I'm sure: Verizon Mobile has sent me three letters, stating that the
phone won't work on Verizon's network after December of 2022. Verizon
Mobile, if it’s anything like Mother Bell, won’t put anything in a
letter that could be used against it in court, and lying about the
need to buy a new phone certainly meets that prohibition.

As for T-Mobile, I'll have to check that out. The phone is an LG
VS930AT, and the tingmobile site says that the IMEI number from it is
"incompatible" with their service. I'll check T-Mobile and AT&T as
well, so thanks for the tip.

Come to think of it, I was told there's a phone service that works
only via WiFi Internet connections, and her old phone might be able to
use that for a while. Does anyone know about such as offer?

In the meantime, I'll look for a good price on one of the new phones
my wife wants.

Bill
