All cell phones (except for analog and TDMA models, those towers are being
shut down in February) should still work for 911 calls after being deactivated. 
If anybody wants a free Motorola C139 (GSM, works where ATT or T-mobile have
service) or Nokia 2285 (CDMA, works almost everywhere, but it's larger) for
use as a 911 phone, let me know. (or for $20 every 90 days, you could keep
them active via Tracfone)

I was thinking about this yesterday.  Why use suicide bombers if you can
detonate simply by placing a phone call?  Seems too easy...

the US Army is starting to buy Macs because of the perceived better

You'd think that sooner or later they would run our of eager- beaver

Larry,

There should be several groups (private and local govt) that collect  
used cell phones and program them for use as 911 call ONLY.  Given to  
folks on public assistance rolls...

Another alternative, though not ecologically correct, is using them
for skeet --- there have been many times when I've though could be the
best use for one.

Re: [MBZ] ok mac heads

2007-12-30 Thread John M McIntosh
I read somewhere there is a market for used cell phones (well I'm not  
sure you get paid for them).

Apparently they are refurbished or recycled. If refurbished they are  
then sold into third world countries
where cell phones are likely the only way to get phone service. See  
other diesel lists notes about STEALING copper wire, aka telephone  
lines

Let's see NYTimes archives...

Ah yes, link to

http://www.recellular.com/recycling/donatePhones.asp


mmm even a program to get phones to usa military folks, and Wal-mart  
takes them (who knew)...


PS, mac head since 1984...
