Re: Verizon Push and Wait to Talk
Hey, I have an idea for this Larry person....let's travel the 50 states
and see who makes the most phone calls...oh wait, Nextel is only in 34
states and runs on a "radio freq!" Well, we know what will happen. No
worries, you can use mine if you need too!!! (= (i think a 2 way pager
gets more service than Nextel)

A two way pager works great, as long as you don't have to use it to
talk back to the paging system. Paging systems are one way with 500
watt transmitters from the tallest towers they can get. Unlike
cellular or trunked radio systems, all paging transmitters on a
channel are all sending out the same data as powerful as they can.
Having high stability master oscillators on an FM system with so many
simultaneous, synchronized transmitters online at once, paging easily
overcomes the multipath, conflicting signals that tears up any
modulation scheme cellular phone system. My old POCSAG pager would
beep and display its data when you could hardly hear the signal, at
all, on a scanner hooked to a much bigger antenna system than the tiny
loop antenna in the UHF pager on 462 Mhz.
Many cellular users forward their important no-answer-transfer calls
to a paging system terminal because paging's answering machines still
continue to notify much more reliably than digital cellular.

Re: Verizon Push and Wait to Talk
While D/C is not for everyone- This statement is just not true.
I can D/C with as little as two button presses and be talking in about three
seconds.
This person has never used nextel D/C - obviously.
Lets see - 7 buttons + send - wait for PSTN to take call - wait for ring -
phone rings a couple times (probably 15-20 seconds)
and you say calling via PSTN is easier that D/C?
Now You may not like D/C and that is your right to that opinion- but D/C is
faster that PSTN.
PSTN=public switched telephone network. (usually - UGHHH verizon)

I am talking about verizon's PTT, not the Nextel D/C system.

Re: Verizon Push and Wait to Talk
You are correct! But I believe the Talkabout (at least my friend's old one
he got from AT&T) has 462mhz also. It had "recieve only" signal where my
Panasonic Duramax only wished it had any sorto f signal signal. (it would
roam on any TDMA system, I never cought it 'holding' me out)
I'd love to see a conventional pager system addon for cellphones for vm
notification and text messages. Truely solid national cellular coverage
isn't realistic in the near future, but this would be be using existing
technologies.
I'd pay a few extra bucks a month for voicemail notifcation and incoming
text messages *anywhere* in the region. It'd be worth it to know when
somebody *NEEDED* me - so I could either haul ass to the next area with
cellular service or find a landline.
And yeah, incoming-only pagers work damn near anywhere - I'm sure with the
extra space for an antenna in the cellphone, it'd work even better.
