Yes and when we had the first contract with Verizon we went through four different brands/models of phones. We got our contract through Radio Shack in Concord and we found them to be very responsive to our concerns and issues we had with the phones/service. The only reason we did the TracPhone thing is because of the ranges we traveled in those days (I was working in Portsmouth, Argie works in Bristol) and having very young children we felt it was necessary for emergencies. Prior to going back to Verizon we had been in contact with them about network improvements - I can take frugal to a new level, so I wanted to make sure that we were going to be satisfied with the service for the money we would be paying. So far, so good.
