ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Cellphone?

I've got a Nextel (Motorolla) i1000 plus Cellular Device, which is my personal Cellular Telephone (and is used for work, too!). Had it since 1999.
Bought it at an Office Supply store under a "Two-For-One" Package Deal, so my Wife and I both have i1000+'s
(makes direct connect actually nice ).

Prior to this, had a Company supplied Nextel phone, which was in the "Common Field-Look" style of the basic i1000.

In the 1970's, my Father used the "Mobile Telephone" (Radio Telephone in the work truck). I loved that thing - especially the ring function triggoring the Vehicle's Horn Relay!

Late '70s, thru the '80s, our Friend / General Contractor kept his "Mobile Telephone" active, then ended the service around 1991.

I also had a Pager for years. Ended this service just last year.

Was given a Sprint Cellular Telephone for Company use back in April, but it was given to someone else whom lost their phone...again!

Reason for taking my cell phone:
... err,,,, ahhh,,, you already have a cell phone;
,,,... duhhh... we are trying to cut costs;
,,,... duhhh... you don't use it that much;
,,,...(insert additional B.S. here!).
</frustration vent>

Actually, the real reason is due to pinheads and their typical pinhead thinking!!!

Re; Anyone using Nextel Service:

Has anyone setup the newer "Advanced" Voice Mail options? I am referring to the current multi optional greeting schedules, etc...

I need to set this stuff up in tweeked mode, so contacts get ahold of me easier!
