No you can only hear Cellnet and vodafone analouge phone in the range from
917.0125-949.9875 FM 12.5 step :)

Nope, they are on 1.8GHz and even if you could receive the signal you
wouldn't hear conversation with a normal scanner both networks use GSM
technology for the radio link.

Er, methinks not *quite* right. The band isn't so wide, 915-933 IIRC,
and 25KHz steps on a 12.5KHz offset, i.e. 918.2625 would be followed by
918.2875.

To reply, replace nospam with tangon in the address.

Eh, no he is right, 915-933 is the BS, 934-950 is the mobile.

The 2 networks in question do not use GSM technology, I think its PTN,
you still cannot monitor it though.

Well actually. PCN (Orange & One2One) is the old name for mobile phones in the 1800 MHz radio spectrum. This name was used to differenciate between the old 900 MHz phones and the new phones.
PCN IS GSM 1800. This is why they can build dual band phones. You will find that GSM 1800 will become just as big as GSM 900 is today. There are already several countries in Europe with the two networks up and running.
Vodafone & Cellnet have held licences for GSM 1800 for years. It won't be long before they will start to put cells into larger towns and citiies, even buildings. Why not stick with GSM 900?? There isn't enough space for all the new handsets. So with GSM 1800 there is more space, the radio signal doesn't travel as far & building penetration is also lower. They can then build more cells closer to each other without affecting each other and therefore stuff more calls in.
I hope that this clears it up for you.

You are thinking of PCN. Although called PCN it uses GSM, and test sets
such as the 8922 offer options of selecting GSM900 and GSM1800. Our
government of the day called the service to be provided by Orange and
One-2-One a Personal Communication Network (PCN), with the idea that
each operator would cover a small part of the country and with only a
few operators in each area. This was not viable.

sorry Gary both services run at 1.8Ghz :-(
