They seem to be doing their best to kill off the nextel customers. Last
week I was in the third location I visit that dropped them and went with
VZW. In each case they said sprint raised the price and eliminated a
bucket of minutes and required multiple small buckets which just makes
it tedious for the end user to track and pretty much guarantees overages.
