My Dad is about the same age as your husband. I gave him my old Samsung Galaxy S5 when I upgraded. He's never been intimidated by technology, but he doesn't use use his phone to capacity. I was very excited when he got an app on his own, and even set it up.
My Mom, on the other hand, she can't put her iPhone down.

Brief digression here....
Irene, I wish I could get my husband interested in using a smart phone. He's 76 and uses a flip phone, and is happy with that. He's not the least bit interested in knowing how to text or use a computer or a smart phone....yet he depends on me to send emails or texts for him now and then! He doesn't mind getting the benefits of computer/smart phone technology....like when our satellite goes out and I can switch the TV to a channel on the Roku so he can continue watching what is usually some sport event....he likes that, but has no clue on how it works. or even how to use the remote to get to the Roku!!! Kind of sad, I think.
I think it's great that this technology is here, and I like having some modicum of understanding as to how it works....good for you on getting a new phone so you can use skype......you can get to video chat with your daughter if she has skype!
