A question about cell phones and plans

[Catlady711]

My cousin and her bf recently got new phones from Verizon.

They had looked online and saw that every phone was a fancy does everything type and required a media package. However when they went to the Verizon store they were able to get a regular flip phone for her without a media package, although her bf opted for the does-everything-sign-me-up-for-media phone/package.

You might try checking with the Verizon store in your area as apparently what's online isn't all they have. None of my last 3 phone packages were listed online and I got them all at the Verizon store.

I'd suggest the same...go to a store and talk to a person. As high tech as all this stuff is, doing it online doesn't get you what you need. I'm almost certain you can't get emails without an internet connection. I'm shopping myself to update my stupidphone to a smartish one. I just use the phone as a phone but would love some internet ability. I just don't need MP3 players and cameras etc.
