Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / June 2004I'm not happy with Nextel and the i830 availability
So, I can't get Nextel to sell me an i830 unless I activate a new account. Worse yet, they say they won't be available until July 31st to current customers. Was anybody able to get one that's a current Nextel customer???? I've been waiting so long for this phone only to get "Sorry, you need to activate a new account". This is ridiculous! stahlee > So, I can't get Nextel to sell me an i830 unless I activate a new > account. Worse yet, they say they won't be available until July 31st > to current customers.

Box, sim, belt clip, and wall charger included. > > So, I can't get Nextel to sell me an i830 unless I activate a new > > account.

There were tons of guys on Howardfourums.com and also purchased without new activations. Time for you to find another dealer in your area. > This is ridiculous! I lost one of my phones and didn't have The Signal insurance so the store I went to told me that they didn't sell phones without activation and that I would have to cancel my old number and activate a new phone. Customer service was going to charge me the $200 cancelation fee, until they found out the store lied to me and required a new activation. According to the rep on the phone, the store gets $25 in commission for each new phone activated. Sounds like the franchise store you went to is trying to make money off you. Got one yesterday. Without activation. Had a 530, (blech!) Only one gotcha... Rep in store said that it wouldn't be active for 24-48 hours. 'Cause of "quality assurance". Said that "SIMS don't transfer between phones" which is BS. Popped the old SIM into the i830 and was up and running immediately. Suppose that I'll have to switch to the new SIM sometime today/tomorrow > So, I can't get Nextel to sell me an i830 unless I activate a new > account.

Do you mean extend your contract, and not really a new account? stahlee wrote: > *So, I can't get Nextel to sell me an i830 unless I activate a new > account.

Amen, brother. Nextel is ripping us off on these phones because they've got customers by the short hairs who need their type of service. > Thanks Nextel... > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > http://cellphoneforums.netView this thread: > > http://cellphoneforums.net/t123612.html Got my new i830 today and it is a sweet phone. small and light. Fits in the palm of my hand. I love the bronze color I chose too! I can't load any rinders with myjal tho. It won't recognize the software. Sent an email to myjal support to see what the story is.

My traxcking number says I will have my new i830 in my hand tomorrow morning. All Ihad to do is extend me contract for the same price as a new contract. Mention this and I am sure you will get the same response. If not than I will be buying some i830 to sell. lol Jackie Busa > So, I can't get Nextel to sell me an i830 unless I activate a new > account.

I already have an account with Nextel all I did was extend my contract. Paul S The sad part about this is all cell carriers are required to have all customers equipment GPS or triangulation enabled by 2005 for E911 locate ablility. However, we as impatient Americans can't wait and these companies all know it. > In Anderson, South Carolina I walked into a Nextel Retail Store and > purchased a silver i830 on 06/05/2004.

Are you saying that non-GPS phones like the i95 won't be allowed anymore? > The sad part about this is all cell carriers are required to have all > customers equipment GPS or triangulation enabled by 2005 for E911 locate > ablility.
