Hi.. friend has a mobile for sale, it's a Telecom Walkabout 400.. does anyone know how much these are worth? Are they any good? > Hi.. friend has a mobile for sale, it's a Telecom Walkabout 400.. does > anyone know how much these are worth? Are they any good? Umm...$0? Wasn't that crappy idea for a network killed off MANY years ago? Possibly the only value it would hold would be to a museum?

I remember these... you could only use them in places where there was a walkabout sign - how did they work? were they an AMPS based system, or early GSM, or something else? > "Nick Adams" <buzz@off.com> wrote in message news:43af8988$0$9289 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > walkabout sign - how did they work? were they an AMPS based system, or > early GSM, or something else? I don't know what technology they used. As I recall, though, they could be used with a home base station, much the same as a cordless phone. Once you left home, they had a different number. You had to manually log on to a local base station when you wanted to make a call. >"Nick Adams" <buzz@off.com> wrote in message news:43af8988$0$9289 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >walkabout sign - how did they work? were they an AMPS based system, or >early GSM, or something else? Technology call CT2 or Second Generation Cordless Telephone. > "Nick Adams" <buzz@off.com> wrote in message news:43af8988$0$9289 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > walkabout sign - how did they work? were they an AMPS based system, or > early GSM, or something else? Think it was trialled in Brisbane > "Nick Adams" <buzz@off.com> wrote in message news:43af8988$0$9289 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > walkabout sign - how did they work? were they an AMPS based system, or > early GSM, or something else? Isn't that Talkabout, not Walkabout? I think the Walkabouts were just standard AMPS handsets. > > "Nick Adams" <buzz@off.com> wrote in message news:43af8988$0$9289 > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Isn't that Talkabout, not Walkabout? Yeah I think you are right > I think the Walkabouts were just standard AMPS handsets. Yup, but the OP was obviously talking about Talkabout. > Yup, but the OP was obviously talking about Talkabout. oops... I meant talkabout, trialled in Brisbane. I remember the ads for it. >> > "Nick Adams" <buzz@off.com> wrote in message news:43af8988$0$9289 >> > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Yup, but the OP was obviously talking about Talkabout. No. actually I was talking about the Wallabout. Not sure if it is still working, has been in storage. > Hi.. friend has a mobile for sale, it's a Telecom Walkabout 400.. does > anyone know how much these are worth? Are they any good? I'll swap it for a Freedom 70 |
