RMD - pensioner phone

Hi guys. I gave Mum my three week old IPhone 4 last year when I got my BlackBerry Passport and she hates it. She said I can have it back if I get her something with buttons on, and I can use it in my Fallout 4 pip boy. Unfortunately I've got no idea which is a good phone with buttons on.. I think she would find my old Blackberry Bold a bit daunting as the buttons are multi purpose and not just numbers..

Cheers.

My mum was using quite a nice LG phone. Was ancient but it had massive keys, the battery lasted for days and was easy to use. Not sure you can get them anymore.

But it didn't look much different to this:

Anything made by Nokia for the third world.
I'm not looking forward to my Sony Ericsson Elm dying. Two weeks on standby and no longer available.

Doro phones are meant for the elderly. They're a bit crap though if you ask me.

Well before the Iphone she had a Nokia thing that we paid £5 for about five years ago and she was fine with that. The Iphone was an attempt to get her on the internet and Facebook etc but it's just too small (which was my complaint.. The BlackBerry Passport has a huge square screen).

For her birthday my wife and I gave her one of those 6" Amazon Fire things and that has hit the sweet spot and now she's sharing her life with her old chums on Facebook. So the Iphone is basically just sat there doing nothing atm. I'm sure I can find her something

I bought this for her. Similar to her old one but massively updated and more modern.
