OSU Wireless-Cellular: Sprint/Nextel Merger
Coverage
Since Sprint (CDMA) and Nextel (iDEN) use different technologies OSU Wireless customers will see differences in coverage as a result of the merger.
Sprint "Ready Link" and Nextel "Direct Connect"Sprint customers cannot yet use "Ready Link" to connect to Nextel customers using "Direct Connect."
Sprint "PCS to PCS"Calls to Nextel customers are now included in Sprint's "PCS to PCS" calling. This means customers with a plan that includes free PCS to PCS calling will not incur air time charges when calling a Nextel subscriber.
