Nokia 1208 is excellent for all your needs - the reception on this basic phone is better than the more expensive phones I have. Texting is so much easier than trying to use touch screen phones.
Its even got a torch feature and you can type your own poly ringtones if you feel a bit bored.

And it only cost me a fiver when I got it with a £5 credit included. Go figure.

If you want a specialist "easy to use" phone then the Doro might be worth a look, for example
