still can make calls on vzw network, but i got one question, took an un activated phone and forced it in roam, got this error message "We do not reconize your moble number as an autherized user, if your a new customer and receive this recording in error, dial 611 for support....." any one know what company this is? because i can get 4-6 bars with these guys most the time.

that error message would be good ole att

Analog man · 02-17-2008, 10:59 PM

bet everyone in the pizzajoint didn't know what kind of phone that is.
thanks speer320, i thought at&t had crappy analog, but its better than verizon!
what alltel and us cellular 's sid and channel numbers. the old moto can be put in test mode and scan channels
i found a few analog channels verizon- 334 att-333 ???-218 ???-824 ???-1024 yall know who these channels belong too?

RadioFoneGuy · 02-17-2008, 11:17 PM

channels are different per market as there are 2 cellular bands for analog both A Band and B Band, a few of those are A Band channels

my company uses 300's for Analog control and voice channels and 900's and 1000 are TDMA

Once you go to GSM or CDMA these channels are not longer relevant.

How do keep getting batteries for those phones?

i imprevise

i have two of those microtacs
one is use for testing and exprementing, (its the one with the red rc car battery)
the other bat was cut opended and i replaced the cells with 5 rechargable AAs and hot glued back together with the help of a little electrical tape

speer320 · 02-17-2008, 11:30 PM

i am wondering if att TDMA will still be up after midnight cause they have stayed it will be shut off

I am running a old tracfone 1221 it gets AT&T TDMA fine
AT&T Analog only stays connected for 6 secs then disconnects
Verizon analog works great gets full signal and has tin can sounding calls lol

I'm impressed!! I haven't heard too many stories of improvised batteries. Those things are ghetto as sh#t!!!

Analog man · 02-18-2008, 2:54 AM

thank you

hey shango, does ur brick use ni-cd or lead acid batteries?

its 10:53pm, analog still here! just over an hour to go

speer320 · 02-18-2008, 2:58 AM

what about east coast people?

Analog man · 02-18-2008, 3:03 AM

any east costers still get analog?

shango · 02-18-2008, 10:57 AM

Analog is still on here in LA, 655am. Both att and vzw are on.

The brick is ni-cad batterys.

Im thinking you maybe the site thats covering you is a sector site. The cdma is on 3 sectors and analog is on omni antennas. You may be outside verizons licensed area so there are no cdma antennas pointed your way.
that was just a though.

I think ATT's already shutting down. I powered up the DynaTac today and on the A side when I tried to call 611 all I got was a high pitched tone. On the B side I got a Verizon Wireless message.

Oh, almost forgot, DC area...

RadioFoneGuy · 02-18-2008, 12:26 PM

I read somewhere the ATT and Dobson Analog would get cut on March 1st.

Still got Analog in the Great Lakes.

Analog man · 02-18-2008, 1:23 PM

i made a A scan call in the test-tac, here is the .wav
now im gona do scan B

Yankees368 · 02-18-2008, 1:26 PM

I will check ATT TDMA and AMPS as well as VZW AMPS in 20 minutes and post back. (for Buffalo, NY)

Yankees368 · 02-18-2008, 2:14 PM

Well it looks like ATT TDMA and AMPS are still alive and kicking. I was not able to get my test phone to lock onto a vzw signal. Im not sure if I have the phone set up wrong, or the signal is just not there.

Analog man · 02-18-2008, 2:21 PM

verizon over here still works and i was able to order pizza from it!

It is a national holiday so they may be going slow. Although, the day is not over.

I did notice that the analog signal has dropped a lot since the morning. Could be going off 1 tower at a time.

Analog man · 02-18-2008, 3:56 PM

analog hasnt changed here. cdma for sure hasn't change here too

Yankees368 · 02-18-2008, 5:09 PM

ATT TDMA still going strong here at 4 pm
