Cheap PAYG Mobile with BIG buttons

smallzoo

My mum does not have brilliant sight and has an old mobile but cant see the buttons very well. Does anyone know of a cheap payg mobile which has nice big readable buttons. The biggest and most readable one we have found is the LG GB220 at Tesco ( £40) but that is being discontinued and is only on T-Mobile which has very poor reception near us. O2 is best or Orange as a second choice

Thanks

Any help? Seems like it will work on any network - O2 are giving away PAYG sims if you need one....

My 83 year old mother has a Doro 345 and likes it a lot. She finds the screen clear and easy to use. (there is also a Doro 342 which is almost identical but does not have bluetooth or radio).
It's not cheap though, you are talking at least £100. You can get it from the RNIB shop.

The RNIB shop as has a slightly cheaper phone (£85) which looks good, but I have not seen personaly.

The Daily Telegraph regularly advertises an 'Easy-to-use big button mobile phone' for £49.99. You can find it on page 24 of today's Telegraph if you are interested.:)

Why don't you just get the LG, have it unlocked (if required) for a fiver and then use it on your preferred network?
