Precisely! I've been with Verizon since the mid eighties (before it was even called Verizon)
< Actually my second phone, after my first 1983 handset gel-batt 'bag phone' which I've still got; this old reliable work-flipphone takes most of the photos in my gallery; and, if sent to my wife or daughter's smart phones, can be updated to my computer-thence to photo-bucket. On remote movie-set locations, where I'm security, mtn-areas or out on the boat, my phone still operates when the modern stuff doesn't!!! and the speaker phones (set in the hinge) are superb!!! I don't need the hearing aids. Recently I just got 2 new batteries "made in China' instead of the original "made in Korea" (Probably from N. Korea and relabeled to circumvent Trump's trade embargoes!!) The 'kids' staffing the Verizon store, aghast at my Neanderthal technology, are always trying to get me to upgrade but this 'ain't broke' and I don't waste time learning new technology at 66.... which saves on Aricept!
