Cloning Digital Phone to Analog

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Hi-

I just got a new (to me) car and it has an integrated Motorola phone,
an analong one. It was put in in 1997. I'd like it to ring when my
handheld LG VX3200 does, so if I'm driving I can talk handsfree and
have voice-activated dialing. A friend of mine said that I could
"clone" my car phone so it thinks it is my handheld. He showed me
these steps but I'm not sure if I'm programming it right becuase it
doesn't ring and I can't call out...

1)press FCN, press 0000000000000 (13 zeros)
2)Press RCL
-phone displays "01"
3)Enter sys ID press ** (my SID is 00154)
4)Enter Area COde press **
5)enter cell number press **
6)enter station class mark 05 press ** (what is this and is 05 right?)
7)enter acsess overload class (0+2nd lass didgit of cellnumber) Press
** (is this right?)
8)enter group id mark 05 press ** (I enter 05 here like it says)
9)enter 6 didgit security code 000000 press ** (this works)
10)enter 3 didgit unlock code 123 press ** (this works)
11)enter paging channel 0333 press ** (what is this, and my phone
keeps reverting back to 0334, am I supposed to have 0334 instead of
0333?)
12)press*
13)press*

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

What this boils own to is, you can program the phone with your account
information, but it still won't work unless you either call CS or go online
and change the ESN associated with your account. And if you do that, then
your handheld won't work any more. It is not possible to have two phones
both active on the same number at the same time.
