As for all there are is smartphones, just because it's got a keyboard doesn't mean it's a smartphone.

I know I could go with Verizon, but I like AT&T, but just like everyone else , they have a few JERKS, and A lot of good people. All of my family has AT&T. CDMA does not affect hearing aids. Paul

If CDMA doesn't affect hearing aids (and you say you have two) then you need to switch to a CDMA carrier such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint. Or if you're just concerned about falling down in your back yard and breaking your hip you need Life Alert. 😁
