Aren\u2019t smartphones designed specifically for younger generations? Not really.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve found that seniors are increasingly interested in using smartphones to log on to the Internet and connect with friends and family.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to what I consider one of the best, if not the perfect, (no contract) smartphone for senio\"\"<\/a>rs: the iPhone 3GS<\/a>. I\u2019m pleased to announce Consumer Cellular is making the iPhone 3GS available for only $200 per phone, including activation.<\/p>\n

Best of all, you get the most iconic smartphone in the business with all of the usual Consumer Cellular benefits: no contract, low rates, and our award-winning, 100% US-based Customer Support team, cell phone experts who are always here to help.<\/p>\n

This is a phone with a fast processor (the \u201cS\u201d stands for speed). And it has the user-friendly interface that consumers have come to expect from Apple. It\u2019s light-weight, very mobile, and it has an easy-to-use touch screen that\u2019s large enough so you don\u2019t have to squint.<\/p>\n

In short, the iPhone 3GS is very easy to use. And a pleasure, too, because there\u2019s a virtual world of iPhone apps to choose from, enabling you to customize the device to fit your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Okay, why should you buy an iPhone from us? For starters, you can save money. Then, of course, there are all those other great reasons you chose us in the first place and why our customers love us: from affordable cell phone plans<\/a> to our Usage Alerts<\/a> that protect you from unnecessary overage charges.<\/p>\n

These iPhones are factory refurbished and come with Consumer Cellular’s standard 1-year warranty.  Photos can be sent and received between friends and family from the phone’s email app. Regular text messaging works like a charm; however, in most cases, sending pictures via the message feature won’t work.<\/p>\n

For some smartphone users, about the only thing hotter than an iPhone is a kitchen stove that\u2019s been on all day. If you\u2019re interested in getting an easy-to-use smartphone that really cooks, don\u2019t wait too long. After all, the iPhone 3GS is built for speed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
