OP here. Thanks! This is for my elderly dad and he doesn't have internet access. He's in Montgomery County. I'm trying to figure out if a traditional phone service or a cell phone will be a better deal for him.[/quote]

How able bodied is he?  And does he have any deteriorating conditions?  My father is relatively able-bodied...for an 86-year old man.  He had a bad spell about 7-8 years ago where his health deteriorated greatly.  He had to change his eating and drinking habits and started going to a gym with a personal trainer who had now become his friend and a sometimes caretaker.  He's much better now.  But for a while, he had one of those life-alerts after he fell one day and my mother did not find him for a couple of hours.  Now, we got a cell phone for him and he has it with him at all times and doesn't need the life-alert.  Although his health has improved so that he can get himself up if he falls now, it's still helpful for him to have in case he can't get to the telephone.  He now always has his cell phone on his person.  It's a little more comfort for us that he has it.  Something to consider.[/quote]
