    That's what I thought. Not many, if any, iDen phones still in service. Those were PTT (Push-to-Talk) and actually used the Nextel network, through Sprint.

    My dad was still using his up to a couple of months ago when he received a letter from Sprint advising him "in order to continue your service with Sprint, you will need to purchase a different phone" (not an exact quote, but something similar). He went with Page Plus.

    I have verizon not impressed at all. I lose reception in a lot of places, then again it is nice when I'm in those areas because my phone doesn't ring. seems like the stupid thing hasn't shut up for the past 2 days.

    Your the first I ever heard a negative work about Verizon EVER! I had them 10 years and always had great signal etc.... when in middle of no where in west. I also did a lot of research on all cell companies and if you would do same you would see Verizon Decades ahead of ANY competition. In my ears no one besides Verizon and At&T I'd get cause Coverage for OTR Drivers.
