That rocks, my brother used to work for Staples, which is a Nextel dealer, Since he was authorized to sell the plans, he got a major discount himself... It was something like $12 a month for Voice mail, caller id, Call waiting, 1000 Anytimes minutes, and free night and weekends... The best part about it, even after he left staples... He still got the discounted plan. I suggest you splurge on a really nice cell phone and plan. then keep it as long as you possibly can for those low prices you should get.
