 Thank you. Very interesting. But, presume, based on your message, that Verizon would probably not support this phone. I still use a Verizon Samsung Haven flip phone, but it is old, like my computer, and like me, too.
 How would one gets matters transferred over to the phone you sent the  messabout about?
 Thanks.

What ever happened to Rick Holley. He just seems to sort of have disappeared? Just curious.

Group,

This phone may be of interest to users who do not need  all the features of an iPhone or an Android.  While I think it will work with phone networks in Virginia I am not positive.

MiniVision2 Cell Phone

The MiniVision2 is a simple cell phone for people with vision loss. If the thought of dealing with all the functions that come with an iPhone is overwhelming, this phone might be a good option. It is an easy-to-use talking phone that takes care of all basic telecommunications needs. The talking voice guide provides someone who is blind with the ability to use every feature of the phone, and the large tactile buttons allow users to navigate the phone with ease.
Users can place calls, send text messages, and more, with voice commands. The phone only works on certain GSM networks, and you won’t be able to get additional apps like you can with an iPhone. However, if you want a basic phone with some extra functions like a money reader, color identifier, alarm, calendar, notes, calculator, camera, and weather, this could be the perfect phone for you.
