    Cheap (new) phone for add a line grandma?

    Looking to upgrade my wife's mom's phone. She's mainly used Nokias, and since she broke the 6360 I got her a few years ago, she's been using the $20 prepaid nokia that they sell at Walmart with her AT&T Orange SIM. I just about upgraded her line tonight through AT&T, but I do not want to commit her to another 2 year contract.

    Any recommendations (MUST BE CHEAP) for phones I can get for the average user? She would prefer a clamshell form factor, and other than that her main priorities would be good reception and call quality. She sends little to no text messages, no data usage.

    I found the Nokia 2720 for $60 online. Is this a pretty okay phone for an older lady who just makes calls? Am I missing something that would work better for her, maybe something cheaper or the same price that is a better value for the money?

    Thanks!

    The Pantech Breeze is a simple to use phone in a flip phone style. Buttons are big and screen is easy to see. Their new Ease is nice if she wants to get text messages from you or the grandkids. Or, look for Nokia flip phones like the 6350.

    The Nokia 2720 has a tiny little navigation square toggle, ok reception. I'd just order that from AT&T.com under "GoPhone", it's less than $10
    LTE has arrived. The third carrier in Las Vegas with 10x10 LTE coverage

    Coverage will expand to 100 million LTE pops for the first half of 2013, with the second half of 2013 expanding to 200 million POPs covered. Release 10 LTE (2×10, 2×20) will be better performing than all other competitors.
    T-Mobile USA. “This year, we’re stepping on the gas again. We are making continued coverage improvements and launching an advanced LTE network
