This raises for me a question regarding the frequency bands the phones can operate in:

The same model e.g. C115 operates in europe in the 900/1800 bands and in america in the 850/1900 bands. That means we can not select on the model. Are these the same phones (hardware) and simply the firmware is a little different or are there differences in hardware? If yes, is difference only the input filters which for the sniffing application have/can be removed anyway?

The goal of my question is obviously to know if we can buy phones from america and use with osmocomBB in the europe bands?

Thanks Matthias

eBay usually has OsmocomBB-compatible phones available as auctions or Buy-It-Now.

Do a search for "motorola (c115,c117,c123,c121,c118,c140,c139,c155,v171)".

Eg:

Remove any phones from the list above that you're not interested in (eg GSM850/1900 phones if you're not in North America).

Hi All.

I am a newbie to OssmocomBB, though I have been reading the mails, never actually got a chance to start working. But after watching the 27C3 video, now I am totally inspired :) The problem I am facing the unavailability of the hardware, the only phone available to me as of now is Motorola C168, Can anyone tell me if it will be compact able with OsmocomBB? I have searched in the mailing list archives but could find an answer :(

Thanks in Advance

Regards
