just a suggestion, I would get her an echo..Dot
you could use the phone to set up contacts and get the dot working, and provide
a hotspot if she doesn't have Wi-Fi. she could just ask it to play a different
radio stations, call people, list
I'm with you, Shirley, tend to do more asking than answering.

My older sighted husband has a flip phone with larger buttons that he
loves. It has speech, but it's too chatty, so he has it off. He does
no email, and does research on his tablet, where he just asks Google
what he wants. The phone is just for making and taking calls. So you
see,
