Yes, what's that one advertised all the time? It has big buttons and
is only a cell phone without all the gimmicks like camera and web
access, etc. And they advertise it has plans as low as $9.95/mo. It's
called the skipper, or some stupid name like that. I'll have to wait
for the commercial again to give you the exact name.

Tom, in DC "Economy 1" service costs $6.00 a month. No bells and
whistles and you pay 6 cents a call. Local calling only. With

Thanks Eric. My Mom is in New York and we have spent many hours
talking
to Verizon/MCI trying to get her a service plan that is appropriate to
her needs. The best we could find was MCI's "Neighborhood Talk" plan
for
$25 plus $17 in "taxes and surcharges" for a total of $42 a month
just to
have a phone in the house for emergencies and us calling her.
I could get her a pay-go cell phone for a lot less than that, but a
cell
phone takes too much care to maintain and is too tiny for an old
lady to
use. I also don't want to change her phone number at this late stage
of
life.
Has anyone ever seen a large cell phone?
