That's not the problem. The problem is I was told that Verizon could not activate my other phoen becuase of a government regulation requiring all new phones that are activated to be equipped with a GPS that would become active when someone called 911 so they could locate you. I used 911 and they couldn't locate me in the middle of a city despite my phone has GPS on it because of a government regulation.
