| I didnt know that rates for digital were lower than analog since the digital
phones have a botton that lets them do analog too.
If you go digital you only have a choice of Cellular One. Ameritech doesnt
do digital.
I have a few friends with digital cellphones and they claim the range in
fringe areas is not as good as analog. You dont get
static with digitals you just get dropouts or holes in the call and
supposidly this happens before an analog call would become unusable. I
suppose thats the time to push the analog button.
If you want features like caller id your only choice is digital. |

| The improvements in digital phones has improved about 500% in the last
6 months due to new vocoders installed in most of the leading companies
mobile switches and the newer phones. I agree that the older phones do
sound bad but they are not selling the old phones anymore over the
counter. (At least AT&T Isnt) The new ones sound as good as analog and
99% of the time, I cant tell the difference. In the last year the
digital useage has jumped to about 45%! We have been adding digital
radios to our cell sites like crazy! Nokia and Ericsson, the two
largest digital phone companies, cannot keep up with the current demand
for digital phones. If someone tells you that the digital phones sound
bad, they are probably right in some respects, they just have not heard
the new ones! Or maybe your local cell provider hasnt installed the
latest vocoders into their switch! The new Ericssons will not even work
on the old digital systems, they switch to analog automatically if the
local company h. |

I have three cell phones I need to sell. They are:
Nokia 2160 (digital) $50.00
Motorola Micro-tac (analog) $45.00
Motorola 8000h (older analog) $20.00
The 2160 is probably the newest and comes with one battery and AC charger.
The Micro-tac has one battery and the car adapter.
The 8000h has a couple batteries (unknown condition), desk charger, car
adapter.
All prices are negotiable
