I had written an article about this subject here some days ago, to bring some insider (as to location) background, to explain the cellular telephone curiosity to use in East Berlin, but sadly enough my follow-up posting on this subject (the first ever I wrote, beeing new to the NEWS) never showed. I probably have to learn how to do it. I had said also, and this is a correction to the foregoing article, East and West German postal departments have agreed that it is fully LEGAL to use a West German car or portable phone across the border, simply because the East German telephone network is a DISASTER, and business is almost IMPOSSIBLE if you have to rely on their system. So to encourage the badly needed companies from the western world, they even encourage people to use their wireless home phones in East Berlin. There is no charge for many months now if you wish to take your wireless equipment from West to East Germany. Even CB is allowed, also ham-radio. In that regard, the two Germanies are already united. So really forget all those old restrictions.
