My 90 year old mother-in-law does have a 10+ year old G3 flip phone. I have tried for years to talk her into getting a smartphone but she is a major technophobe and wouldn't consider replacing her antique. That is really unfortunate because it would have been easier for her to learn to use a new phone several years ago before her current memory issues developed. Maybe I can find her something similar but with 4G capabilities before her phone becomes a doorstop. Wish me luck!
