CDMA is just a type of digital - just because a phone is CDMA doesn't
necessarily mean it is going have AMPS. Most cellphones sold these days are
either dual-mode (digital(cdma-or-TDMA)/AMPS) or
tri-mode(digital(cdma-or-TDMA)/PCS/AMPS)

As far as switching to analog in rural areas this is my point its possible
your carrier only covers it by a roaming agreement with another carrier by
the usage of amps since the digital technologies don't match

I have found that in sparse areas I prefer analog to digital cause I know
when I'm going to get dropped by the amount of static vs the silence

I notice our phones always switch to analog out here at home.

What kind of digital phone do you have that switches to analog?
