Please Enlighten Ignorant Wireless User

I've been doing research on the web and wireless forums concerning TDMA technology.

The general consensus is that it is a dead technology.
However, I came across a few debates where it has been stated that a phone with TDMA can still be used, depending on analog or digital mode.

Is a phone with TDMA useless?
If the motherboard is switched with a CDMA phone, will it function?

I've had two CDMA motherboards switched between two identical phones in order to make a new phone. I am contemplating switching the motherboard on a Motorola v60T color phone with a CDMA motherboard. However, The only compatible motherboard would be a Moto v60it color phone, with CDMA technology, in order to have the same features function. (At least I believe this is the case?).

I know, I must be really bored. They just don't make any good sci fi movies anymore.

:loony:

 

I will give it a shot when I get an exact match for the motherboard. It should have the CDMA on it and then I'll see if Pageplus can activate it.

Thanks for the information. Good to know.

 

Thanks Telekom.

Is this why I have come across debates on sites, regarding the coverage area, depending on whether it is analog or digital?

Some say that they can still get coverage. Right now the old Motorola v60t color phone is locked to the old Cingular network, (or new AT&T). It can't pick up service. My RAZR is on GSM and picks up reception from AT&T. Not good reception, unless I place it near a window, at an angle, without obstruction, while standing on the sill, holding it 3 meters above...... you get the idea.

 

Thanks Telekom.

That answers that...
