I have a Lively (used to be called Jitterbug) phone, cheapest, original, ‘90s-‘00s technology, non-internet model that has voice, voice mail, old-style text, phone book, archive, a mag-lite. Unlimited calls/texts costs me $12.50 per month. The phone itself was $10.00 on sale with an AARP coupon. It has large-print everything.
It’s “chill factor” is exactly zero, but in a recent four day bout of intermittent power and internet outages, (due to underground cable cut), it worked perfectly fine when all the iPhones and smartphones were down.
P.S. I am an adult who just doesn’t want the constant distraction of texts, calls, feeling that every beep, bell, vibration needs immediate response. I also do not want to be overwhelmed with spam, advertising on email, and I don’t use social media. It can take grainy photos, but the send option doesn’t work to anything via internet.
Sorry, Matthew, but no CathInfo on it, either. I use internet at the times of my choice on my tablet without having to sacrifice the ability to summon help in an emergency or have a chat with a friend. It gets pretty good reception, working in remote places where WiFi does not.
