Carphones.

I want to install one of those old integrated carphones in my car--the phones with the spiral antenna installed on the rear fenders and the light-up LED display. I'm sure I can find a phone set but can such an item be used under current phone coverage?

How are the fees calculated? Is this under cell coverage or under landline service?

Imagine this one in a car:

As I understand it, these sorts of cell phones use an analog line and according to my current provider, AT&T, they still offer analog cell coverage with a $4.99 fee: https://supportcingular.atgnow.com/c...+Fee%3F#Goto11 I can get one of those old bag-phones as well since the module is much smaller and I can hide it under the seat rather than installing it in the trunk which seems somewhat tedious. http://www.motorola3watts.com/ Alternatively, I can have the old analog signal converted to the standard GSM by way of some sort of rather expensive "call director": http://www.motorola3watts.com/produc...products_id=76

To make my car look like a period piece.

A Mercedes-Benz SL in signal red:

I recently saw a mint Benz 560SL in brown that had its original blue vanity plates and a large carphone spiral antenna installed--it was really fabulous as it looked so incongruous in traffic. This could also be the most convenient solution: http://www.hulger.com/ This model seems appropriate: On the same note, look at this fabulous item:

Is it all the more eccentric that I also play computer games on a separate PC?
