I have a cell phone, a Samsung with TracFone service... dunno what model
it is any more, but it's pretty simple and small... about 1/2" x 2" x
4 1/2", the screen 1 1/2 by 1 3/4 or so... :)  But it's a workhorse,
too... I've have had it going on 5 years myself, still works fine... :)
I got it primarily for emergencies, and for when I'm traveling... He
figures one cell phone in the family is plenty... :)
