls and voice mail while out of the country. Its great in theory.

best service around

by vdam , Sep 28 '00
Pros: you pay the same and you get two way radio as well
Cons: cost of the phone is a little high
Nextel service is far above the average cell phone service. I recently change my cell phone service to the 600 business plan with Nextel.

The reception on my Nextel phone is 10 times better than is was on my last cell phone. I found that the...

Great phone/service....bad customer service department

by atwnh , Mar 28 '01
Pros: Full featured phone
Cons: While Connection service is good, service from the people poor.
I've been using Nextel for over 3 years now. I started out with the i600 back in January 1998, after I was told that my budget was going to be $100 a month for cellular and given that I covered 1/3 of the US, that would be a problem with the roaming...

by Alan_Klein , Oct 09 '99
Pros: long battery life, compact
Cons: spotty coverage
My Massachusetts-based company bought over twenty nextel phones, both the larger phones and the newer motorolla i1000's. The size and features of the phones are fine, the problem is with the Nextel sales hype and the network system. We bought the...

MetroWest- Adequate Service at Best

by gfkr2 , Dec 11 '03
Pros: Not much
Cons: Many dropped calls, Frequent busy signals
This is a review for Nextel service in the I-495 and west areas to Hampshire county. Nextel's service is spotty in this entire area. Nextel may be great in Boston, but not so great here. I primarily use the cell phone feature, versus direct connect ...

Nextel:Great Service

by vgrandy , Dec 10 '00
Pros: two way radio
Cons: more expensive then other cell plans
I use a Nextel phone for work purposes. Besides the cell phone we also use the two way radio feature. This is a great feature on this phone. It allows everyone on the "fleet" to talk to each other for free. I never get any static and there...

OK service

by ekelley12 , Oct 17 '02
Pros: Direct connect service
Cons: Pricey phones and service.
I purchased a Nextel i550 plus originally. I liked the direct connect service, which was extremely convenient and easy to use. My work place has since converted from a radio system to Nextel.

The only problem I had with my i550 plus was the...

Best Coverage
by green47tea ,Jan 26 '05
Pros: coverage, phones sturdy
Cons: more expensive, phones bulky
Have TMobile and have had Sprint recently. No comparison simply more bars with rare lost calls. Direct connect can be annoying for personal use as it just jumps in; if you limit it then what is the benefit
