As if things couldn't get any worse my Mum has dropped her faithful and trusty Sony. I have seen adverts for 'phones with large buttons and stuff but they charge the earth for them. Has anyone any experience of simple 'phones that just text and call?
I would be extremely grateful for advice. I have to go out shortly so I'm not ignoring any replies. Will pick up later.

An elderly gent i know has a Doro phone, very clear buttons and easy to use. he got his at Tesco, think around ÂĢ45 .Orange shop has them too
Thanks! I'll look that up.
Sorry DORO, not Dora x
Yes, i wonder why
Can I also suggest a flip phone? My mum is 60 but is a nightmare with phones and has had to get a flip phone because she thinks she has hung up on a call but hasn't and it eats the credit. She also used to put her phone in her pocket and end up somehow ringing people who got to talk to her ass 
Just a thought.
There's this one Joe....

..I got my dad the flip cos he broke his screen practicing his parashute rolls while out walking....
I saw some in Sainsburys (in the sale) . They looked the business - I wish I'd bought one for my mum - might be worth trying on line!

That's the one we got for my MIL. We got it 'sim free' from Amazon. Think it was around ÂĢ20. You can get free sim cards from most providers.

they love them, large buttons, loud ringtone and as it's flip they're not ringing people unknown to themselfs.
