Nextel merged with Sprint in August 2005, and Nextel currently operates as a sub-brand under Sprint. Nextel caters mostly to business users, and offers unique services such as the "walkie-talkie" Direct Connect push-to-talk feature. Nextel uses Motorola's iDEN technology. They use an unusual set of small "SMR" frequency bands near 800-900 MHz, which are seperate from the 800/850 and 900 MHz cellular bands. They offer Motorola phones exclusively, since Motorola is the only manufacturer of iDEN phones.
