If you can still get Shok to ship you the phone, the Schok Classic flip phone is fairly good. It claims to run actual Android rather than Alcatel's Kai OS. The virtual mouse cursor works for a lot of web-app-y stuff. Unfortunately, I think Schok is phasing out their flip phones. Your landline carrier sounds like Ziply. If so I suggest caution when porting a number. About 1.5 years ago, I ported my 20+yo landline number from Ziply to Ooma but wanted to continue the FIOS internet service. Despite a Ziply agent assuring me that the internet service would continue without interruption, Ziply shut down the internet service at 10pm on a Sunday night, which caused me to miss a whole Monday of WFH. Xfinity/Comcast had new service functioning late Monday afternoon. Ziply was ~24 hours later, which would have cost 2 days of work. Other than Ziply's lack of truthfulness and back-stabbing, the switch to Ooma for the landline number has been very good. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
