[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474330, member: 12886"] Since I just had to switch because I get a reimbursement and the requirement became a no contract phone I have recently done a bit of research. I was told that is a special thing about At&t... most contract phones have cell to cell within their plan only....and some have a family and friends concept and you can put a certain number of phone numbers on that....but At&t is ALL cells. So if you can get on her plan go for it. And, no biggie about the area code, everyone puts numbers in and just hits your name anyway. If you are comfortable with technology and have the fingers to do so I would say YES, go for a phone you can do at least texting (great for memory to have people send a text saying...dinner at 6 next month, Nov 18th at 530 etc...I always forget to put it in the calendar right away so love the texts. Also, since I have an android phone now I love having unlimited internet (not sure if her package has that so you'd have to ask). I posted here when difficult child went to hospital thru my phone. The best is that my calendar and email are all connected to computer and phone so I get reminders for everything. It did take me a couple of days to learn (I love that kind of thing though) but it was really worth it. If you choose a textin kind of phone it is simpler than an android and usually has a nice little keyboard that makes texting easier. Usually still has camera and video that you can share. If you have face book and they have internet on the plan you can upload and download pics to your phone easily. Those are my thoughts....by the way, my mom had to switch too and she got the same phone as my sister and I did. She took about 5 days to learn it and LOVES it. she is 70. [/QUOTE]
