Verizon Draws a Line in the Sand
I was trying to activate an older Verizon phone the other day and after 20 minutes of going through the process with the support person on the phone, I was told that they could not activate my phone because it was not E911 compatable. He said this was a relatively new policy and that they will not activate any phone that do not have E911 capabilities. This makes it impossible for us to test any more of the older, non-E911 phones; we've got a lot oof the 2003-2004, but we won't be able to test the very old phones.I would think this should flush those older devices out of the market faster than usual as well.
So if you are buying older Verizon phones to test your products, make sure they are E911 enabled phones.
