| Regarding Bag Phones... They do make CDMA and GSM bagphones, although many carriers do not carry them, although they should/may offer it as a special order option.

I would think that if having a cell phone is necessary for the livelihood of your business, that the cost would basically be an expense of doing business.
I do agree that people should not have to put forth the whole cost, but what other option is there when no other cell phone would work out there after analog is turned off?
Of course this news item wasn't about analog, it was about E911-requirements, which tend to require digital cell phones, and in the case of Alltel, CDMA-based phones. |

What's the distance comparison for CDMA/GSM bag phones vs. AMPS bag phones? From what I recall, old AMPs car phones were 5W. They worked everywhere and sounded great. Nothing since has been as good, so I know digital is a downgrade, but how much in the case of the above two products? |

To be totally honest I'm not quite sure, I would assume that the digital bag phones would be close to the performance of their analog counterparts, if not better than them. I haven't had the need to read the specs or look into it, as my cell phone works where it needs to work. |
