How is this different than our regular cell phones?

This is the same as a basic GSM (AT&T;, T-Mobile) cell phone - except is uses a single AA battery (disposable) for power. It does not need a charger or access to a power outlet to keep it charged. This phone is designed for emergency use -you transfer your SIM card from your everyday cell phone to use. You would use this phone when your normal, everyday phone: dies, got dropped, forgot or no access to a charger, or travel to places that you would not want to risk your expensive, fragile smart phone.

I'm not sure it is. But as a regular cell phone it would be pretty pathetic. We bought it because we got rid of our house phone some time ago and use our cell. However, we wanted something in a central part of the home all the time that anyone (kids included) could use to dial 911. This is kind of a "set it and forget it" type of emergency phone. It has a long lasting battery so the idea is we just turn it on and press the emergency button. I did some test dials and it works out of the box as reported.

I agree that it is really just a touch screen phone not must else. Also it will unlock on its own in your pocket and the keyboard can be all over the place if you have med to large hands. I am currently searching for a new phone and the memory management does not hit the mark.it is a upgrade from a non touch non android. But not many options beyond that and you have to download your emails before reading them you cant just pull them up and look which is also true of the picture message.

I really do not understand the question. It is just like any phone it is easy to use.

The mini is like a long cell phone. The regular is like a Cracker Barrel block of cheese!

It is not. It is your only phone. However, it's the best phone ever. My mom has no trouble hearing anything on it.

It is easy to use - just like any cordless phone. I don't think there is any difference in sound quality since it is a blue tooth connection similar to that one would use on their phone in the car.

I think the phone you choose is the ans. to that. I bought a Vtech which had a base phone and a hand held. In my case it works well. At least as well as a cell phone.

It is just a basic phone for calls and texting. You need a smartphone if you want that.

I don't know. But I live in a very rural area where many cell phones do not work. This phone has never ever dropped a call or been difficult to hear. Many people here have to go outside in order to use their cell phone. This phone comes through loud and clear inside or outside. I recommend it highly. You sure can't go wrong.

It's not a prepaid phone. You may add it to your plan. We did without a problem.

No, it's a simple, basic, telephone with a slide out keyboard for easier texting. I like mine, kind of wish the screen was bigger, but if all you want is a basic phone, this one is great. Depending on your carrier, I use Verizon and it will specifically ask me if I want to accept any Data charges (i.e. if I go into Canada with my phone).

This is not a phone system that you add hand held phones two. It is nothing more than what it is; a two-line phone.

Yes, just like a traditional phone. It really works. The only thing missing is a way to tie it into all the other phones in the house.

We have no land line, just cell phones. Overall we like the phones, the caller id works as well as pretty much all the features i can think of altho we have not set up or used the answering system as we just use our voicemail on our phones but the bluetooth has a lag; after answering the phone it takes about 10 seconds of saying hello until it actually connects to the cell phone for the called to hear me.

Personally, I don't consider it a smart phone. To me is just a basic phone to talk and text. It is pretty heavy duty.

I like the phone because its old school it doesnt have the technology that the others do. You can text and you can send pictures and fwd messages to your email. I like it because it is actually a phone not a computer phone. It doesn't do everything for you.

Its like a Samsung S3 or S4 cell phone but in a smaller size. Samsung is coming out with the S4 mini soon and I bet that will be more popular in the US. The S3 mini is popular in UK.
