   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.
