Really looking for something along lines of 10 - 15 pounds.

    Tesco were selling an unlocked (so any network) phone for £11, called something like the VX1 ??? It was in big display units by the entrance. That was a small phone, but I noticed the keys were big.

  • Just got a phone for my mother at the weekend. It was £30 (so a bit out of the price range you stated) on Amazon. It's called a Binatone Mimo. It's GSM so will work on any network except Three.
