Larry all you need to do is buy a verizon compliant phone and insert
your sims card no extention required........Check ebay you can get a
no frills phone fairly resonable I'll ask my daughter tomorrow what
she did with her old phone if it's available and all the parts and
pieces are there I'll mail it to ya............


I think I have it all figured out well enough to satisfy me .... but I don't
think Verizon phones have sims cards ... seems that they are only mentioned
on phones for other services.

I've ruined two phones this year and it's costing me more than talking is
worth ... I think I'll buy a refurbished phone this time ... got a couple
calls to make today to confirm it

Oh, and if you think the service is a scam ... check out the 'insurance'
fine print ( which I have never gotten and never will )
