    VZW now has CDMA up in Columbus (running off SID 1015 and an Atlanta switch just like Macon; analog and TDMA are still on old SIDs and the former Price's Columbus switch) [​IMG] , but does NOT have CDMA up in Auburn/Opelika yet. [​IMG] I suspect VZW is going to move analog to the same Atlanta switches as the CDMA and shut the C'bus switch and TDMA down after Macon/C'bus customers are migrated to CDMA... (Auburn/Opelika is on a former Price switch in Dothan despite being only 25 miles from C'bus -- which probably explains the lack of CDMA there right now.)

    I'll get to Augusta and/or Savannah one of these days...

    Does it look like the entire Price area is going onto SID 1015? I noticed here in Auburn that some of the control channels have been reshuffled or removed. I used to sit on a697 all the time. Now i sit on a702, ive never seen that channel before.

    I wonder if SID 1015 is just a temporary measure until the entire market is up and running...then they will move it to SID 41 out of Atlanta. (Just like they did with the old Cell One out of Newnan and the Bell Atlantic (VZW) switch in Gainesville.

    I did a check earlier on the Cellular One webpage and some zip codes give you TDMA phones, and others CDMA phones. Macon, Columbus and Augusta all give CDMA phones. The rest still TDMA. Im getting the next wave to get CDMA by beginning of April is the Alabama markets and Savannah. Then the rest of GA will be done by August.

    Well, that certainly seems to reinforce my belief that the ex-Price markets nearest Atlanta will be folded into VZW's Atlanta switches... I wonder what VZW is going to do with the other markets; I could see one or two switches in Albany (the most central city to Savannah, P.C., Montgomery, Dothan, etc.) covering all of them...
