Does anyone know what technology Thumb Cellular is doing now? I know they were doing TDMA, but I had a customer telling me that her sales rep told her that her that this week they will begin using CDMA.... If it is true that is cool, but I was thinking they were doing the GSM thing.

Thumb Cellular went CDMA as of last week.

Given their "arrangements" with ALLTEL, it's hard to imagine them doing anything else. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for the quick responses... Hopefully they can work something out with Verizon so that parts of the thumb can be added to the Americas Choice map. Does anyone know who the other provider up their is?

What kind of name for a company is Thumb Cellular?

roamer1 · 10-07-2003, 10:20 PM

They serve the area of Michigan known as the "Thumb". (The LP of Michigan is shaped rather like a mitten, and the area in question looks like the thumb of the mitten.) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

rumor has it that Verizon will get roaming agreements with Thumb cellular by the end of this year.
for AC plans that is.

since verizon now has a pcs license for allmost all of the thumb
why don't they build their network out there?

That makes a lot more sense now... Michigan's "thumb." Thanks, roamer1, good lookin' out.
