| how many of you have the "R-Link" option on your phone?? if so....do any of you have it activated?? what are your thoughts?? how does it compare to Nextel's "walkie-talkie" feature?? thanks for any info. |
I'd say, don't do it. My phone, Sanyo RL4920, has the option but I think it's a waste of money. You can get unlimited Sprint->Sprint for $5 of unlimited RL->RL for $15 a month. Hmmm both do the same thing, communicate to Sprint users for no more minutes out of your plan. One's incredibly rude, I think, where the other is like any other use of the phone. Mainly seen as a waste of money to me.

I don't have sprint, but I can comment on Nextel's direct connect feature. While a lot of people think that Direct connect is incredibly rude, it's the user who's being rude. All of Nextel's phones have a button that turns the speaker for direct connect off, and you can talk on it like a regular phone (just have to hit the DC button  )

EXACTLY. I use mine like that all the time. I was in a restaurant yesterday where some ass was having a conversation on his Nextel with the speaker turned way up. Idiot. |
Just politley ask him to hit his DC speaker button. |
That would be nice. Have you tried checking on some cell phone discussion forums? I'll see if I can dig some up. |
