@mikeor My mother has a different model Jethro phone working on the TELUS network and if it works on Telus it will work on Public Mobile.
Jethro phones are advertised as uncomplicated cell phones for the senior market. They should all be unlocked I believe and are inexpensive in the $60 to $125 range when I looked at them more than a year ago.
That said, there is no such thing as an uncomplicated cell phone when comparing to a landline phone. You have to power them up. Sometimes you have to push the correct button before you can enter a number to call. You have to know what button to push to “send” and @another to “end”. All things that aren’t required on landline phones. And if only being used once in a long while, non of the instructions you give to use it will ever be remembered or even intuitive.
Then if you enter a bunch of numbers in the phone directory, finding and using them is another close to impossible thing to accomplish for people who weren’t in the cell phone world until now.
Just saying the easy to use advertising doesn’t mean they are easy to use for everyone....
