NEXTEL VS. SPRINT
to be honest with you I have tried both and I'm in the Chicago area they were both absolutely terrible!! Dropped calls were horrible!!! I hope this merger was worth it for sprint seems like a futile attempt to save a dying company! both J.D power and consumer reports as well as the cbs2chicago "great cellular test" back my facts good luck

I have a lot of friends in Chicago that work construction and have Nextel and they aren't happy, it seems that in the last year the cellular service part has gone downhill pretty bad. My friends with Sprint are OK with it, I actually know more people that complain about ATT and Cingular service than Sprint. I'm sure NEXTEL18 will say that everyone but Nextel and Sprint sucks but the channel 2 report did Rate U.S. Cellular, Verizon, and T-Mobile on top while Cingular was in the middle and Sprint, ATT, and Nextel were the worst.
...
hey bigdaddy, look at the jd powers associates. they mention that nextel is number 1 in that area. with sprint, well, i am not sure.
...
They are looking at the entire region and I'm sure that nextel users polled can't tell the difference between a call and a two way. Here in Chicago Channel 2 news tried all of the carriers and Nextel and Sprint didn't do so hot. nextel is overselling the area and overloading their network.
...
do you have a link for the channel 2 news? i want to read exactly what it said, becuase if it said that nextel and sprint didnt even join the trial then it doesnt matter, or the fact that only a minority of people used it wont have a huge impact about the results.
if you said nextel isnt good in your area then how could they be overselling the area and overloading the network? if they were bad they wouldnt even be selling anything.
looks like you have contradicted yourself, but oh well.

Sorry but I caught this a while back on the news. Consumer reports also backs up Chicago if I remember correctly. Why don't you drive out and test it yourself? I have used numerous providers here and U.S. Cell and Verizon are the best by far.
...
again, find some articles, back you stuff up or you are just full of it.
till the next time, please find some links to back your statement up or else your credibility will be shot.

why would i prove you wrong? you are the one who said something, so YOU should back yourself up when you say something.. again if you cant, then you are full of it.
you contradicted yourself when you said that nextel isnt good in the chicago and northcentral areas, however, jd powers says otherwise, and also you said that nextel's system was overloaded and oversold. that means that people likes nextel.

ok stop bickering this is where you go www.cbs2chicago.com then find specialreports and then in the search box type in "great cellular test"!! He is right us cell and verizon are the best in chicago over all else hands down and this comes from experience I have tried them all. Verizon is definitely the best with us cell a close second in my findings. Nextel is horrible here as it is most other places thats why they were bought out! face it, it was either be bought out or go out of business!!!

its prepaid what do you expect? (boost was having problems anyway with capacity restraints)
"U.S. Cellular came out on top for best service with just one audio breakup. Verizon was close behind with three. Nextel came in next, followed by T-Mobile and AT&T. Each one had fewer than 10 problems. Coming up last, Cingular with 10 audio breakups and two dropped calls, followed by Sprint with nine breakups and four dropped calls. "
us= 1
vz =2
nextel= 3
tmobile and att = 4
cingular=5
sprint=6
so there, nextel did pretty good.
" U.S. Cellular and Verizon topped our test for best service, followed by Nextel, T-Mobile and AT&T. Cingular and Sprint were at the bottom."

and also you said that nextel's system was overloaded and oversold. that means that people likes nextel.Noooooo...that would mean that (let's be hypothetical) whoever's network we'd be talking about was beyond capacity.
...
again look at mark's post
it mentions that nextel is number 3 and thats not too bad.

Actually a lot of the people I know left the old Cell One/Cingular network because Nextel has the market on PTT and they needed it for the contractors to reach them. My wife actually has a Nextel sitting in the house which just kills me, hahaha She uses it with a lady that she has a seperate business doing Chapter 13 loan refinancing with, something about free incomming calls I guess. All of the mailing they send out have the Nextel number on it. You don't even want to know how much we spend on Cellular service!!
