To Nextel Fans and Foes

[Hooper]

Hi Guys-

I am finally out of contract with Cingular. I have always endured poor reception and lots of dropped calls with them and will thankfully say good bye in a few days.

Trouble is, I really need to have a phone due to my work.

I have to be able to return a page or receive a call, there's no option to this. A lot of the guys I work with have Nextel and say they have had good luck with it. My employer has Nextel and they use it often to get ahold of us, very convient. But, I have heard there are many who have had very bad experiences with them, a few on this site if I remember correctly.

Price is comprable to what we are paying now and also comprable to Verizon, who has very good service by all accounts.

Anyone have a strong statement they care to throw my way???

Verizon or Nextel???
