It's a rare chance that you may find one not initialized, but the setup channels needed to be programmed into the first bag phones. Without the analog setup channels programmed the phone will not be able to find service.
If you have an old analog phone and you are able to get service, plus get an announcement when you try to make a call, you should have a 911 capable analog phone. 73, Joe, K1ike
