I don't think anyone under thirty should have a cell phone. (Huge grin)

I was hoping that someone might have the name of a cell phone that has 
only 4 buttons on it. I was at School for the Blind in Nashville and a 
lady mentioned that there is a cell phone that you can get that only has 
4 buttons that you can program each one who to call. My daughter is 
totally blind she is 13 and wants a cell phone. My problem is she is 
delayed and I am afraid she will be calling China,lol. The phone with 
just 4 programable buttons sounds like it would work great for her. open 
for suggestions.
