>> I, also, have a Haven with Verizon and am very satisfied with it.  Have 
>> you
>> asked if you can transfer the Haven to the new company?   Alternatively 
>> do
>> they have the Haven on their list of phones?  Also, you may want to 
>> compare
>> prices for an individual plan with Verizon on your own, compared  with 
>> the
>> new plan with the other company.  There may not be much difference since
>> Verizon's plans with old-school phones are not real expensive.
>>
>> Good luck, and I am interested in your results.  I look forward to seeing
>> you in Orlando and finding a brewed adult beverage.

>> Warm Regards,

>> I have been a Verizon customer for years and for the most part have been
>> happy with them.  My phone needs are simple.  That's why I am still using
>> The Haven because it is the only phone I know of that will read the 
>> menues
>> in which I am interested those being:  speaking incoming calls/texts,
>> reading sent and received texts, the call log, the contact list, and the
>> phone status menu. I think that's all I use.  I absolutely unequivocally 
>> do
>> not want an iPhone.  Please do not take offense to this.  We all have our
>> personal preferences and this is mine.  I would prefer pushing buttons to
>> get to the things I want but if I have no other way, I would concede to
>> voice, though I don't think this is always practical and have some other
>> personal feelings about this which I am trying to overcome but it is a 
>> very
>> difficult personal thing for me also.  I like the phone to talk to me.  I
>> don't care if I never say a word to it.

>> Back to the Verizon thing, our family is currently on my son's plan as 
>> his
>> portion is discounted for his work with the city.  The rest of them
>> currently have unlimited data which is going to be a thing of the past
>> whenever anyone upgrades, and so my son is preparing to make a move to T
>> mobile, hence my reason for asking these questions.  Do any of you know
>> anything about T mobile's service?  Is there any program/application I 
>> can
>> get to cause those menues to speak?  I don't even mind going with a 
>> screen
>> overlay.  I know many of you are not in favor of those but feel that I 
>> would
>> definitely need one if I were going to use the screen, because I often 
>> dial
>> phone numbers rather than going to a list to have them called for me. 
>> Call
>> it an exercise in memory or whatever but then sometimes we have to dial a
>> number that isn't on our contact list and I would really prefer not to 
>> speak
>> the number.  As I said, I would if I had to.
>>
>>
>>
>> So taking all of these things into considerations and without hearing how
>> great your iPhones are, could anyone please give me some suggestions or
>> direct me to a list that may deal effectively with such matters?  I know 
>> I
>> had asked Verizon if they could just eliminate the data from one of their
>> more upgraded phones and they say they can't.  I find it difficult to
>> believe this but would, even though reluctantly, accept such a plan if 
>> that
>> was what I had to do.  I'm not opposed to such, just don't feel the 
>> personal
>> need for such.  I don't want my phone to do everything but wipe my 
>> backside.
>> I just want a phone.  The reading and the music, I'll leave to my Victor
>> Stream or to my desktop computer.  If everything is all-in-one, if 
>> anything
>> goes out, you lose everything and I find that the simpler I can keep
>> something, the less likely it is to break.  That's not necessarily true 
>> but
>> in observing the problems my family has had with avarious phones against 
>> my
>> simple ones, I can tell you hands down I have had little to no trouble 
>> for
>> years, but I do suffer the sometimes lack of service and the slow service
>> (the latter not really being much of a problem for me), but for the most
>> part my few needs are served.  My favorite is the good old flip phone, 
>> not
>> nearly so apt to accidentally dial something/someone I don't currently 
>> want
>> to, pocket dial, I believe they call it.  I could tell you some funny
>> stories about doctors and such with their cell phones but that is 
>> probably
>> best left unsaid in this post.  Give me a good old flip phone any time 
>> but
>> likely those will be hard to come by and particularly to do all the
>> particulars I request, though few.
>>
>>
>>
>> Sorry for the rather long post but I'm really hoping that I can find a
>> satisfactory answer.

>> Respectfully of each opinion I am,
