Barb, and everyone, the part of the voice mail in the prepaid verizon phones 
where you could press 2 in voice mail to make a message to another verizon 
customer. I don't know exactly when that was eliminated from the voice mail 
but I noticed it gone in november. I't's not anything I absolutely need or 
would use all the time. Mostly I used it with 2 friends, which besides phone 
calls we used that method of messaging to keep in touch.  I just thought I 
would mention it since it wasn't always that way.
