Old Phones Can't be Activated Anymore

We were told by Alltel that they could not re-activate any of our old
phones because they did not have GPS for the E911. The ones we have
are Motorola V.60 phones not antiques.

They said it is a new Federal law.

So don't plan on using older phones for much of anything.

(I believed 'em so we have a rack of new Razors on the way.)

Older phones that are already activated are grandfathered in but
you can't change the number or anything.
