What we have found to be the best is the DORO 410.

Available from Amazon for about £105. It is unlocked.

I can also confirm the DORO 410 is extremely good.

It is pricey - tends to be around the £100 mark, but if the Orange £5/month tariff is appropriate, it is available for free (that comes with 50 minutes and 50 texts each month, and another handset 18 months later). It is a 36 month contract - but if remaining on PAYG means a £10 top up would be added three times or more a year it could be significantly cheaper this way, and avoids upfront costs now. A contract phone may, however, be completely inappropriate if there is a risk of your mum accidentally running up a huge bill.

There is also an additional £30 cashback to be had via quidco.com for this deal. (The tariff is called Orange 5) http://www.quidco.com/orange

most motorolas are pretty good. my mum had hearing aids and was able to use these.

also you can get a loop system in the house that would allow her to hear better but this is at home only
