How can someone communicate via the internet without using WebTV or a computer?

My mother-in-law received a Microsoft "Internet Companion", primarily for emailing relatives.

She has had it for 2 yrs but Microsoft has not ceased to "service" her Internet Companion. She now has a WebTV which is causing her tremendous problems (she's 85 mind you). Is there a simpler way for her to communicate via the Internet?

A few companies make e-mail only devices I found this JVC Portable E-mail Device

for $49.00 Unlimited e-mailing service is $9.95 per month. http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?cid=46813&PAGE=PRODUCT&PROD_ID=2731&fp=F&kid=196686&cid=46813&GTSE=goto&GTKW=E mail Device
