You could, in theory, start a civil claims suit (small claims suit) against them in a court and file for an injunction against their collection efforts. During this time, however, you would not be legally allowed to use the phones at all. If you win, you contract can be cancelled without harm. If you lose, you're just back in the same boat (and out the filing fee, which is not too much in most areas). If you have any friends/family that are attorneys, you could have them draft a legal complaint and send it to NexTel legal. They may be more willing to drop the $200 contract rather than try to pull you through the mud. Lastly, comb through your contract. Check for ANY clause that might get you an out. Some states have different protections in place which would be required, by law, to be noted in the contract. If the contract was signed in MI, it may not be included... go to a local NexTel dealer and look over a contract there.
Lastly, perhaps you could go to a store that sells multiple phone services. They may have an out for you if you sign up through another service through them. I suggest T-Mobile as an alternative service... I've used them throughout MI, OH, IN, IL and WI without any problems (save spotty crap in the wilderness).
