Smile From T-Mobile to Verizon Wireless

I was with T-Mobile and had a Hearing (voice) plan. I could not hear on my phone. I switched to VZW. I got T-Mobile to drop the $200.00 early termination fee. Don't try to do it by voice on the customer care line if you are hard-of-hearing or even sometimes in person if there is a lot of background noise or people talk too fast. Always ask lots of questions and try to find a store location where they have someone who signs REALLY well. VZW have just either Voice or Data plans but someone offered me a "custom" deal since I am sort of "in the middle." I am paying a lot for my phone bill right now! (Maybe I should take them up on the custom plan.) But I have a GREAT phone. It is a NOKIA phone that has an M4/T4 HAC rating. It just came out. I can tether it to my computer and have a broadband connection. It is somewhat slow, though. Sure beats dial-up. But I have no land-line. Just phone and DSL and texting, etc. I wonder if I could hook this up to VP equipment. Anybody know how or if I could? I also know I can make free calls on the computer through the relay websites. A local Deaf Center has been very helpful. The people at VZW at the store are very patient.
