Hi, Arlene,

Roger Behm has sent excellent information to this discussion.  He
caught a really good sale.  I didn't, so I had to pay $100 for
mine.  At the time I didn't have much waiting time available and
help was intermittent.  My 7-year-old LG was getting prettyiffy,
and it's slowness was failing for getting help by phone with
themess-up in my voice mail.  I had to go to two Verizon stores
before getting a Terra, but I have no regrets at all.  Like Roger
and his disife, I use mine for phone calls and can use it for
text messages.  I too have no data plan.  Someone sighted has to
turn on the accessability, but after that everything talks.

Regards,

Evelyn

Evelyn, how much does the lg tera cost? Hopefully I could find it
at the
verizon store where I live.  just in case anyone is wondering
about how much
the kyocera dura xv, I think it was about $120 which I purchased
out right.
I'm going to make sure on the price of it.

Sandra,

If you are with Verizon, check out the LG Tera.  It has full
screen read-out-in  other words, everything talks.  It's much
bigger than older LG flip phones.  As for contracts, the big
companies have been doing away with them.  I got mine a couple
months ago and just paid for the phone outright and am on no
contract any more.

Hi, all,

Well, I?™m finally deciding that, in their current iterations, I
am just not made for smartphones, so have come to the somewhat
painful but also liberating decision to investigate
currently-available flip phones.  I had a Haven back in the day,
and also tried the LGNV 3 and Gusto, but found they weren?™t
easy to text with.  I am totally blind, and so need full TTS so I
can navigate and use functions without sighted assistance;
preferably a track-phone, but willing to go with plans if I have
to?”just would like not to spend some money on contracts,
monthly bills, etc.  Any ideas? Thanks!



Sandra
