TMFL CDMA phone for seniors?

[zightlight]

Are there any CDMA phones offering triple minutes for life yet?

I'm looking for a good deal on an "emergency" phone for my hard of hearing parents who like to take off at a moments notice. My father recently had a diabetic emergency on the road and it would have been so much better if they had a phone with them. I understand that flip phones are the best choice for seniors. Are there any specific CDMA model recommendations? (CDMA service is better in the areas where they like to go for drives.)

By the way, thank you for the great info you've given me in the past! I'm very happy with my Tracfone LG800g phone and service!

If by CDMA you actually mean Verizon, then you might be better off with PagePlus, a Verizon-based service.

$80 buys 2000 minutes and 1 year of service and you can reup for another year for $30. So that is $110 for 2000 minutes and 2 years of Verizon-based service. Cheaper than Trac and you get a much better selection of phones.

Right now Trac is only selling 2 models of CDMA phones. With PagePlus you can use most any used Verizon postpaid phone.

There is a PagePlus forum right here on HoFo. Many PPC customers used to be with Trac. Why don't you post there and ask what they would suggest?

Good luck and hope it all works out.
