They are *both* AT&T phones ... mine is a Pantech and his is (I think) an LG. I
offered him my Samsung A-707 flip phone which is (and has been) rock-steady
reliable. All that we need to do is put his SIM card in the Samsung and he's
good to go.

 DD> Godfrey Daniel, those Goldwings are HUGE up close. This one (a two

Not yet. Her grandson is supposed to get it running and they will call him. It
certainly would not find room at my place - even for free. I want something
that, should it fall over, I have at least an outside shot at picking back up
without help from a crane.

I don't need to be that connected. Actually, no one does.   Bv)=
