[comp.dcom.telecom] Questions About Fujitsu Cellular Phones

amanda@mermaid.intercon.com (Amanda Walker) (06/13/90)

I recently bought a Fujitsu 7300ST transportable cellular phone (at
$180+tax, it finally hit my price/performance decision point :-)), and
have been quite happy with it.  However, being a technoid, I quickly
came up with some questions about it that my local Cellular One people
couldn't (or wouldn't) answer, and so I'd be interested in
corresponding with anyone who knows stuff about these phones.  In
particular:

 - It is extremely obvious from inspection of this and other Fujitsu 7300
   series phones that they consist of separate modules that are put together
   into the standard configurations.  Is it possible to buy individual pieces,
   either from Fujitsu or through a dealer?  For example, I can see wanting
   to buy a battery pack or the handsfree handset at some point, but I have
   no interest in buying a whole new phone...

 - Through a strange set of circumstances, I was given (unsolicitedly) the
   magic keystroke sequence that puts the phone into "program mode."  This
   will no doubt come in handy if I move (since I can reprogram the phone
   number myself instead of paying far too much money for a dealer to do it),
   but I am now curious about what all the options actually are.  The NAM
   entries and the lock code are pretty obvious, but there are a bunch more
   in there.  They're probably useless, but hey...

Thanks.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Fujitsu or Cellular One except
as an extremely satisfied customer.
