I may be wrong on this but wasn't a law passed that all cell phones made after a certain date (couple of years ago) had to have GPS locater options included in the unit. This law was passed to allow a person to make an emergency call from anywhere and the dispatcher could find their location. This would solve the problem with using your call phone outside your registered call area. Would also help resolve the three county location question.
The GPS function I am referring to is not one used for personal use such as finding restaurants. I know by old Sanyo cell phone and my current Blackberry both have this feature.
