Nextel

I was just wondering how many of you guys use the speakerphone properly?
it seems that Nextel users from all across the country are getting
backlashed because of "rudeness" in using their phone/speaker in public
so that everyone has to here their conversations. Even myself as a
Nextel customer, I get highly annoyed at people who air their PTT
conversations so that *everyone* has to here what the hostinghostinghostinghosting they are
talking about. i guess it makes them feel important. When will people
realize that its annoying to hear someones conversation. I am
personally tired of hearing hostinghostinghostinghosting like this:
BEEP BEEP!
Chirp! Whostinghostinghostingsssssuppp!?!?
BEEP BEEP! What joo doing?
Chirp! Nothing
BEEP BEEP! Where you at dawg!?
Chirp: Im at da store getting some Corona!
BEEP BEEP! Hew mommy needs some tampons!
Chirp: OK dawg does she need the ones with wings or the camouflauge
flavored ones?
Seriously ive heard hostinghostinghostinghosting like this.
QAnd with lots of young kids owning Boost prepaid phones around here,
its getting worse because they copy the adults.
A second generation of rude hostinghostinghostinghostinghostinghostinghostings is coming. Then with verizon and
sprint working on their own PTT its gonna get alot worse. SO USE THE
hostinghostinghostinghostingING IN EAR FEATURE WHENEVER YOU CAN!!!! Think of the children.
Cause when you forget to use etiquette, you make baby jebus cry.

Ah, those are just a few of the mindless ones. Most people are good about
when to use speaker and when to use earpiece.

I don't like the Nextel users who call me and just start blabbing right away
without giving me the first "courtesy" beep. Lately, I carry my phone on
vibrate, so I won't hear them until I pick up the phone and answer or flip to
speaker manually. Not my problem if they have to repeat themselves!

I hear ya! Unfortunately, I have several friends who insist on just hitting
their PTT button and start talking or something. I wish there was a way to
shut off the PTT feature (rather than having it on vibe only, etc.) to
temporarily stop that altogether.

I wish more people would take the extra half a second and alert someone or
just give a "heads up" chirp before they start babbling.

One question from a non Nextel person - If you change the DC call to the ear
piece & begin your conversation do you still get the beep beep in your ear
each time?

Bar B. Que said something like this:

When they start babbling, hit the 'exit' button, effectively cutting them
off, and then answer them as if they had just beeped you.

After a few times like that, they'll learn to beep first, talk when
answered.

Why not do the same thing back to them. I'm sure they'll get the message
fast.
