Not exactly true...but I wouldn't be trying to use one of these anyway. The microwave radiation coming off of one of these is not brain-friendly.

The FCC mandated a 5 yr "sunset" period in 2002 where the cellular companies were required to provide analog coverage. That is what just recently expired. So, the companies "may" but are no longer "required" to provide analog service as a result. Verizon is one of the major companies that ceased AMPS coverage, but others may or may not be doing it immediately.
