They're still more comfortable talking on a landline.

Many people in this age group don't leave their cell phone on all the time. Phones are for emergencies, or special situations. Others have gotten used to the idea of leaving their phones on but still don't use their phones very much. When they do use them, it's only to make or take calls. Because these phones are for an aging population, they have large buttons, easy to use interfaces, clear screens and are hearing aid compatible.

If you're looking to get a prepaid phone for someone over 60 to use rarely or in case of emergencies - or even if this person just wants a very simple phone - we highly recommend forgoing the major carriers and getting a Jitterbug phone and service.
