Hoping for some local perhaps off the beaten path options.
We'd love to help you, and we're trying. But I don't have a great understanding of what makes a good phone for you. On top of asking us, I hope you are asking other people who need phones with similar capabilities. My guess is that most Android phones are alike in support. iPhones are probably all alike too. "Feature phones" seem to be dying out. Some won't work when 3G gets turned off (this year).
to be forthright? I am really running out of time to find a solution. There are options even outside of lg, the xp3 or xp3 plus for example. Challenge is finding them, given the touch screen focus. The symbol, chatter's only flip is off the table, no accessibility features.
My bias is to not get phones through carriers. Their goal is to get you to buy their service.
The tcl rogers item seems to have talking..but not at your ear. phone need not be a flip of course, just have buttons..like a blackberry. Which used to have fine speech as well. store ideas?
I'm no expert. I don't do this often. I took my Pixel 8 in for warranty service at Best Buy in Scarborrough Town Centre mall. They were nice enough to say that they didn't do on-the-spot phone service and suggested Mobile Klinic in the mall. Mobile Klinic did the fix, for free (not using the warranty). What I take from this: individuals in stores are very different in their knowledge. Try to find someone who can understand your needs. <https://mobileklinik.ca/stores/scarborough-town-centre/>
sadly, save for a firm model, this is not an on line sort of buy.
Yes.
