Today stumbled upon a used Motorola Bag Phone (3 watt transmit
power) for
sale cheap. Being the cautious type I called Verizon to see if it
could be
reactivated. Quick answer was NO. Question: Does anybody know of any
service
provider who will reactivate these?
I take it from your name that you are in the US. So my experience may
or may not help. I also bought a cheap analogue bag pone for use on
my boat and checked with Bell-Mobility. They told me: "No Problem.
Just add it to you existing digital service." There is a cost
involved but not exorbitant.
Next question: My 'bag phone' was previously used in a car and it's
antennae used the car body as a ground plane. Has anyone used such a
phone on a glass boat and what did they use for ground?
