That's true, but according to the Guardian here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-record... Verizon handed over location data to the NSA (the original court order states "comprehensive communications routing information" and "trunk identifiers" should be handed over). It's reasonable to assume that the NSA will have that information, which makes their defence that "we don't get your name" pretty laughable since they can almost certainly just derive it.
According the Washington Post and other outlets, they do have approximate location data: "So the NSA is collecting information about my location as well as who I’ve called? It appears so. Cellphones make calls using the closest tower. So if the NSA knows you made a call using a specific tower, they can safely assume you were near that tower at the time of the call."
