G'day, This is for Aussies. I do not know if this is the place to ask. If not somebody could please tell me.
I am 79 years old. I have never had a Mobile Phone. My family are complaining that at my age I should have one. Just in case a 20-year-old female Swiss Backpacker tries to rape me. I will be able to call for help. I went to Telstra, the young man was talking in hundreds of dollars for plans etc. I left the shop more confused than I was before. My son has a Mobile with all the Bells & Whistles. If his wife flew to the Moon, he could contact her to find out what was for dinner. What I am looking for is a phone that if I need to phone one of the family. A phone that they can call me. They all live in Australia. Most a stone throw away. I have a camera to take photos. A Note Book in my shirt pocket for things I want to remember. My wife has a smartphone & a tablet. She can tell me what the weather is like in Timbuktu. I can do that on the Net. Please could somebody tell me a cheap phone that I can purchase that will not cost me an arm & a leg that will allow me to do the basics? Many thanks
