Before modern day phones where you had direct control of GPS (circa 2004ish), I had my phone stolen and filed a police report. I called my phone company at the time (Sprint) and they would not lift a finger to use the built in GPS to find where it was despite the police standing in front of me at the time after I had filed the report. The police were willing to do something, but Sprint said they couldn't. Such things always made me question why they bothered mandating having GPS in "dumb phones" in the first place. Obviously there's other reasons, but none that seem to help consumers.
