Re: Power Pack Suggestions needed

>> Looks as if I can disable/turn off GPS directly: You can turn off GPS entirely by turning location services off using the on/off button at the top, or alternatively you can turn off GPS to individual apps using each individual on/off button.
	* Having GPS off might make some of your apps stop working. However, each app should alert you should there be an issue.

Thanks for helping me understand what I needed to research.  I had been googling the wrong words.

Yes, the iPhone 4S on Verizon has a micro sim.  You can see the tiny slot on the right side of the phone.  However, don't mess with removing the SIM - it's easy to lose.  Just disable it with the SIM PIN.

And, yes, the phone stats I referred to earlier were with the phone in airplane mode and all the other recommendations made for saving battery power.  The key is that when the SIM is locked and you take the phone out of airplane mode, you can still use GPS without the phone trying to find a carrier signal.
