I took a look at Cingular%26#39;s website and found a few phones you might want to look at:

This one is very basic... no bells and whistles, and is easy to use.

This one is very compact and relatively easy to use - it has a camera but most phones do these days.

Both these phones are available on their prepaid plans, which may be a good thing to look into, especially if you will only be using the phone for emergencies. That way, you just put some money on the phone before you go on a trip and don%26#39;t have to worry about paying for all the time you AREN%26#39;T using the phone.

Good luck! I would also advise you to call Cingular%26#39;s customer support line and ask them for some guidance - they know their products and plans best, so they should be able to help you find something that will work for you. I would recommend a nokia phone they are easy to use and come in a variety of styles and price ranges. Also go to a Cingular store and tell them what you are looking for in a phone. SGH-C417 a nokia phone...it%26#39;s very easy to use I would recommend LG phones. They are easy to learn to use. Unfortunately most phones just come with the bells and whistles. Go to a store where you can try them out. Stay away from Motorola phones. I really like my Krazor but prefer the menus of the LG 8100. I think Motorola phones menus are more complicated.
