I feel sorry for you. I don't have a cellophone yet, but if I get one, it will definitely be with Cinguliar, so I can call my boyfriend anytime I want since Skype no longer allows free calls in the US and Canada.

Not anymore. Calling from Skype to cellophone, home phone, etc, is what I meant. My boyfriend's ISP sucks, he's suppose to have a 3mbit connection, and he lives only a few hundred feet away from his ISP, but he gets dialup speeds a lot of the time. So skyping isn't even on the list of things he's able to do. His isp is Valornet... And nobody usually ever hears of it. And it sucks more than my $25/month 256k up and down cox connection.

For future reference:

What you should have done was reported the phone stolen with the police department ASAP - most phone companies wont bill you for calls made after it was reported stolen with either them or the police (basically it acts as proof that the calls were not made by you).

Good luck getting out of paying for the calls, not sure you're going to be able though I'm afraid!

Agreed.

I find it hard to believe that Nextel do not have a free 24/7 number to report and bar stolen phones...I know all UK networks do. (many of which are also in the US - Vodafone, t-mobile etc)

I have been with 3 in the past, their service is not actually bad however for PayG it is stupid to use them as they wipe all remaining credit at the end of the month. They also restrict mobile internet to their own pages. I can't say i have heard anything bad about contract though. Coverage was good, i didn't get 3G everywhere but that is to be expected in the country.
