We Rep for Nextel in a Partners market... They do not bill a month in advance. It has always eluded me that the consumers at large pay a month in advance... isn't it really a pre-paid service then? And if so why the harsh credit scores? Nextel prefers we only change a plan at the end of the billing cycle... and frankly when explained to the customer at the point of established service they know it and are OK with it... Besides it prevents us from dissecting more confusing bills with people who generally don't get it.

It is what it is.
