[Electronics-Talk] perfect cell phone

[Pamela Dominguez]

I don't know.  Does Jitterbug have a smart phone?  The only thing I knew 
about it was the old phone they had with the big round high buttons, and 
that your monthly fee was high for a small amount of minutes.  I also know 
that at that time, anyway, if you wanted to change settings, you had to have 
them do it from their office.  If that has changed, then somebody will have 
to correct me.  Pam.

Hi Sandra,

I would say you have a tall order since I think a button smart phone doesn't 
exist since the touch screen is king!  I would google jitter bug and see 
what they claim to have for smart phones.  One can speak commands but I 
don't know whether they have a TTS to read back information.  I wish you the 
best in your search!
