Hello and good afternoon to all. my phone has been on the fritz lately and it looks like I might need a new one. the volume on my cell phone will cut out and I can not hear anybody on the other end but they can hear me . at the same time I lose volume on the keypad, so it sounds like a speaker issue. I have Verizon wireless and looked to see what they have for a replacement..... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not much ! every phone they have is a smartphone and require a $30 a month data plan. my old phone is an LG VX 8700 and was happy with it. would not mind going to a newer phone but spening $30 a month on a data plan they are holding me hostage to their needs. needless to say I have had my phone for a few years and was not looking for a new one but this seems crazy to me. the thing that really gets me is our son is on our plan and his phone is on the way out too. so I guess they expect me to pay $60 a month for data on each line plus the price of a new phone. wish they would let me get a phone and pay for data as I go ( I would turn the date feature off and use wi fi if necessary ) in this day and age with wifif in al ot of places it seems silly to be paying so much for data , if you do not need it .
