[Scan-DC] Fwd: [firepage-l] Expanded nextel coverage

Thu, 02 Jan 2003 15:58:39 -0500

The feature described below is called "Travelling Direct connect" it does not "Expand
Coverage" it only allows you to travel to other markets and use the direct connect feature
within the market only. It does NOT allow you to call back to your home market. Phase II
will allow you to talk across the country. Nextel's Spin masters notorious for confusing
their employees and the public by adding hype buzz phrases  like.......

"Nationwide Direct Connect(tm)"   in their statements.

Don't believe the hype........
