[quote=Anonymous]Advice please!!!
My mom is 84 and active but is not good with electronics. We got her a Jitterbug flip phone and it is everything she needs from a phone. Simple, easy to make calls and the emergency button has been used 3 times in the past year. BUT it does not work well at her house, except for the emergency button, and never has a signal at our home. We both live out "in the country" but have wi-fi systems. After much more research I have figured out that while the phone does connect to the wi-fi service it does not have WI-fi calling.  The company representative promised that the smart phone version would fix that so we went and got that BUT it does not support wi-fi calling either!!!!! Evidently, the emergency button makes calls on a different network which is why that worked.

So, does anyone have a suggestion for a simple to use cell phone that does support wi-fi calling? She only wants it to make phone calls. She will never watch a movie on it. We can go with any carrier, but really need an easy phone.[/quote]
