Nokia 2720 V Flip

I've never owned a smart phone nor do I plan on using the smart phone features that have been appearing on basic phones like this one. As other users complained, I'm sure they are tedious, I mean, it is a flip phone. What it is good at is calling and texting, and not needing to be charged all that much. Pros: -The predictive t9 good, not great. Better than the Alcatel. -I don't have to charge it every other day like the Alcatel. Perhaps once a week pending call lengths -Can send and receive emojis (unlike the Alcatel) -The buttons have good response and feel. -The phone alert options are subtle and pleasant -Very clear audio -Displays are clear and classy -I like all the short cut options. -Flipping it open one handed and closing it one handed never gets old. Ever. Cons -I can't customize all sounds/alerts? If it's possible I haven't figure it out. -Can't personalize icons look nor can I delete ones that I don't want (youtube, email, google, internet, etc.) -T9 struggles with contractions and the subject "I". Last few flips I've had always think that "G" is the #1 choice. So if you aren't paying attention your text will look like this "G do not like this." -Seems like I can only change the ringtone and the text message alert sound. -Phone makes a sound when I send a text, and I can't seem to turn that off or change the send sound. This Nokia is a huge upgrade from The Alcatel. I'm happy that Nokia is available once again on Verizon. My last Nokia on Verizon lasted as long as my first car (10 years).

I have had the phone less than a week and Verizon tech support knows nothing about it. Google assistant for calls and messages does not work due to a software issue for which Nokia has no time frame for resolution Multimedia messages do not download DO NOT BUY!

I bought this feature phone as a secondary phone for my smartphone. But the Internet sharing/Mobile hotspot is disabled. Which makes it effectively useless for me.
