Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / January 2004Has anyone used the analogue module for Nokia
Was thinking of getting one to use as on the back-up phone when travelling in BC and rural areas. How good is it and is it "buggy"? One of the first phones I had from Fido was the Nokia 6190 with the analog module. I still keep it in my car when I travel. It works very well on the Bell network, but I've never been out West so I can't say for B.C. All around, I'd say it's been one of Fido's best phones. > One of the first phones I had from Fido was the Nokia 6190 with the analog > module. I still keep it in my car when I travel.

I have the Nokia analog module also but on a 5190. I use it as a back up phone when I go up north in Squamish or Prince George or anywhere there's no Fido digital coverage. I get a pretty good reception when I am in around town but not deep inside forests. But I guess it's the same for any other analog phone.

It's not on Ebay or should I say, none of the sellers are in Canada. I have one that I would be willing to sell you and I'm in Ottawa. > "RRoSaLeS" <rrosales@mybc.com> wrote in message . > : [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Where can I pick one up?

That analog module works on these two models only (well, I don't know if it works on 7190 also). If you do have this phones, call CS and ask them that you want an analog module. They might still have some in their stockroom. Or, you can call each Fido store around where you live and ask them if they still have it. It was $75 3 years ago. The other option that you have is to get your self a Nokia 6340. Its regular price is $350 without activation and $300 with new activation. If you are eligible for a HUP, then you might be able to get it for a lot less. AFAIK, the maximum rebate Fido gives is $191. Call CS -- that's 611 on your Fido.

I haven't checked out their flagship location in downtown. I'd like to try before I buy. I have a 5190. We dont want to shell out the big bucks for the 6340. We'll be upgrading to either the M55 or Motorola V60i, or perhaps another newer model in the new year. Ideally, we'd like to have the module as a back-up. I've got a brand new one - still sealed. I'm located in Richmond. > "RRoSaLeS" <rrosales@mybc.com> wrote in message . > : [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Where can I pick one up?

The telus network is not good in many locations, but it does work. Andrew > One of the first phones I had from Fido was the Nokia 6190 with the analog > module.

Not good in many locations? If it only works sometimes, well, then it's not of any use to me. I remember my first analogue phone from Cantel way back when. Coverage was very good in rural areas. : I do exactly the same, it lives in my glove box for use on the Telus : network here in BC.
