This device operated on the Clearnet network. Clearnet Communications was a Canadian cellular telephone service provider which operated from 1984 to 2000. On August 21, 2000 Clearnet was wold to Telus Corp. at an announced value of $6.6 billion, the largest telecommunications acquisition in Canadian history. At the point of sale, Clearnet had acquired the largest block of available wireless spectrum of any wireless player in Canada and served approximately 700,000 Canadian users. This launched Telus as a national brand, and they have since become a top mobile vendor in Canada. - Function
-
To send and receive voice and data signals via analog cellular radio networks. - Technical
-
Prior to its merger with Telus Mobility in 2000, Clearnet developed an innovative cell phone marketing system, where their phones were sold at various retail stores, in addition to their own. To activate a Clearnet cell phone (that was not purchased at one of the chain stores), the customer called the company and provided their credit card, social insurance number, driver's licence number, and billing information, and if approved, set up their Clearnet account over the phone. Clearnet operated a CDMA-based personal communication (PCS) service network and an iDEN-based cellular network called MIKE. Following its merger with Telus, Clearnet's PCS service was incorporated into the existing Telus Mobility network, while the Mike system was kept as a separate service under its original name. - Area Notes
