It's not definite yet, as I'm going to try a spare battery this evening, but it appears that my phone has bit the dust. Since the plan the phone is on is not in my name, nor paid by me, I do not have the option of renewing it for a free/cheap phone....
sooo, who has a Verizon phone they're no longer using?
Unfortunately, I have to be picky: the phone needs to be "Chaperone - Child" capable... but that's pretty much my only requirement.

My Dad and I both use "Child" chaperone phones as a safety measure on motorcycle trips, since we both travel alone a lot. A lot of police departments won't activate the "911 Locator" until you've been missing for 24-48 hours, which would probably leave you dead if you've had a motorcycle accident. By using the Chaperone feature we can get an exact location and take alternative recovery steps ourselves. It might sound silly, I don't know, but it's worth the peace of mind.
Footnote: the "Child" feature is important in this arrangement, as the "Parent" phone cannot be located through the Web interface (however, the "Parent" phone can forego the Web interface and locate any of the child phones on the plan directly). The "Parent" phone on our plan sits in a drawer at my Dad's house and never gets used.

I forgot to mention: Chaperone is a GPS locator system.

I don't know if they have the feature you are looking for.
No dice 
Thanks, though.

Oh come on... He's hoping someone here has a verizon phone, for free, that has some odd feature that none of us have even heard about. It's a bit of a stretch... I was just calling it out.

I'm sure the thought of a new phone had at least crossed his mind.

He's a ginger... They don't think like the rest of us.
Anyway, it seems as if he's willing to pay for one... I wouldn't think of charging a friend for a used phone

Holy crap! I want to buy a phone! Thanks, for the brilliant suggestion on buying one, though, I hadn't thought of it.
Although Mike may not charge his friends for a used phone, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to paying for one (matter of fact, I sold one here... I paid nearly $400 for it, so I couldn't stomach giving it away). Yes, I need a phone that has a feature a lot of folks haven't heard of, but that doesn't mean that the phone won't have it - I believe 14 of the phones Verizon currently sells are capable... and if somebody doesn't know, I'll figure out if it is compatable or not.
If I can't get it here, oh well, but don't channel the Great Hate for trying to save a few bucks.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
