rockjock,
I live in a remote area as well. I understand the value of analog service. Unless you are in a metropolitan area, the difference in analog and digital is the difference between being able to send/receive a call and not being able to send and receive a call. I'm sure that about 96% of the people who have/use a mobile phone live in the city and don't have a clue why you would want to use analog.
Even if you lived in a major area, I would not recommend ripping out the factory phone. I have seen far too many posts here recommending that. 20 years or so from now there will be someone jubilant by finding a nineties MB with a factory phone intact.
For a person who lives in the city, and have a nice MB with factory phone, they should just deactivate it, leave it alone and use their handheld.
Have a great day,
