| Nextel users are not alone Cingular does the same thing only they charge ten cents a message. That's not all, they turn it on by default. I had to call twice and get ugly before they turned all the "frills and thrills" off. I got the cell for emergency use. I did not get it for voice messaging, text messaging or for idiot advertisers.
Quite frankly I'd like to know how the scumbag telemarketer got the phone number in the first place. It was a new exchange and a new phone number. I didn't have the cell 24-hours when the calls started. When my contract ends, I'm switching to a calling card.

| i've complained to nextel via phone and mail i've also informed the fcc, the bbb, congressmen, etc.
nextel's upper management is spending a ton of money on marketing (tv, print, billboard, radio, etc.) to keep stockholders happy. they have top pay for all of this so they screw their customers by NOT allowing a TOTAL TEXT MESSAGE BLOCK.
their options are obsurd...
1. cancel text messaging (and lose voice mail) 2. change number (get real...i have hundreds of clients) 3. forward to nextel (excuse me...headers don't come through and i bill for my time...three hundred messages per month or more...is nextel going to pay for my time???) 4. spam filter (ineffective, lame, just another way to buy time while continuing to bill customers for unwanted spam) 5. call for credit (once a month, i spend an hour on the phone with nextel going through the whole procedure again to get credit). 6. switch to another service (and pay nextel a cancellation fee)
this issue will eventually make it's way to the news and nextel will have to answer to it's customers, the public and the justice system. nextel's stockholders will eventually find out who's behind this incompetency and outright robbery.
