I remember when Randy's parents got a cell phone many years ago. This thing was huge I mean I think they actually needed a wheelbarrow to carry it around in. Now there are cell phones that are so small and convenient that it just amazes me beyond all belief. But back then even though the phones were huge the buttons you had to push and the screen you read were always so small it seemed to me. Randy's Mom was for ever pushing the wrong buttons and spending her very expensive minutes on a wrong number and she would actually get mad at the person that she called because they had the nerve to answer their phone and use her minutes. Now there are new phones called Jitterbug which although they are much smaller flip type phones the numbers are made for senior people. Also, when you dial a number you don't need a powerful NASA telescope to read to make sure you actually dialed the correct number before you push the dreaded send button. Plus Jitterbug has a very friendly customer service department. That was another issue my Mother-in-law had to deal with when she had a problem was lousy customer service. They have several plans that you can choose from from $10.00 up. This isn't the phone for my daughter who has a cell phone growing out of her ear. But for the senior who wants the piece of mind of having a phone with them in case of an emergency then this is the deal for them.
