Discontinued Models

Motorola "Bag Phone"

Motorola historically offered RJ-11 adapters for many of their product lines. The 'Soft-PAK Tote Phone' more commonly referred to as a 'bag phone' is the workhorse product in this category.

By cellular standards the bag phone is a fairly powerful 3 watt cellular telephone that can be attached to an external directional antenna. There have been a few models of the RJ-11 adapter that connect between the handset and the phone base.

This device has been supported for years and is the preferred device by users however it is nearly extinct. Service providers may be hesitant to activate new analog service required by the bag phone.

This device is discontinued and analog service has been discontinued in most areas.
