Tuning a small mobile phone I don't think is possible. Better look for the U.S. version.
There' been floating around for a little over a decade now the discussion and designs for an AMPS repeater that fit in a briefcase. The idea was that a (then modern) CDMA phone was passing the call on through a heavily modified AMPS phone unit, much like the walkie-talkie idea.

Problem is however that with AMPS deallocated, running the repeater now bleeds into several bands and it's extremely illegal. The page seems to pop up from time to time in different places before it disappears again due to legal threats most likely.
