verizon service at 1900

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

I would like to use a phone in 1900MHz only. Is there a way to set the
phone so that it defaults to a 1900MHz and stay there. The phone I have
is a dual band phone that works in 850 and 1900.

Maybe he lives in a verizon area like I do that is 1900 MHz only. It
could save battery life not searching both bands.

It probably depends on your phone. I know my VX4400 has a menu somewhere
(possibly in the service menu, I forget) where I can set it to AMPS only,
CDMA only, CELLULAR only, or PCS only (which is what you want); the only
possibility left out is to block both PCS and AMPS at the same time.
