Verizon and other major cos. rarely offer any basic cellphones now I noticed--- it's almost all Smart Phones. Or Jitterbug which looks good, esp. the safety features but has a number of complaints and dicey reviews online.

Good luck with your issues, I can imagine that cos. don't want to invest in landline repairs and infrastructure if that's what it is-- cuz it's not, new, shiny and sexy! Lol.
