Vince, that actually sounds about when I noticed the change. I know what I
said before, but it just dawned on me that when we purchased that additional
gusto III it was november of 2014 not 2015 and it's been over a year. Time
really flies when the timing of something gets muddled up in your mind. I
remember up until at least the summer of 2014 my 2 friends and I were still
using the voice mail for messaging some of the time. one of my friends and I
both lived in joplin, Missouri at the time and we were both on prepaids and
my other friend is in new york and she's on a regular plan. Are you on a
regular plan or do you have the prepaid service? I was just curious since I
haven't had a chance to ask my friened that's on the regular plan, which I
don't know what you'd call it since verizon no longer does contracts. It's a
small thing really, but if it was aliminated from even the phones on the
regular plans, that would be kind of disappointing.
