I'm making an effort to be more in touch with my parents, and I think getting them a cell phone capable of sextexting is the easiest way for me to do this. They are shackled to Sprint for the rest of their natural lives, so it needs to be a Sprint network friendly phone.

My biggest requirement is that it's easy for fuddy-duddies to send and receive texts and make calls. All else will likely never be used.

Advice?
