Sprint PCS - Nextel Wireless

The recent merger of Sprint PCS and Nextel Wireless brings together one of the top service providers to individuals with the unquestioned number one provider to business. Together the new Sprint is able to offer choice and flexibility with features and pricing plans that appeal to every segment of the consumer and business wireless markets.

Why Choose Sprint PCS Service?

One of the most distinctive features of Sprint wireless service has always been the fact they did not make you choose between a local calling package with a greater number of included minutes and a nationwide package that allows roaming out of the "home" coverage  but at the expense of fewer included minutes. Sprint wireless calling packages have always allowed all of the included minutes to be used anywhere on their nationwide network without additional roaming fees. In addition, their more recent Fair & Flexible program charges very reasonable rates (on the order of $0.10/minute) for usage over the number of minutes included in the monthly calling package. This is a very nice bonus over the much higher rates (on the order of $0.75/minute) for overages charged by some carriers. Sprint PCS offers more than progressive and fair pricing plans, however, they also are cutting edge in terms of features and wireless network technology.

Why Choose Nextel Wireless Service?

The Nextel walkie-talkie functionality is what initially put the company on the map as it allows business users to quickly and easily be in contact with one another. It did not take long for non-business users to realize how powerful these Nextel wireless phones were, however. The walkie-talkie functionality is to phone conversations what instant messaging is to e-mail. That is, a quick and somewhat informal means to communicate with one or more individuals. Once people try the technology they are hooked and that is part of the reason why Nextel wireless subscribers have the highest customer loyalty rate in the industry. Do not think that Nextel wireless service is just about the walkie-talkie feature though, their service provides all of the features that you would expect and at extremely competitive prices.
