He only uses it to call me or mom, lol. He doesn't like to text so can't comment on that, but it's a very user friendly phone. My in-laws have a Pantech--both of them text and seems pretty user friendly. They aren't tech people, especially my FIL who thinks you use a mouse with both hands ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-data-plan-required-cell-phones#post-1809707 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:04:19 +0000 loki 1809707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my dad has a blackberry but doesn't have a data plan on it. he likes it because the buttons are great for typing, as opposed to a lot of the touch screens (he had 2nd/3rd degree burns on his hands on a child and his fingernails melted and are CRAZY thick now so he struggles with typing) he got the phone for free with his plan so it made sense to go with a blackberry even though he didn't need anything that fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-data-plan-required-cell-phones#post-1809699 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:01:54 +0000 Mamaof2 1809699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are on Verizon so not sure this is helpful but MIL is on our plan (no data) and has the LG Cosmos - she loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-data-plan-required-cell-phones#post-1809689 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:58:50 +0000 Adira 1809689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: They don't have a ton of options, but hopefully one will meet your FIL's needs! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-data-plan-required-cell-phones#post-1809646 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:46:17 +0000 regberadaisy 1809646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thanks!

His is currently a cheesy flip phone and it keeps cutting out on him. He really does not need a data plan!</p> <p>Anyone (or their parents ;) ) have a decent phone that doesn't require a data plan? Preferably AT&amp;T. And easy to text on for a big guy with big fingers. :P</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
