the samesung haven i believe can be transferred to another carrier since its not a smart phone. theres 2 types the pre-paid ones and the standard ones. they are very accessible. i used one for several years. i upgraded to apple iphone 5s. and accessiblity is just over 100% great, it only took me 1 day to learn it. if you want real accessibility you should take a look at the iphone. very simple to use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laz" <accessibleelectronics@xxxxxxxxx>

HI Dave, No, the Haven is definitely not a smartphone just like many other flip phones which aren't accessible. I have heard of folks getting different phones flashed by the phone stores to unlock them so they can use them with a different carrier. I have to wait for my wife to get home and see if she knows anything about it.

Checking with my phone company here in Winnipeg MB, they say they can support a Haven if it is unlocked. While the Haven has a lot of features, I don't think it is considered a"smart phone". Is this correct? I can add a non smart phone to my contract easily but this becomes prohibatively expensive if it is considered a "smart phone". Because the Haven can do text messaging, Im not clear on this point.I am looking for a very simple button driven scell phone for my wife to useand perhaps the Haven is the answer depending on the above. Thanks for any info.
