[Electronics-Talk] cell phone shopping

[Arlene]

Sandra, There are 2 very accessible feature phones, button phones. The gusto 
3 for verizon which I have as a prepaid, and the t-199 for t-mobile, both 
phones are samsung phones. Both phones talk all the menues, you could put in 
your own contacts, send and read text messages, write a shopping list in the 
memo or notepad section, the use of the calculator, the time, and you could 
go on the internet to some extent. The gusto 3's voice is quite pleasant, 
and the t-199 sort of reminds me of serie's voice. I can do a lot with these 
phones and it's not complicated. I got an android phone and really tried to 
get it figured out, I just haven't taken to the touch screen, not yet 
anyway. I really love these 2 phones I already have, and  all I need in a 
phone is here in both these phones. It very much reminds me of when we used 
our nokia phone with mobile speaks. If you're on a regular plan with verizon 
the gusto 3 costs about $90, and as a prepaid the gusto 3 costs $20 at most 
stores except at walmart the gusto 3 is $12.87. If you could get an unlocked 
t-199, you would be able to use it on t-mobile or a t and t. The t-199 costs 
$20 at walmart and also at other stores. There's always newer phones and 
phones are discontinued from the phone plan. I have a few friends that are 
on verizon and wanted to get a new gusto 3, but in their area verizon didn't 
sell them, so I don't know if one could still get that phone on a verizon 
plan. It may not do some of the neat things that a smart phone does but both 
these phones are quite accessible, just a regular button phone that you 
could do a lot with.
