I got this notice on my bill:
Sprint Ready Link-Discontinued
7/31/09
For a push-to-talk service alternative, Sprint
offers Nextel Direct Connect®. Please visit
sprint.com or call 888-211-4727 to learn more
about phones, features and discount
opportunities. Thank you for choosing Sprint!

Does this mean Qchat will be gone and you will only have DC on a Nextel plan????

Readylink is not Q-Chat. Q-chat is the technology behind CDMA phones being able to utilize Nextel Direct Connect and having nothing to do with iDen technology.

Great, thanks. I've been working with Sprint for about a month now trying to get them to add DC to my free and clear plan so I can buy a couple Renegades. I think I am finally there and I saw that on my bill and almost flipped out!
I don't know if they changed their billing format so it references DC on all bills or if a rep added the codes to track any DC activity if I buy the phones. Cause my bill also says: Nextel Direct Connect on Sprint Call Detail - Display Nextel Direct Connect on Sprint Call Detail originated from: (phone numbers) and then it says no data available
Any ideas??
