Dear John: I have a contract with Verizon for a phone and DirecTV. It has been charging me for a phone since March 16, but I’ve had no phone service since then.

To make matters worse, it is charging me $4.25 a month for a non-published number.

I called numerous times, and it also has my name misspelled.

Now most of my mail is in my new name.

I’m 83 years old and I would like to have my phone before I die. Any help would be appreciated. J.T.

Dear J.T.: I’ve called Verizon on your behalf. Let’s see if I have any better luck than you have had.

But let me say one thing to everyone who writes to me for help: You have to send me details, especially phone numbers of the people you’ve been dealing with and account numbers.

In your case, I can’t call you because you have no phone. But it becomes much harder to get results when I have to start from scratch.

Anyway, “Give Me Phone Or Give Me Death” will be our motto.
