[Electronics-Talk] Accesible cell phone with large buttons, voice activation and voice output

[Tom Evans]

Tony, I investigated jitterbug years ago and it looked OK I’m reading from my older notes. There with Best Buy and they have a phone number where they spoke English at great call, phone number 866-819-3174. It was $100 and $15 monthly for 250 minutes and can carryover up to 500 minutes. I believe they’re on the Verizon network which I’ve had zero problems with. Also a true Verizon store or if you call them they were going to get rid of their flip phones but in reality the people Seem to want that more than the smart phones. Tom

She needs a phone that has voice controls that she can talk to and that wil talk back to her or a phone that has voice output and big buttons. The buttons on the newer phoens are to small for her to feel and even the cox remote she has issues with it as well.
