nextel users?

Question

is it true your first bill is extremely high?then it goes down after that?my husband assumed the salesperson told him 70$ for the fair and flex plan for both phones but the bill says 135$?HELP PLEASE?

Answer 1

Nextel, as well as other cellular service providers bill the rate plan a month up front. What this means is that when you start service you will be billed for the actual time you've had the service in your first billing cycle (pro-rated charges) PLUS for one full month. So if your first bill generates after one full month it would be about double. If it generates after a half month it should be about 1 1/2 times a normal bill. You also need to realize there could be a $36 activation fee on your first bill with Nextel. go to page 4 of your bill to break down the charges from page 3.

Answer 2

I have a feeling that you were unaware that the $70 charge was for EACH phone per month. Alot of people get confused and I have seen it happen to other people where they think it is $70 for both phones per month. Call NEXTEL to get precise information on your new contract and if you aren't happy, ask if you can switch to a more comfortable plan. Check out the rates at NEXTEL/SPRINT website http://www.nextel.com before calling

Answer 3

Yes, the first bill is much higher than the following bills. For what it's worth, I've had Nextel for years, and I'm very satisfied with them.

Answer 4

My first bill was higher than normal. It adjusted to normal after that, I liek nextel the only downside is the phones. All the other companies have much cooler phones.

Answer 5

Regardless of what company you start with your first month's bill will be higher.
First you have your activations fees for each phone, which is usually 36 dollard for the first phone and 18 for the second phone.

Then you will pay at least a pro-rated rate for the month you started and one full month.

Answer 6

Had too many problems with them so I switched to Verizon Wireless.
