free phone wnated

[barend]

I'm looking for a old Verizon phone, the idea is to activate a new line on my account and transfer my business landline to it to save some $$$. The phone needs to be able to make one (yep, one) call, and one call only as I plan on routing all traffic to my cell phone. After that, the screen can go blank, the battery c an die, the keys can get stuck and anyting else that can go wrong.

 

Since I am doing this the "frugal way" anyone within, say SC, western NC, Northern Ga or eastern TN, preferred so I can basically get it at one of the M&E's. that don't work I suppose a padded enveloppe would work too. I can get a $20 phone from Verizon but don't want to sign a contract.

 

If you have one, or know someone who has one; great! If not, Oh well!!

dont know if it will work for yoou but I have the old alltel I-850 I think it is taht you are welcome to have. Let me klnow if this will work for you. I was still using it after verizon took over Alltel the wife and I just decided to upgrade. My wife just told me you could have her old alltel Hue also.

 

 

Let me know

Sounds like you might get inundated with phones. I don't have any old Verizon they only recently made it to our area.

Yup, I have a couple of older verizon phones That I'm not using. We severed all ties with Verizon this spring and the name is a swear word in our house. If you need them they are yours...

Is that one of them phones that hang on the wall and you have to push a button and then turn the crank to call the neigbours?????? or if you wanted to call someone a little further away you had to let the community blab in on the news first???? I remember them phones!!!!!!

Barend,

 

If you don't take bongobobny up on his offer, the next best way to get a real cheap phone is to go to eBay, do a search for "Verizon no contract phones" and see what pops up (I just got 113 results doing a search!).

 

I have bought all my phones for the last several years this way (I'm on Sprint), rather inexpensively, since I'm not currently willing to be on a contract for service.

 

TERRY

David,

Had to stop at Verizon to get my wife a new battery, Alltell phones can not be activated on verizon plans. Sorry, but thanks for the offer.

 

Bongo, let you know if I can't find anything local.
