Subject: RE: BS: mobile phones for the elderly, disabled
Gremlins must have gotten it, nothing happened here.

My neighbor across the street is 90 and has an ancient flip phone that barely works - the towers don't support the old technology. A friend set him up with the phone on her plan and I guess he doesn't know what to tell her he needs now. I've made a couple of adjustments for him, so he can find the names he calls most often (but hasn't called in ages.)

This thread reminds me that I was going to look around and print out something he can send her or call her about - to keep his number but put it in a new phone. He'll need a new SIM card so she might as well handle the whole transaction then send it to him.
