This is soo not cool. If I want to add a line to my existing Nextel account, I can’t do it online! Sprint.com asks for my zip code, upon entering it I get the following message:

      It is because the Sprint Affiliate in your area has forbearance agreements with Sprint Nextel that prevents Sprint Nextel from proactively selling the Nextel brand. That’s why you are limited to over-the-phone sales for Nextel lines. Blame iPCS. Their website is http://www.ipcswirelessinc.com
