E911 Question
My Toshiba-built Audiovox CDM-9900 is the best phone that I've owned. It does everything well. That is, until yesterday. My screen became damaged and is unusable. I can still receive calls and make them using one-button and voice dialing but cannot see anything on-screen.
I went to my local Verizon corporate store with my last phone, a four year old Motorola v60i, to reactivate it and use it until my New Every Two comes due in August (22 months). No, it's not worth paying $54 for a refurbished CDM-9900 at this time.
I was told that they wouldn't be able to do the v60i reactivation because Verizon's system will no longer accept pre-E911 phones due to user safety concerns.

the full answer is thanks to a bunch of tinfoil hatted lobyist last year it was decided for all cell providers that handsets must be e911 or agps compatable to be actiavted. Non e911 compliant phones will still receive service until such time as they are interupted (nonpayment, closed) or removed from the line (upgrade, swap) at that point the phone becomes a paperweight. Them Nigerians are always looking for phones, y'might want to try sending it to them. Maybe then they'll stop asking me to send them 11 RAZR's to support some kind of a coup(sp)

this is just another why for Bush and his buddies to troll our daily lives, not only do they wiretap people(everyday people) they make us pay what is it, i think it 72cents a month, just for the E911..

E911 was actually part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 signed by William Jefferson Clinton.
