Is there anyway to change the beep of an incoming DC to something else? With
my company giving out Nextels, when one beeps, everyone is looking at their
phone. Is there a way I can change mine to something different?
Phone is an i95cl

Re: Changing DC Beep
you can change your alert to any ringer or ringtone you want, thats about
it. Tell people to send you private alerts and you'll be all set.

Ok, third time: he's not trying to change "Alert".
He's trying to change "ba-da-beep". And you can't.

Re: Changing DC Beep
I thought he was referring to the beep after each push of the button. I
could live without that constant beeping.

He is, and -- if you think about it for a moment, you'll realize --
no, you can't.

Re: Changing DC Beep
Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that after the
initial contact (& first beep) the channels would automatically switch as
needed and this would be transparent to the user. The computer system knows
where both phones are & as long as they don't relocate there should be no
need for all the beeping. The beeps thereafter, I thought are only for a
indicator as to when the other person has stopped talking. Does that make
any sense?

Nope. Sorry. :-) I'm not certain how Nextel's iDEN internal
network routing actually flies, but in general, on *any* digital
trunking system, there's *always* a go-ahead-and-talk beep of some
stripe, so that the user doesn't end up talking when the system
isn't going to be able to get the packets there.
Note that this does *not* necessarily apply to *analog* trunking
systems, like 900MHz public safety stuff, wherein, as you note, the
system sometimes dedicates a channel to the conversation once it finds
one.
Annoyingly enough, the Nextel system *could* have made it possible to
interrupt people, but they didn't bother. Guess what: you can do it
anyway: *switch modes* all the way around to Private again, then key
up.
Cheers,

Re: Changing DC Beep
Motorola SmartNet & SmartZone, Erricsson EDACS, and Johnson trunking
systems that are utilized in public safety applications "all beep back"
at you when a channel grant has been provided to the user when
programmed to do so in the radio. I have personally managed 3 or the 4
types mentioned above and have seen the 4th one in use in MiamiDade
County (FL). Now the portable can be programmed so it doesn't beep, but
most of the systems program the radio to give the user the channel grant
beep.
Also there are no 900 MHz allocations dedicated to public safety. They
reside in 800 either interleaved with NEXTEL (and other CMRS carriers)
or in the 821 MHz NPSPAC allocation in addition to UHF and VHF.

Re: Changing DC Beep
Motorola, is the people to call...
I had many custom things done to my old i700 by them.
