Nextel/Sprint Best of both worlds

dihannah1 · 07-21-2005, 09:03 PM

I have had Sprint for about 6 yrs. and a Nextel for my job for 3 yrs. They each have unique services/functions that will be great when merge is complete. I love Nextel's direct connect better than Sprints RL, well for one, nobody else I know has RL. I have read alot on here about how horrible Sprint CS is and I have to say, I have had several bad experiences myself, but recently had to have my phone fixed and then change my service and I was amazed at how much they have improved.

So for those who are worried, having both services, I feel confident this merger will work out best for all. I'm excited because I know so many people with both and it will be cheaper to hopefully soon be able to talk for free to each other.

Gotcha, I hadn't seen or heard yet. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to see what the merger brings next. Hoping Nextel and Sprint users can talk soon.

I'm pretty sure the merger will work out for the best of 2 companies... That being said, my understanding of it is that for the good portion of the time will be spent working on financial end of it rather than technological end... Stock brokers & CEO's will have more things to worry about before we have to worry about who's gonna have to switch to what phone & company, or which service & phone's gonna work with which company... And when all the dust settles at the end, I believe, there will be some type of "hybrid" that we can move over to... Until then, no point worrying about anything & just keep doing what everybody's been doing & cross that bridge, which won't be for a while in my opinion, when we come to it...

Oh, by the way, I do like nextel's free in-coming plan. When and if it does happen, I'd really hate to see that go... I use about 3500 - 4000 minutes a month & good portion of it is from peak time in-coming calls... My other cell. phone bill before I moved to nextel used to be 135 - $170 per month... For the past 5 moth, since I moved to Nextel, my bill hasn't gone above $85... I wonder if when they merge, they are gonna keep the same plan around?

Well, if this new company goes to crap and pisses me off like Sprint did, it'll be another switch in companies right to T-Mobile.

Ha, ha, ha... I wish!!! those drug dealers make hell of alot more than I ever will... i whish I could see the kind of money they do in daily basis... Oh, well... at least I should take comfort in the fact that I don't have to worry about having to have a guy named "bubba" taking me under his wings & teaching me all the social graces of the jail cell...

oh, by the way, t-mobile ain't all that it's cracked up to be... I came over to nextel from t-mobile myself... at least places I use my cell. phones in, nextel seems to work just fine... I do have to admit, nextel has few more dead spots but nothing I can't work around... not to say t-mobile is crap, but they seem to be very similliar as far as service goes... my reason of moving to nextel, like I posted few days ago, was strictly financial reasons... as far as sprint goes, I went from sprint to t-mobile to nextel... and when I was with sprint, I do have to agree with you, they really pissed me off... It was some time ago so they might have improved since then but I still have doubts about sprint... but then with this merger, they might just prove me wrong so I'm just gonna sit this one out for a year or two & see where it goes... Just my 2 cents...
