-->Verizon just sent me a letter that they will be discontinuing service
on
Feb 18th 2008.

"Dear Valued Customer:

Re: Digital Network Conversion

The last day Verizon Wireless will provide analog cellular service will be
February 18, 2008. This change will allow Verizon Wireless to fully
transition to it's all-digital wireless network, and to offer improved
voice
and data services to our customers.
blah blah blah..... "

In the letter, they say that if I don't switch by the deadline time, that
the phone number mentioned in the letter, will just be disconnected and
will
no longer be charged for that number.

Anyway just FYI.....

...
I got the same letter. I like my analog plan cus its about $15 a month for
2 phones. I pay for all minutes. For my minimal use it works. I don't see
why I should have to pay 2 or 3 times as much to switch to newer digital
phones. I'll wait them out. If they don't offer me similarly priced upgrade
to keep me as a customer, when they shut down the analog service they'll
just loose me. A phone call is a phone call, I don't care what technology
they use to deliver it. It benifits them to get me on digital phones. I
won't pay more for it, at least not to them. I'll probably get a TracPhone.
