You can do something like that with Verizon, too. My contract runs out in August.

AT&T does not do contracts, but they will let you make monthly payments
for the phone. I think they also have a kind of lease plan where you can
upgrade every year or two.

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.
