I'm looking for a mobile phone for my dad. Does anyone have suggestions?

It needs to allow him to have family members phone numbers but it needs to forward 911 calls to a family member. Any ideas? Thanks b floyd

blloyd, how old is your Dad and what are his health issues? Any memory loss? Why I ask is that the older generation can find cellphones very complicated.... their brain is geared for half a century on how a landline works.

Or is the mobile phone because Dad likes to go out and drive, or walk? Thus you and he would feel safer if he a cellphone for emergencies? I've seen on TV a cellphone that is easier to use, Jitterbug.

I know I am behind the times as I refuse to give up my flip phone, but all I use it for is emergency calls and for a few texts. I have no need to carry about a computer in my pocket and pay those expensive monthly cost.
