On the contrary the CDMA/TDMA phones still use the same band as the AMPS
units. As far as listening to conversations there are a few analog signals left but towers limit the amount of analog conversations as they take up a lot more space than digital. Analog seems more prevalent for customers from a TDMA provider traveling in a CDMA market or vise versa. So to answer his question - yes you can but you aren't going to here too much "T-bone" wrote in message 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. |
