We belong in the above group of seniors, declining vision, perhaps hearing. A practical cell phone with camera, GPS could be so helpful navigating through the outside world.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bkrblusky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 21st 2010 10:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sweet and Simple: The Best Basic Phones for Our Dearest Dads]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/15/sweet-and-simple-the-best-basic-phones-for-our-dearest-dads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/15/sweet-and-simple-the-best-basic-phones-for-our-dearest-dads/</guid><description><![CDATA[dbaker5727 We fall in this category. We need a phone that is as close to an old fashioned telephone as possible to replace our land lines. We currently use Virgin  Mobile $7 a month plus 10 cents a minute.  We just need a dumbed-down phone  that works all the time without fail.  No texting, no frills, just basic limited phone calls cheap. We use it solely for shopping, travel and emergencies. There's nothing on the market. Jitterbug wants too much money for a limited service customer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dbaker5727]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 28th 2010 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sweet and Simple: The Best Basic Phones for Our Dearest Dads]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/15/sweet-and-simple-the-best-basic-phones-for-our-dearest-dads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/15/sweet-and-simple-the-best-basic-phones-for-our-dearest-dads/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just got the Pantech Breeze II about a week ago, its listed as an entry level phone but it has plenty of more advanced features inside if you have a desire to you them. <br>At 61 years old I am a bit hard of hearing and this phone works great, in both ringer volume and listening in both standard and speakerphone mode.<br>I was a bare bones phone user before this phone, but I must say I do like some of the advanced features as well, like the voice connect. <br>I also like that I am able to use the AT&T Navigation, a turn by turn GPS if needed for trips in unfamilar cities if I want to for only $10 for a months worth and then turn it off!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scotty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 28th 2010 1:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sweet and Simple: The Best Basic Phones for Our Dearest Dads]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/15/sweet-and-simple-the-best-basic-phones-for-our-dearest-dads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/15/sweet-and-simple-the-best-basic-phones-for-our-dearest-dads/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't believe you didn't mention the GSM vs. CDMA issue.  If traveling internationally, you HAVE to consider the technology used in the destination countries.  The majority of the time it's GSM, which limits you to those phones on AT&T or T-Mobile.  Pre-paid GSM cards can save you a LOT of money while overseas, too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ain't Nobody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 8th 2010 11:14PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
