If only those affected could call for an appointment to swap to those low or no cost phones.

The carrier doesn’t decide that.

I literally quoted the part that required carriers to block ineligible phones.

Im sorry you were unable to percieve the sarcasm ridiculing the legislation for its shortsightedness.

that shouldn’t matter, what about those that are using phones as remote servers and the ability to call is irrelevant? What about the phones that are glorified ipods? What of the ring doorbell phones?

not all phones need to call.
