Evelyn, along with t-mobile no longer doing contracts, thanks for 
informing
us that verizon no longer does contracts.  I wonder if a t and t 
or sprint
have gotten away from contracts yet as well.  It's really good to 
know about
verizon.  As far as the lg 450 when I searched for it on the 
internet, it
mentioned t-mobile and the family mobile.  If it's on any other 
networks if
anyone knows, that would be interesting to find out.  I don't 
know if the lg
450  was unlocked if it would work on verizon.  It's just  a 
matter of asking
at the store or calling the customer service.I would also be 
interested to
know which other accessible feature phones are on verizon besides 
the gusto
III.

 Hi,

 Verizon does not do contracts any more.  Cellphone companies are 
doing
 away with contracts.  You'll have to contact Verizon about what 
that phone
 costs.  I have an LG with Verizon, which I have had since 2011, 
so I can't
 comment further on this topic.

 Ashley, There's an accessible flip phone for verizon I'm going 
to tell you
 about, though the lg 450 is a flip phone that runs on either 
t-mobile and
 family mobile that's on t-mobile.  The accessible flip phone 
that runs on
 verizon is the gusto III made by samsung..  All the menues talk, 
you could
 write in your contacts, write text messages, go into settings, 
note things
 in the notepad area, calculator, set ringtones easily and more.  
I have
 the
 gusto III with verizon as a prepaid which  at Walmart costs 
$12.88.  I
 have
 some friends that have the gusto III on a verizon contract plan 
and the
 gusto III for the contract plans cost about $90.  I know of a 
few people
 that
 are both on a contract plan with verizon that each needed a new 
gusto III
 and for some reason they couldn't get it, but that could just be 
true for
 certain parts of the country.  So if you're on a contract plan 
with
 verizon
 see if you could get the gusto III on your plan.  The unlimited 
service
 with
 the prepaid is $35.  2 things about the gusto III, when you 
close the
 phone
 it will tell you the time and date, and each time you open the 
phone
 you'll
 hear the voice of the activation voice  for you to please say a 
command,
 which is no trouble, just press the end key when you open the 
phone.  The
 phone, anyway to me, has a pleasant voice.  If you have someone 
assisting
 you
 in one of the stores most of the sales associates know how to 
turn the
 speech on, but if you get one that isn't familiar what you want 
is full
 read
 out.  My neighbor across the street was able to turn the speech  
on, on
 one
 of my gusto threes so it's not that hard to do.  Along with all 
that you
 have
 caller id too.  I really love this phone.

Worth It


 is this lg phone a flip phone with buttons?
 Do you know if it runs on the verizon network? I've always 
wanted a more
 accessible phone but I'd rather have a simple flip phone.
 Since my phone only speaks incoming calls, I cannot read texts 
that come
 in and that is important.

 Marsha, On saturday I got the lg450, and it is a nice little 
phone.  I'm
 just
 exploring the phone and getting use to it, which won't take 
long.  I like
 the
 calculator in the phone.  I tried sending a text message which I 
was able
 to
 write, but I couldn't seem to find the option to send the 
message.  I did
 find the delivery options.  I'm going to see if I could figure 
it out.  I
 got
 the phone at walmart with family mobile.  I also went on the 
internet with
 it
 for a while, where it had the news stories.  I was just 
wondering if you
 knew
 the subscribing directions for the lg phone list.  Thank you.

 Arlene

 HI
  The model of the LG cell phone is LG450.  It is a flip phone.  
It is 3G
 capable.  It has Bluetooth connectivity.  It is a straight phone 
keypad.
 It can do E-Mail, text messaging, and internet, I don't use this 
feature.
 Text to speech and voice commands.  It's nothing fancy but a 
nice little
 phone.  I know it works on T-Mobile and Family Mobile.

 Marsha
