Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / January 2006Get out of CONTRACT
Anyone have any insight on how to get out with out hopefull having to pay the cancelation fee >Anyone have any insight on how to get out with out hopefull having to >pay the cancelation fee Build a time machine, go back in time, influence your decision to sign a contract?  SignatureThere truly is more than one way to skin a cat, but the limited market for cat skins makes learning more than three methods impractical.

Why do you want out of the contract? > Anyone have any insight on how to get out with out hopefull having to > pay the cancelation fee > Anyone have any insight on how to get out with out hopefull having to > pay the cancelation fee depends hwo long you've been in your contract, my friend had 4 nextel phones on his account and had 1 year left on his contract, but he got NO service at his house, so he called and said he hasn't been getting service at his house and was sick of missing calls, they had him do some stuff and confirmed it and he was released from his contract penality free. -Nick >> Anyone have any insight on how to get out with out hopefull having to >> pay the cancelation fee [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >-Nick I have been n it for almost two months, and cant get service inside my house, have to go in the back yard, (Weather permitting) and overall I am finding allot of DEAD Zones in what my previous carrier had max reception all the time. > I have been n it for almost two months, and cant get service inside > my house, have to go in the back yard, (Weather permitting) and > overall I am finding allot of DEAD Zones in what my previous carrier > had max reception all the time. I've had nextel for about 3 or 4 years now, and LOTS of dead zones, dropped calls and otehr mishaps. they are HORRABLE for service (in this area) dispite countless network tickets nothigns been done, the only reason I still have it is my work pays for the phone (we use the walkie talkie feature a lot at work) if I had to actually pay 1 dime for this service, I'd switch. I imagine once nextel is switched over to the spring network, it will be much beter, but the iDEN network is bad and old technology and they only want to dump the least amount of money as possible into it because eventually it will be on the sprint network. -Nick > >> Anyone have any insight on how to get out with out hopefull having to > >> pay the cancelation fee [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > overall I am finding allot of DEAD Zones in what my previous carrier > had max reception all the time. One question... Why'd it take you so long to find out that service is unacceptable? The same question applies to the previous poster's friend. Notan > One question...

I heard something (not sure if it was just my area, or nextel as a whole) that they were using too much power on their transmitters, and were forced to scale them back by the FCC (again, not sure if thats true or nt) were also told that other towers were going up soon in the area, and again for me the direct connect is a VERY useful feature at work. I rarely use it with friends (although most of them don't have nextel anymore becuase of poor service, most have verizon or cingular.) > > One question...

I rarely use it with friends (although most of them don't have nextel > anymore becuase of poor service, most have verizon or cingular.) If signal strength has gotten worse, you might have a case. As far as the promise that more towers would go up, you may have been suckered. Notan When we first signed up back in December, the signal strength was fantastic, and I could make calls from inside the house with no problem, now after the first of the year, you cant get one bar, and the majority of the time it says no service until I go out in the front of the house. When I get the time in the next couple of days and I have the patience to deal with someone in Retention than I will go ahead and state my issues AGAIN. Also whats up with spending 149.00 dollars on a phone and with in 30 days having to have to replace it with the CS Step program and they send me a USED/REFURBISHED phone, I called about that and the one called back and left a message on the machine that the customer service rep that told me that I was going to get a NEW Phone LIED to me. I saved that on the answering machine. Over all what good is it going to do, who knows, all I know is the wife is not happy with the service and tells me after the 15 day trial period is up and because she has Onstar in the car, she doesnt need a seperate phone. > > > One question...

The same question applies to the previous poster's [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Notan In all fairness, your wife not needing a separate phone is probably something that should have been thought of before you signed up for the service. If you have called in to Nextel to report the service issues and nothing has been done in a reasonable amount of time, you may be able to get out of the contract. Be sure to keep any reference numbers they give you in case they give you a hard time.

Michael, Most carriers give a 14 to 30 day trial period to test for these type problems. The very nature of how cellular telephone works does not guarantee reception inside building (or anywhere really). Cellular works on radio waves and conditions are constantly changing. By the way, cellular is not guaranteed to work in a moving car either. Look how many people use cellular telephones while driving. Bud Stein Bud, Whats your point? > > I have been n it for almost two months, and cant get service inside > > my house, have to go in the back yard, (Weather permitting) and [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Bud Stein |
