My wife is in the market for a new cell phone with the following rather specific requirement: She would like to use the phone as a pager (as well as a phone, of course), and she would like to be able to dial numbers sent to her in pages without having to write them down then manually dial them. That is, she wants it to either "just work" or she wants to use the stylus to highlight the number to be dialled then hit a single button or key to actually cause the phone to dial.
The gotcha is that she's working with a very UN-technical paging company and we have no idea how the messages will be sent. The phone may think they're "text messages" or "email" or who-know-what-else but the point is there's no guarantee of anything except the number to be dialed will appear as text on the screen. And no, we can't get the paging company to change how they do things; we have to take what they give us. So, this sounds to me like she needs a Treo or something like it. I'm pretty sure at least one of the Treos will do the job but I don't know if all the different models will work this way. I also don't know if there are other phones that can do this. One last constraint: Our carrier is Verizon Wireless and we don't want to change that. Any recommendations, for or against?
