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.

not all phones need to call.
