You have insurance if your car breaks right? You buy an extended warranty for your dvd player right? Why should your cell phone be any different? Nextel doesn't make phones, Motorola does. What gives you the impression that it's cheap to fix or replace the phone? Why should nextel front the cost if motorolas warranty is up? Nextel doesn't lose a dime if your phone is broken. You are still responsible for the monthly service fees.OK, it is very unwise (I'd say stupid, but that may be too harsh) to sign acellular contract that is more than ONE year in length. So a service planshould not be needed, period. This is especially true if you have neverused this particular provider IN THE AREA where you are CURRENTLY using yourcell. phone. I had to switch my personal cell phone carrier twice before Ifound a provider that offered good service where *I* use it. Similar storywith my business use cell phone. If I'd have signed a contract longer thanone year, I'd have been stuck with mucho-expensive early termination fees,increasing profits for a service provider that sucks, to put it bluntly.Nextel (not to pick on Nextel specifically, they are all just as bad as faras fees go) gets most of it's profits from the extra fees, not the monthlyservice fees. You know . . . the roaming charges, extra minute charges,etc. Most of Nextel's profits would dry up quick if every telephone on thenextel network were to suddenly explode. It definitely is in Nextel's bestinterest to see that the telephones on their network are working great, withvery little downtime. -Dave
