the Jitterbug phone?

Also, there's the Tracfone Straight Talk plan. Mr Pipi and I were using that for a while until we got onto his daughter's family plan, which only costs us $5 a month more than the Tracfone plan did, which was $45 per month for unlimited calls and texting.

My daughter uses the cheaper Straight Talk plan which is 1000 calls and texts per month for $30.

Anyway, regarding the "where is the cellphone" issue...there are holsters/holders you can buy that fit onto a belt. I usually keep my cellphone on the kitchen table, except for when Mr Pipi is not home, then I carry it in one of those little doggy treats bags for training dogs. It clips onto the waistband of my pants. I don't lose my phone...I have a tendency to fall, and so he's always after me to keep my phone ON me when he's not around.

PS...I agree with a whoever said it might be nice to ask for a bit of help from your kids paying your bill, especially if they insist on your having the phone they want you to have.
