Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / August 2004GSM Roaming USA - Nextel?
On http://tinyurl.com/5uero Telstra claim they roam on Nextel in USA (frequency not stated - "other Mhz"), but no mention of Nextel in http://tinyurl.com/6m28u as a GSM operator. Their rates look fairly reasonable; anybody know more about this?

Nextel isn't a GSM operator, they are iDen. I suggest you just choose the network which has the best rates and has coverage where you happen to be. T-Mobile is 1900-only, whereas AT&T and Cingular are 850/1900 and it varies widely with the area you are in. So your phone's supported bands will be important. > On http://tinyurl.com/5uero Telstra claim they roam on Nextel in USA > (frequency not stated - "other Mhz"), but no mention of Nextel in > http://tinyurl.com/6m28u as a GSM operator. > > Their rates look fairly reasonable; anybody know more about this?

Yes, but they have to beat the GSM operators otherwise there would be little point to choosing them. I don't really know why they bother with a roaming agreement in the first place. |
