Extended Network vs. Analog Signal. Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon () If you have a choice of having a tri-mode phone pick-up a signal on 'Extended Network" or pick-up an analog signal (i.e., force the Analog) , is it always going to be better...

phone's ability to hold a signal compared to a tri-mode phone. I will say, though, that the tri-mode will go to an analog signal if it's preferred in the PRL, even if a digital signal is available. Without the analog capability, you'd still be able to...

it were me i'd definitely go for a tri-mode phone. there are lots of places in the country where analog is alive and well. the verizon network, for instance, may be all digital but that doesn't mean that all of their partner systems (extended networks)...

it should not switch to an analog signal. I will try it and see what happens. Of course, these were the same people that kept confusing the "Analog Only" option with an "Analog" option. > 2. The only thing that works for me is to place the backlight...

upgrade their networks from analog to more-efficient digital technology, according to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. Analog cellphone service relies on a continuously variable radio signal to transmit a call, similar to the...

questions about that: does that mean that a tri-mode Sprint phone would pick up the SAME analogue signal as my Verizon phone in the outer reaches of Marin, where I sometimes rely on an analogue signal? Does that mean that when a 1900 MHZ Sprint signal...
