Best Phone for Older Person

    My mother is in her late 60's and wants to get a new mobile phone. She had an old Nokia which she never really got used to using but it is banjaxed now.

    Her eyesight isn't great and she has very little patience for technology so ideally something with larger buttons and a big display. She couldn't care less about a camera, mp3 player etc.

    Is there any phone in particular you would recommend? Most of the family are on Meteor but their range of phones seems quite limited.

    Thanks

    nokia 3120 on metero should do her the finest, it's not overly complicated and has a good clear display...

    My Granny got a phone from Vodafone specifically designed for older people, large fonts, emergency button with a specific number stored, very uncomplicated operation throughout. No idea of the make though, might be worth dropping into a Vodafone shop.

    Thanks Captain Morgan, we'll have a look at that one in the 02 shop too. Looks pretty fool proof!
