Surprised they actually want to charge over $90 US dollars for this. You can find "low tech" cell phones on e-bay for $15.

So... ...you can’t RECEIVE calls with it? You can only MAKE them?
That is SO cool! I might be willing to pay $150 for a phone like that!

Oh, this is the worst-looking phone I ever saw. What, when you buy a phone like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

Those “low tech” phones are subsidized by the various carriers.

I have a phone at home that works like this.
BUT, it doesn’t need batteries.
It can’t be stolen, as it is attached to the wall via a cord.
To activate the no-incoming call feature, I just take it off the hook.
No complicated menus. I just dial the number.
They are still available, for free mostly.

all I have is a phone....except for the camera part which I didn’t want...no internet, no QWERTY keyboard.....no nuthin’.
I like it that way...when my brother texts me, I call him.

‘John’s Phone’ - do the rerprogrammed speed dial numbers include your favorite hookers?

It’s better but I still don’t like it. When I am out of touch I wish to be out of touch. I don’t have one of those things. I won’t have one.

Great idea, lousy styling.
I keep threatening to make a “just a phone”, with style being high priority.

There are a number of “senior-friendly” phones like that in Japan. They have big buttons and large number displays that make them easier for the elderly to handle, and of course they have volume controls that goes WAY up.
But no other functions. They sell well.

So, it can only be used for what cell phones were originally intended for? Say it aint so!!!!!!

This is NOT new.
The Jitterbug has been around for years now and was marketed mostly for technically deficient seniors as well as large numbers they could see.
