cingular uses 1900 or 850mhz (pretty sure it's 1900.) i think at&t and tmob use 900mhz. if anything, they can make nextel switch to a different band. and if you have a shitty phone (and since you're with nextel, you probably do,) you'll have to trade it in for a phone with a different band. or they might be able to do it by flashing the phone. nextel sucks ass anyways.

Hey Boto43,
We, "US" guys have just as much a right to be here as you do. You shouldn't get all cocky and act as if this is your forum. Sides, it's not like it's hurting you. If you didn't like it, why'd you bother to even post on this topic? Sides, you might learn something every once and a while by reading things even if they don't pertain to you.

@boto, don't worry about it mate. You've apologised so that should be good enough for them. I'm not from the us, in fact i'm from the uk, but I've been here long enough to work out what annoy's them in here :-D

I believe what they are trying to say is that they want to set aside a specific block of available frequencies for emergency use out of the 800 mhz band, which is Nextels band. It would certainly limit the number of available frequencies but not take it all away. No one said anything about giving up your phone either.

I used to have a Nextel phone. For those who have not tried or seen their phone, it's like having a phone and a two way radio at the same time in the the same handset.
Nextel users not only use their alloted frequency for making phone calls, but also to directly communicate to other Nextel users via two-way radio. This is why they are interfering with the emergency services (police, fire & emergency medical services) communications.
This shouldn't be a concern to us, GSM users. We are currently using 850Mhz, 900Mhz, 1.8Ghz and 1.9Ghz for our phones. It would be easier and cheaper for our service providers to switch between these frequencies, rather than having to replace our phones or compensating us in some way.

Boto,
Thank you, you are right, there should be a separate forum, but this seems to work out pretty well. And CrackerJack, thanks for reminding me about "DirectConnect". I totally forgot about that. I noticed that other companies are trying to copy that.
SprintPCS has PCS ReadyLink, and Verizon has something called "Push To Talk". The funny thing about Verizon is that only one phone (the Motorola V60p supports this service.

LoL, does that mean you can still use a cheap analogue scanner to listen in on shoe calls over there? They stopped using those frequencies over here(uk) years ago. In fact i think the police are supposed to be moving to the 800s as well over here.

@ crackerjack, yes I was aware of the two way radio feature. I agree with your statement.
Makes you wonder though, there are a lot less users on the emergency frequency than the regular cell user, wouldnt it be cheaper to make a whole new emergency only channel? |
