I have heard of people getting them for $29.00 $39.00 and $45.00 when they go on sale.

Neither she nor I shop on line for almost anything.

Is there a best place to buy these ?
we both have Costco accounts so we'll get two or three phones for her there.

She is only using a cell phone now , no land line.

she forgets where she lays the phone down , and forgets to charge it.

people that want to check up on her , are finding it problematic to stay appraised of her welfare , on a regular basis.

if anyone hears about a great sale on them , I'd appreciate a heads up.

Email me you mailing address I have one that is virtually brand new!
Happy New Year Katy!
problem Solved.

W o W !
are they transferable ?

Welcome to my world, bendable.

Seniors are best with devices they grew up using. For my parents and in laws, despite the fact they want desperately to grasp technology, they simply can't. And, what they could grasp 10 years ago, now escapes them due to issues with memory. I have resorted to attaching Tile to my mom's keys and pocketbook, so we can find them when she misplaces them. She's developed an illogical paranoia about theft of her pocketbook, and has taken to hiding it in really odd places like in the fireplace, so the Tiles insure we can find them.

For reasons of portability, a cell phone is ideal for seniors, but it for all the reasons stated thus far, it sometimes isn't workable. My parents have a standard wired landline phone. Not ideal, but it's something they understand and will readily use. I still try to get them to use a cell, but if anything they're regressing on those skills. My FIL is fine with using his flip phone, but never thinks to take it with him even when driving by himself for several hours. It was never a part of his EDC routine, and no matter how much we try to retrain him, no luck so far.

I think the better term instead of Seniors would be those with Dementia. I see plenty of people in their eighties with excellent cognitive skills and no issues with memory. Many grasp technology very well. I see plenty of younger people with attention deficit issues and memory problems far worse than the elderly.

since I am new to this system ,

is there anything that I need to inform Katy of,
that will keep her out of tech trouble or
extra fee's ?
