An elderly relative wants to have a mobile phone but has never owned or used one before, nor are they confident or competent at using technology in general i.e. they have never owned or used a computer, digital stb, or even a VCR! I have been tasked with finding a mobile phone they would actually be able to use.
I doubt this person would ever get beyond using the phone to make calls and at most perhaps storing a few regularly used numbers. I suspect it won't even be used for texts so camera's, music, images, hd displays, full keyboards and all the other typical mobile phone gimmicks would be pointless here. I just need a real simple, back to basics mobile phone, if such things still exist?
In terms of budget we are really only looking to spend around £30 max as it shouldn't cost much for such a basic spec considering how advanced (even cheap) mobile are now. As it will be a gift we would prefer to buy the phone new as opposed to second hand i.e. on eBay.
Also looking for suggestions on places to buy as I know very little about mobile retailers so links to good deals at onlines stores greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for reading, all contributions welcome!
