$20 for 200 minutes. Sometimes I don't even use one minute in a month. The secret? Turn the freakin' thing off when you're not using it. Yes, I'm cheap.

My ex-bosses' daughter racked up $700 one month. Needless to say, I didn't get paid for a couple of weeks.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Nextel has to be the worst, although you can call and get charges dropped I have before, I will be looking for a new service at the end of the month, I never have a signal and drop calls everywhere.

My daughter had a $1,600.00 bill in 09/01.

She was a rescue worker at ground zero on 9/11 and everyone used her cell looking for people.

She had been rushed in from Albany and her phone worked whereas the NY city phones weren't.

Best $1,600.00 ever spent

Enjoying Life !

Yea, I don't know for sure, but I believe the State of New York picked up most if not all.

My daughter never told me.

Most companioes were really fantastic to all the rescue workers.

Enjoying Life !

I ran up a bill close to $500 for the month, I called and bitched to them because my wife uses 0 minutes most months and they won't let me share the minutes, and the girl dropped the bill down to $250.00
I changed from the plan I had that should never see a bill over $75.00 a month, that allows me to talk with anyone with another Nextel/sprint (most of my calls ) for free!
I'de lost without the 2way feature as I use it all the time !!!
