@FediThing Thank you for sharing this. Bookmarked (for when needed).
I noticed it says it works with 2G networks? Curious if that'll work here in Canada as well.

@FediThing Ah, thank you. That addresses some of my questions. I like their approach, relying on the affordances and their familiarity (I'm also big on tactile interfaces over touchscreens.) Love this solution. Yeah, think tactile has been abandoned way too easily. On modern smartphones you have to look at a screen, read the labels, then press or slide a particular area of the screen etc just to answer a call. It's complicated and unintuitive. I can understand why my relative has trouble with this, and maybe all of us will have trouble with it one day. |

There's a 4G model too which should work on more networks.
It's a Europe-based company so I assume they're mainly looking at European frequencies, but they have a page about US providers if that's any help?
