Question Phone for the car-please advise

Greeting drivers


I think I have to break down and actually buy a phone (yes a cell phone)
for my car.
Was hoping for some advice on what to get.
Don't need internet, or anything but the phone capability.....
I only want to use it from my car, and leave it in my car...
never had a need, but with a young one entering public school, I'd like to be
reachable while out and about if need be


any comments/thoughts could be helpful

I have a Nokia installed in my 1991 300ce 24v, it works great and it came with the modem and phone and about 90 % of the stuff you needed to instal it like the antenna and aux mic. It was relatively cheap too under 250 back in the day

Help me out here…do you not have a cell phone you normally carry? I was curious why it would be a phone just for your car.

Is there any phone that would not work with this car? Every currently available phone must support bluetooth HF profile for calls? MB USA may have a limited list of phone models but for basic telephony all should work.

Agreed. An iPhone would be the best choice for the upcoming Carplay integration and current media interface
