Yuppers, they've had this for a few months. Kinda makes you want to get your friends to sign up eh? Then you could be shopping and asking for advice from your friend 2000miles away

thats cool and all but thats not really national yet
and besides the fact that nextel's service and customer service sucks.
Aholes are still trying to charge me $560 when I just owe them $220.
They tacked on a cancellation fee AFTER they said they'd waive it. And on top of that, I found out later on that they aren't supposed to be putting any cancellation fee on my account because its a govt account. They're all a bunch of brain dead morons
