Sprint To Shut Down Their Nextel Service
Posted 6/15/2011
Sprint Nextel Corp. said it will start phasing out the Nextel part of its network in 2013, a decision that follows near-constant subscriber losses since Sprint bought Nextel in 2005. The shutdown should be complete in 2015. Sprint, the country's third-largest wireless carrier, had said it would eventually shut down the aging Nextel network, but hadn't said when until now.
The Nextel network being phased out has been an enormous burden to Sprint. The company has been saddled with the cost of running two incompatible networks, contributing to constant quarterly financial losses since 2007. Nextel phones don't work on the Sprint network, and vice versa.
General Communications has the answer to your Nextel woes. Our GCI Nexedge network provides instant communication with both a group call feature and private calling. Along with using state of the art equipment, our GCI Nexedge rates are way below cellular. Contact one of our communications consultants today to discuss your conversion to GCI Nexedge.
