Consumer Cellular is so far the only company in the US that affers this cell phone.

Pros easy to use for seniors, large display

Cons With very little, was never dropped, never subject to extreme temperatures or anything else that would result in damages, this phone lasted one year and one month - yes - it just missed the 12 month warranty period so was no longer covered.

Pros It is a nice sturdy phone to handle and the numbers are a good size.

Cons When txting having to scroll through your whole phone book to get the person you want to txt. Also only stores cell phone numbers for each person no ability to store 2 numbers or an address for a person. Very frustrating.

Summary Although the phone is sturdy and good to handle it does not have the basic functions of other cell phones and Telstraclear are selling this phone for $245. I think it is far too basic to command this price so I am stuck with this phone.

Pros high viz keyboard and screen. easy view of screen, with good definition. Keyboard easy to use. Selection of menu easy and logical. Data input very simple. Has bluetooth which sets up easily.

Cons charge inlet plug is on side, rather than top or bottom. Charge input into car dc plug lights up too brightly, altho in blue. Charger input plug is on wrong side (left, rather than right, for ease of use when plugged.

Summary Much simpler to see and use, compared to other small keyboard and tiny letters/digits (e.g., Motorola) and still has all the basic needs (FM, bluetooth, backlit keyboard). Very simple setup. Fits comfortably in hand when using.
