@c13g2000cwb.googlegroups.com:

Can you receive cellular phone calls on a modified scanner? I thought
with all phone being digital now you could not?

There is very little activity in the old cell bands - What with analog
roaming and such, there is still a little.
So yes, people advertsing their scanners as UNBLOCKED !!!!! are really saying
very little in practice - The only good reason to pay a premium to get one
would be to bank on the possibility that some other service of interest will
eventually move into this frequency region.
