You have a smart phone-you're cool enough just there. My Mom saw in her AARP magazine a recommendation for a Senior Phone. Mind you my Mom with her old phone would call me while she was out and if I needed to return the call she had already shut it off. Drives me nuts. Gotta save that battery ya know.
So she decides she wants a monthly phone called Jigger Bug designed for seniors. Sis and I wanted her to get an iPhone but I wasn't willing to push that with all she was dealing with Dad. The JB makes calls, texts and receives photos and out. It has a real simple contact list and display on outside for who is calling her. Huge buttons and massive display of what you are dialing in a dark font. Flip phone answers call when ringing when you open it. Simple. Outside display says TEXT when someone sends you one or a photo.
On the day my Dad ultimately passed I sent a quick text that said only: We are on the way to Hospital now. She didn't look at it. I was surprised when my Dad passed and we had to hunt her down, at home. Her: I saw it says TEXT but I don't text message indignantly.
Me: But you do read! I picked up phone, opened the flip phone and there is the text message before her eyes with zero effort other than opening the phone. Her firmly: Yeah I'm not going to do that.
So Sir, I still put you in the Cool category.
Still-his theme song is etched in my brain, DD loved him, that was her toddler comforter and sheet set on her first bed too. We still called it her Barney Bed. We spent a fortune not only on admission but oh boy the merchandise we bought.
