Cancel and don't pay them..
When it shows up on your credit report, contest it as
their failure to provide satisfactory service.
So many people have been screwed by these cell phone
contracts that no one takes a failure to pay on a credit report
seriously any more...

Hi Tim
As stated above, if it's past the "trial period" you are stuck paying the ETF to cancel. Here are a couple of idea's for you
1) Cancel, pay the ETF then sell each phone on Ebay. Depending on the model, you might be able to get back most of your money you had to put out to cancel
2) Wait till Nextel makes a small change to the contract you signed Once a change is made that varys from the origanal contract you signed, you can cancel without paying the etf. Over the past year, I know this to be true with Verizon and Cingular.
Cheers

You're going to have to ride it out. There was a 30 day trial period when you first signed up in which you could have cancelled. If it's past that, they've got you locked in, unless you cancel and flee the country or something. The early termination fee by the way is $200 per line.
You could try paying someone to take over your contract. Tell them they only have to sign up for x amount of months instead of 2 years like you would new, and pay them whatever amount of money it takes, provided it's less than $200/line that is ;-) Sorry you had to find out how crappy Nextel is the hard way.

OK so what you need to do is call Nextel and tell them that you are missing all your calls and that you bad service. Tell them that if your phone worked you would have no probelm keeping the service. Ask them for advice
The REP will offer you a new Hybrid Phone for free and it has a 30 day trial. And if you don't like it they will wave your early termination fee.

Unfortunately not. Unless you can find someone who wants phones and do a transfer of responsability into their name. Other than that, you're pretty much stuck. Sorry!
