Unfortunately, I have heard that phone is no longer being made. Hopefully there is another option. Friends who use it like it. It's probably similar to the Haven but, I've heard that the voice is better.
Good luck.

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.
