AFAIK Cell-Com is 1800 mHz only. Orange uses 900 and in many places 1800 mHz. Cell-Com and Pelephone have 800 mHz licenses, I have never heard of them using them for GSM (850). > > Thus, 850MHz version of OpenMoko turns to be mostly useless for Israel, > especially for Orange users (as I am). Probably the case. IMHO if Pelephone does indeed have a GSM 850 network, it's not worth getting entangled with them to use it. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
