It was superior to the newer phone it replaced, I only replaced it when my carrier switched to CDMA and my TDMA startac seemed to have no range. I got a new V266 camera phone, and after using this for a while, I ordered a used CDMA Startac off eBay. My carrier can not seem to activate it because they cannot load their preferred roaming list. It says "Invalid Entry". They don't seem to have a problem with the non 911 GPS. This was an old Verizon phone. Any ideas what might work, or what Startac might work? Thanks.

It is by far the best wireless phone ever made! A few years ago I purchased a few on eBay so that I would have a backup supply in the event that anything happened to my existing one. In January I got my phone wet and it stopped working. I tried to activate one of my backups, and Verizon refused because it wasn't GPS enabled. Luckily, I was able to dry out my old phone and get it working again. I'm hoping that Verizon will change its policy in the future. I’m still using my StarTac.
