And do you know if the OEM phone is an analog only phone? Many cellular carriers now want phones to be digital with GPS capabilities for efficiency reasons, bandwidth reasons, and regulatory reasons. If you insist on having an old analog phone activated, they sometimes will "encourage" you to go digital through certain high activation charges, etc.

I suggest you look into the phone system in the Explorer before spending money on the handset, unless you just want to have it to complete the interior.
