Just a warning, I've been having horrible success with data on the instinct. As a phone its great. But they've already switched out my phone once (8 days now) and the data still is not working after multiple calls to CS. The last rep told me they are having a "lot of bugs with the instinct data system" and suggested I return it
I'm returning it and gonna wait for the Pro on 10/19. But thats not for your mom
