Hi

I just found my old phones. It's a Motorola V360 and Motorola C261.

I'm bored. I just wanted to play around with them. Are there any hardware and software hacks these phones?

What's the best thing I can do with them?

You probably don't have a license to use their spectrum, so trying to make them into a slaved pair of digital walkie-talkies or cellphone jammers might get you in trouble.

They might be fun to disassemble. Practice your desoldering. Turn them into a work of art. Rebuild the case in clear acrylic. Explode it on YouTube.

Suppose I did have a licence, how would one hypothetically be able to make 'em cellphone jammers:D.
