I dumped Nextel after constant dropped calls.....The best customer service story yet......
Me: "Hi...every single day I drop my calls at the intersection of 355 and 290, can you check your coverage there". (my commute to and from work)
Nextel: "sure, we'll open a ticket and have our network people check that area for coverage issues..here's the ticket number"
5 days later, I get a text message from Nextel Support.
"Please go to the area where your calls are dropping and call us from a land line so that we can further troubleshoot this issue."
yea....There's lots of payphones stuck on the middle of the highway.
The worst part is, Nextel didn't even try nor care. I had been a loyal customer (2 lines) for 3 years. I was flying without a contract at that point, so I had 0 to lose by dropping them and taking my number with me...I called them again, told them I wasn't happy...what are you going to do for me?...and they offered to sell me a new phone, at the exact going rate on their website...oh and I had to renew my contract for 2 years. Buh bye.....
2 weeks later, I dropped them and went to Verizon and have been very happy overall.
