Angry Attn:nextel Users!!!!!

if u have nextel and u have a promo on it like free nights and weekends u will get fu*ked!!!!!!!! if u do not extend ur contract......

i have a nextel with 600anytime and free nights, free incoming and weekend promo
and for the past year my bill has be sky rocket..... just these past 2 months my phone bill was $621.77 and only now they tell me that when my contract was up i lose my free night and weekends....and on my contract it does not state anything of that nature.

so when i had my phone within the first year i had NEVER gone over my min. now after my contract has expired all of a sudden i go over my mins big time and every time i call in they say its cause of me that i use my phone too much..no one had the guts to tell me that my free night and weekend had expried till a year later!!!!! i would say i hav payed an extra $1200 to them

and what makes it worse is that i bought a i860 which was suppose to extend my contract to a another 2yrs with them and they say they have no record of that.

after one year i have never examined my bill. all i know is i write my entire bill off at the end of the year. plus everything gets taken directly out of my account-
i think after this year i am switching back to t-mobile

I don't get that... I was not under contract with them for a long time at one point and this never happened to me. Oh, and I am not saying I don't believe you. I know they have screwed me over a few times...

I am going to have to watch my account closer now, not sure when it expires anymore.

^^ well as a former outside rep for a few years selling all types of carriers it was suppose to be told to you that the promo is what it sounds like..promo.. your free weekends and what not will last for the term of ur contract..after that they'll be a charge..the sales person is and suppose to tell you that..however it is also located in the contract that after your contract is up the promo will..it is in very fine print..hehe..unless its one of those promo's that as long as u keep the same plan and not alter you will get the promo..thus free weekends and such)...take me for example..i got my promo plan way back when nextel first came out... 10,000 mins for 55.00 a month..now when i was selling i only used around 8 thousand mins...so you can probaly say it's an unlimited plan as i'll neva go over...free nites and weekends,long distance,the works...*KICKER* as long as i keep my plan i'll have all of this...change plan and promo goes away..hope this helps...


side note..by anychance u wanna sell ur i860 or trade plus cash ?

here is something to check.... look at nextel's "added taxes" - you find that they are higher than everyone else. period. my friend who owns upnext wireless in kaneohe canceled his personal nextel for that reason- the only reason why i keep mine is that i make use of the free incoming... it's basically my home/business number.

I have my plan forever... so maybe that is why I never was charged anything extra. But now that Sprint is in charge, I don't trust them...
