Cell Phone For Old Folks

[halfwaytree]

I'm rying to find a half decent cell phone for my old school, technically challenged father.

It needs to...

- have large, raised number keys
- have large numbers
- have back lit keys
- have easy to read screen
- be EXTREMELY easy to use.

Yes there are a couple models out there on the web that are being advertised but the wireless companies up here don't seem to want to (or can't) support them.

I wonder if the Firefly cell phone is still on the market. If it is it may work for your pops.

Google Jitterbug and see if that will work.

My mother has a Pantech cell phone from AT&amp;T.. It is basic enough for her. We programmed the telephone numbers she frequently called and her doctor is on the speedial

It works for the most part even though she still has troubling knowing how to turn it on and off.

Thank you all so much.

I found an LG model that seems to be easy enough for him to use. Easy speed dialing and also voice activated dialing should he ever need it.
