I understand that not every cell phone works in every location. It is important to know, though, that not all cell phones (analog, digital, or multi-mode) perform equally, when used on the same network. Perhaps a different model of phone (particularly a good Motorola model, and not the "free" phones offered) would work better in her location. Even more important is the choice of cell-phone carrier. In rural areas, Verizon far outperforms the other carriers because its network is in the 800 MHz band versus 1900 MHz for all the other major companies. What company does she use? Most of them offer a trial period that would let you and/or her try various phones at home.

Audiokarma is a great place to talk about classic equipment, but it gets poisoned too often by people who whine and whine and whine about everything digital and act as if everything about anything analog is superior, over and over and over and over again...
