Texting For Adults Who Grew Up Talking on Phones!

When you were a kid, were phones things that plugged into the wall, and were used for talking on? Did a mobile communicator seem like something from a Star Trek Episode or a Dick Tracy cartoon strip?

I think they may also be a good starter cell phone for a younger person, or they could be the right choice for a disabled person’s cell phone too.

Customer service is polite and friendly, and they have been trained to work with people who do not have engineering degrees!

In fact, many people, not young, old, or handicapped just appreciate having a cell phone that is designed to be simple to use so they can call people.
