I travel a lot for work. Over the years I have used multiple technologies to
contact home. Technology quickly becomes obsolete so I now have a pile of old
technology sitting around the house. So I took 3 of the main ones I have used
and made them into travel bugs. In keeping with the traveling and getting home
theme I am going to drop them off on different trips throughout the country with
the goal of getting them home.
This is a standard Nokia 5165 TDMA cell phone, when I found out I could connect a data cable from the phone to my laptop and connect to the internet “anywhere” I was floored. And wow it did it put my old 33.6 modem card to shame. It was used as my wireless modem from 2001 until 2003 when it was replaced by a merlin card, which was probably at least twice as fast if not more.
I still used this as a cell phone until late 2005 and still would be if TDMA had not been phased out in my area and replaced with GSM. This phone was the toughest most reliable cell phone I have ever come across.
The 3 bugs are
TBNFVK – a
USR 33.6 modem card
TBN1KV – a
Nokia 5165 TDMA cell phone
TBMVEW – a
Novatel Merlin C201 cell card
Please note that all of these bugs are all nonworking items.
