It's "on" or "off", "in" or "out" of tower range. She can sweat all over it (in South Carolina) and it still functions and she can't drop it with sweaty hands. If she ever does kill it, she just stops at our local resale store and digs up another one for a few dollars, slaps the battery on and drives over to the phone store and demands the phone people program it to work with her account.
I don't know the name or model but my mother will not part with her flip phone. The battery makes up the body of the phone. We shop for batteries at one specialty shop in the city about every other year. She refuses to consider any other phone because they're too small.
