Didn't "look" for anything in WalMart.....BEEP - NO SERVICE

If you step outside, you can see the SPCS tower from the front door. The
Alltel tower is behind some trees with AMPS and CDMA on "B" cellular 800.

No excuses....this is dangerous and needs to be STOPPED.

I still have an old 5190 and the NRM-1 AMPS module that I used
with the old Voicestream, used to love that phone for motorhoming
with, I could get a signal almost everywhere (Oregon) .

I guess its useless now (sigh)............

I always wondered how the NRM-1 module worked. Was it only Voicestream that
supported it? Is it still able to access 911 and the American Roaming
Network (credit card payment)? I guess that the 5190/6190 are not much use
anymore, with more and more GSM on 800 Mhz.

Don't know if only voicestream supported it, but it WILL dial 911 if you have
an amps signal.

I have one of those old bag phones for emergency 911 calls in the MH, you get
some great signal strength with them......
