In the absence of the Search facility, I apologise if this has been asked before.

I am trying to find a mobile phone to buy that has keys large enough for someone who has severe arthritis in her hands and finds current models too small to be able to use.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to whether such mobiles exist (a bit like the large, original Motorolas) and, if so where I could purchase one?

Needless to say it doesn't need any frills. Just the ability to make and receive calls,

Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a used Motorola M3788E, ‘largish’ buttons, SIM locked to Orange. No SIM supplied, but you can get them PAYG from £2.99 i.e. from

Leather case and in-car charger supplied. Phone is in very good condition as it was a little used second phone. If it's of any use to your friend, it's theirs for the cost of P&P? If interested PM me.

Thanks very much. I'm not sure, looking at the photo, whether the buttons are large enough. I'll do a bit of research though.

Thanks you for your kind offer. Can I get back to you?

Right, looking around I have a Motorola d460, GSM 900. SIM free so 02 / Tesco mobile or Vodafone / One.Tel only. Large SIM card required (not supplied). Bigger buttons than the 3788. Complete with mains charger and three batteries (exact status unknown).
