Can IDEN phones roam on Sprint's PCS network?
I recently heard rumor from a local dealer in TN that soon IDEN phones will be able to roam freely on Sprint's network. I am just curious if this is true?
...
I don't see how that would be possible since they operate on two diffrent networks
...
is it going to be from nextel or sprints side? and will we be able to talk to nextel and sprint people with that phone with the push to talk? and when is this phone comming out?...thanks
...
The phone will use iDEN only for Direct Connect. Interconnect calls will be on the CDMA side.
...
will it be able to ptt on the cdma ready-link service?
^not that it really matters, i mean, honestly, how many people really use RL? but it would just be interesting to see a phone that can ptt with BOTH services, basically, broadening the businessman's ptt horizons

Have they started making comments about slowly disolving ReadyLink??? I'm kinda' curious how this is all going to work. I mean, Sprint hooked up Ford Motors with a s***load of ReadyLink phones...
...
they arent going to be disolving readylink yet.
as mentioned there will be 2 types of phones.
1. with the gateway
2. with the iden network for ptt and cdma network for ev-do and voice.

actually thats wrong...
they will be using readylink with one of the phones that will be using the gateway on it. the 2nd one wont be though.

yes you will be able to ptt on the ready link service.
as mentioned previously there will be 2 types of phones
1. with the gateway between readylink and direct connect
2. the use of iden with ptt and cdma with ev-do and voice.

...
you are just saying the one phone though.. as mentioned there will be 2 types.
...
well there will be 2 types of these phones...
1. with the gateway and
2. with the ability to use iden just has ptt and cdma with voice.
these phones should come out with in 2 years.

...
what will happen is that there will be dual mode iden/cdma phones that will basically have the push to talk of iden and the voice of cdma and ev-do.
hope that helps..
hope that helps..
...
that's cool. I wonder if we will get that up here in Canada. Telus already runs both a CDMA and IDEN networks.
...
anything is possible, but it is up to the manufacturer to do that. it also depends if there is demand for that phone etc..
