Question

is there a good basic phone with touch screen & plays music?

Mar 29, 2014 2:41AM PDT

I need to get a new phone but don't need internet connection or added expense.

I need to replace an LG NV. I like the features - touch screen, qwerty keyboard, good camera, plays music - and would like to find out if there is a good, basic new phone w/ these features.

I have verizon service.

Any thoughts?

It varies by location what they offer but hit the Verizon web site and look at "feature phones."

I called and talked to them about this. They don't have anything called feature phone.

Do an online search at Verizon.com and click on "shop for phones" and look at "basic phones". You will find 2 Samsung, 2 LG and 1 Pantech phone ranging tin prices from free to $99. They have them, just have to look for them.

In case you think I made up the term.
