Nextel Online, a wireless service from Nextel Communications, has
teamed up with FedEx to allow its 1.7 million subscribers to track
their packages while on the go.
"Nextel Online helps people deal with their hectic workday and
lifestyle by bringing to their fingertips the services they need for
business, shopping and entertainment," said Tim Dunne, vice

services to our wireless portal is a strong enhancement to the

Through a wireless Web site dedicated to mobile package tracking
and drop-off services, subscribers can easily check the status of
their packages with FedEx Express and FedEx Ground.

Nextel’s wireless portal and in three easy clicks have access to
FedEx’s services, including:
- Monitoring the shipping status of their FedEx packages,
- E-mailing tracking results to up to three e-mail addresses, and
- Locating any one of the 50,000 FedEx drop-off points.
