How enable GPS if I have some oddball carrier, not Sprint/Verizon/etc?

[Novicaine]

Hi,

I have an HTC 6800 that I got through my cell phone provider, IVC:
http://www.ivcel.com/

I wanted the GPS, then I got the phone and it didn't work. Called IVC, the tech guy said "We don't enable GPS for privacy, etc, policy". I said "well can't it get GPS location from satellites?" He said "No, it would need an antenna bigger than the phone." Now I read hear it does have a real GPS and theoretically I can enable it... awesome! (Unless he was really correct??)

But all the instructions in the permlinks just list ROMs for Sprint/Verizon/etc. I see none for my little old provider.

What can I do?

Thanks!!
