What exactly is AT & T discontinuing? We've got Nokia 1110 and 1112 cellphones... these were sold about 5 years ago, and a very low tech (small B & W screen). They are compatible with the AT & T network, although I suppose if you're getting a new phone, you probably don't need to limit yourself to AT & T as a carrier.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've been doing some measurements of cell phones for a project and this is what I have come to learn. Low Sar ratings are a good indicator that the phone will have a limit of transmission power but do not be fooled. The newer phones such as the ATA iphone will adjust the intensity of the transmission according to how close you are to the tower. This is true as I did measure the output at various distances and at times there was no reading at all from my meters. The iphone also lets you turn off all data, wifi and bluetooth and all mail functions - so it just becomes a small music player - games etc. I use it on airplane mode most of the time. Never hold it in my hand when talking, place on a table in speaker phone mode. ( This is what apple tech support will tell you to do to if you complain about the reception ) One thing that everyone needs to know is that a cell phone will call in every few minutes to tell the service provider where you are located. The phone sends out a terrible blast for about 10 seconds and most scientists feel this is the bigger problem. even if you do not use your phone to talk you are getting radiated every few minutes if it is turned on. That is why Apple says DO NOT KEEP YOUR PHONE IN YOUR POCKET. The Swiss Governent has recently updated their website with a list of recommendations about cell phone use. They say NEVER to use a cell phone in a car EVER. ( they used to say use a car arial) They feel that the effect of the radiation lasts even after you finish the call. So they are admitting that the phone effects your cognitive functioning plus many other things. They also feel that using a bluetooth is better than using a wired headset because the signal from the arial will transfer to the wire from your headset and then be absorbed by your body and cause the phone to transmit at higher levels! They feel placing the phone FAR away from you ( as far as the low power bluetooth will go about 10 feet ) and then using the bluetooth headset is the best way to make a private call.... http://www.bag.admin.ch Quite amazing advice from a government health department. In north america they say " no problem " with cell phones PS - Switzerland is home to the World Health Organization and it's obvious to see that the WHO scientists that live there tell their Swiss citizens a very different story than the WHO tells the world.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Maybe you have an analog phone? If so you might try to see if there are other carriers that still support analog. The newer phones will also have higher frequency dc converters in many cases.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Also, you shouldn't have to pay for the new phone, since they are requiring it. I'd say get the lowest SAR you can, and get a bag for shielding to keep it in, and/or take battery out when not in use. The new smart phones all have GPS chips that send out location even more regularly whether they are turned on or not. ~Snoshoe > > Maybe you have an analog phone?
