I read your first post, Joe. If your wife was attracted to the picture of the simple Jitterbug, that means she isn't interested in a smartphone.

People seem to either hate or love the Jitterbug. I don't know what to think about it.

The DH and I function on a small flip-phone which we bought at an AT&T store for $20. With some coaching about the enter button, the use of the "ring" and that CLR means backspace, I was ready to phone and text people.

I should mention that our landline is our main phone, and the flip phone is mostly for travelling. We could use it to access the Internet, but we don't bother.

Why don't you visit an AT&T store? You might be able to add your wife to the plan for no monthly fees and a $20 phone.

I hate iphones and smartphones. My hands are always cold, and the phones don't seem to detect my touch. The phones also do crazy things like completely lose the map I'm using because I gently turned it to follow our route.

Or one minute I"m looking for a gas station, the next minute it's calling Beirut.
