I loved my old Teletac. Since everything went digital, I had to give it up after 10 years. But even 6 years ago it was hard getting a simple phone. Especially since my job REQUIRED NO CAMERA in the phone. The jackasses at the phone stores are incredulous that you wouldn’t want all that garbage. Anyway, I managed to get a small simple phone with no camera and still have it. I do not want it to go bad - it has fallen hard many times and been left in a snowy parking lot but is still alive. I fear what stupid item I will be forced to buy next time.

I think you need the Jitterbug.

 

Although tt's marketed to the over 80 crowd, it has no camera.

Same here. Our old cell phone started acting hinkey after 10 years and we went back to Sprint to get another one. There were only two keypad phones available - the rest being smartphones, which I don't need. Our old keypad-types had a provision for a flash card - the new one doesn't. I have to email it to myself for an extra charge.

I don't need/want all that other crap - I use the phone mainly to ask the wife "Where you at?" at the supermarkets or stores, and rack up maybe one hour a month. Like you, when this one dies, I'll have to get a hand-held entertainment center that can make a phone call.
