Nextel just plain stinks. First off the Nextel Customer Service Representive said that I would be able to get great reception in my area but that was a true lie. I live about 2 miles from the largest city in my county (Pottsville,Pennsylvania) and even at this close range I am loosing my single all the time. With my Cingular phone I always get a strong signal in the area that I live and everywhere else. Second off all Nextel was charging me for the telenave (which I never signed up for) and I also got other nonsense things charged on my bill. The bottom line is that you are much better off going with any other carrier than Nextel.
