My company recently gave me this Nextel i530 cell phone to keep in touch with me. Although I would have preferred a better phone (with color screen, camera, and other nifty features), I am happy with this for business needs.

We usually purchase these phones from the local Nextel store and right now we can get them for about $50.00 a piece after a $200.00 instant rebate. So the company was happy that I was in touch and it did not cost them a lot of money.


THE PLAN :
They gave me the $45.99 plan that includes 500 anytime, unlimited nights and weekends, included nationwide long distance, and unlimited walkie-talkie minutes. This plan also has free call hold and waiting, 3-way calling, and voicemail. Since it is a company phone, I do not know about the contract term.
