Are you sure it says its "Verizon Location Service Agent" and not just "Verizon Location Agent". Its also strange that its telling you that is sending "SMS messages" Verizon Location Agent is a legitimate app/service, but the "service agent" I don't know about. ShadowWolfieX I don't know about the about the Kyocera Hydro Elite phone you have, and what features you do, or don't have with that phone and its OS, but here are a couple of things I recommend: There is a Verizon app called VZ Protect (also know as Verizon Support and Protect) that guards against viruses and malware. I recommend installing that from the Google app store, and scan your system to make sure it isn't a virus or malware pretending to be a Verizon feature. You said you turned off your location and gps settings, but in your locations area in settings do you have a Mode area, and if so what do you have it set to there? Usually options are something like: high accuracy, battery saving, and device only. You may want to try with device only selected if that is an option. If it really is the Verizon Location Agent. You should be able to stop and disable the service/app by going into App Manager -> and swipe over to running or all, select Verizon Location Agent. If you're in Running you can only stop the services, but if you go to All you should have both a Force Stop, and a Disable option. Try setting it to disabled, and see if you have any problems with any of your apps, mobile data connection, or phone calls after. If you don't have any issues after you've disabled it then you can probably leave it that way.
