I suggest one of the basic Nokia handsets. I don't know what provider you are using, but with Cingular you check your Voice Mail be holding down the #1 key (simple as that).
I'm looking for a new cell phone for a loved one, and it must be EXTREMELY simple to use. I am talking about one button to check voice mail, with no need to enter in a password (no need for extensive security as the adult using it will never discuss sensitive info)
The amount of buttons should be a minimum number to get the job done; no specialized features required.
Now, I don't need anyone to say 'Go back to 1999'!
Thanks in advance for any input
