No, we do currently have, and was thinking a stand just for a
battery, in addition to the fact that the battery on the phone can be
recharged by plugging the phone into a charger. I believe you are
thinking correctly, interpreting what we intended.

Is that "old hat?" :-) Now, with newer phones, you should just plug
the phone into a charger -- even if it is an A/C, house, charger?

Hey... looking again, just now, it looks like the coverage area for
CDMA (on ecallplus.com) is very much larger than the GSM. I was thinking
GSM would be what we would transition to. However, should I consider
CDMA?

Or, will CDMA be phased out, like TDMA is about to be?
