Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / September 2003NexTel vs Verizon
Well it has been about 2 1/2 weeks since Verizon implemented their PTT. How are the Verizon customers handling the delay? My sister-in-law purchased 4 phones with PTT for her family (she was an existing verizon user). I am a nextel user and I tried to get her to change to nextel since it has proven good performance in eastern Massachusetts. She brought the v60p's over my house to show me the phones. She could not get the PTT to work with the phones in the same room. Once she was home in her house she still had trouble. She brought them all back the next day and reactivated her prior phones. She now plans to switch to Nextel in a week or two. > Well it has been about 2 1/2 weeks since Verizon implemented their PTT. How > are the Verizon customers handling the delay? Between that ptt mess vzn brought upon itself and vzn screwing up so bad during the blackout think alot of open minded people are swapping to providers that can deliver. Spin vealots spin.....

Spin vealots spin..... How did the blackout affect the people? Fact: Verizon towers overloaded almost immediately and had network congestion for 4 hours after the power went out. Switches and trunks were fine, as were about 95-98% of the towers throughout the whole ordeal. people were able to use their phones after the initial rush and in no sense was the network ever comprimised during the situation. This was reported on many boards and by some newspapers. Fact: Nextel PTT worked great during the first 5 minutes or so of the blackout and then subsequently started dropping as much as 95% of PTT calls soon thereafter. Towers started going offline as little as 4 hours into the ordeal. People on the nextel forums on boards (hofo and wa) were reporting that Nextel PTT and service wasn't restored in some areas until 3 days after power was restored. I'm not advocating one over the other, but please get your facts straight Victor your FACTS are NOT. I'm talking about what PEOPLE in the area of NYC who were effected. The TRUTH... The BS in the "boards and newspapers"...... get a clue. vzn wirless was not prepared and let its customers down, "overloaded" bs excuse or not vzn wireless failed. vzn landlines? some are still down in nyc. BOTH FACTS Nextel worked THROUGHOUT, no problems as did ATT. FACT! Read what you want to, but being here, calling people, being called by people TRUTH was here. PERIOD. you get your facts before thinking you know something and spreading the BS. findme@howardorums (Victor P) wrote in article <vl817akd59s3ed@corp.supernews.com>: > X1XX@hotmail.com (CCCC1 1CCCC) wrote in article > <vl7qr8eu22eo78@corp.supernews.com>: [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > [posted via phonescoop.com - free web access to the alt.cellular groups] Give me hard evidence.

Yeah why should we listen to personal responces of how vzn dropped the ball during the blackout? Better yet listen to those that dont have the service and were not even in the area effected. This method of yours has merit when all you used to hearing is vealots BS'ing, but when the TRUTH is being spoken personal TRUTH, people in the area, people trying to use the service they are paying for, service that should have been able to function even when landpower was lost... example generators.... hmmm yeah BS and rumors over personal responces and truth... yeah victor your COMPLETELY WRONG!

How > are the Verizon customers handling the delay? My impression is that VZW's PTT works about as well as Nextel's regular phone service does most everywhere else (for the sarcasm impaired, that means not very well). But what's your point anyways? You could have just bought a cell with a speaker phone if you wanted to share your calls with (and annoy) everyone else around you, and it would have worked in a lot more places too. For many business situations, NexTel may very well make sense (I've used under those circumstances myself). But any consumer who buys it without a buiness need is an idiot in my book. "Oooh. It beeps every time I press the button! Then I just talk really loud!"  SignatureJason G 2002: Yanks - $126M = 103 wins, A's - $40M = 103 wins too! ;) now now Giambi vealot... this is America and we have choices here. Someone can purchase a Nextel phone if they feel like it, they dont have to answer to losers such as yourself who feel stipulations need to be made. They are not idiots, Get a life. Sorry vzn's ptt sucks and your feeling small, like the other vealots, but that is no reason to belittle another wireless company that can get calls and ptt right. There are leaders and saddly in vzn's case sorry fat cat followers. Seems the only "idiot" is you and your grandstanding.

The only time my Nextel DC acts like that ad is when I'm WAY out in the woods at the edge of the Parish.

Deep in the country where you start > to hear banjo music playing in the background... Amazing! A few weeks ago I wrote about how Verizon's system would have a PTT delay, and nobody listened! All I heard was Verizon is going make NEXTEL look like crap. Ernest.... most of us listen and noted your post and agree'd then and YOU ARE RIGHT! its been proven vzn's copy cat ptt sucks. There are certain losers here that are better known as vealots. They fight you on anything. If you were to say the sky is blue, they would disagree and say "no the sky is vzn". But now that there's proof of vzn's copy cat ptt sucking the vealots are back on the coverage myth. Sad sad vealots.... anything to make vzn feel better and justify a vealots waste of air.
