Simple easy mobile phone wanted
I need to find a simple easy to use mobile phone for a relative of mine.
It has to have big buttons as they have very big fingers. And biggish screen.
All they want to do is make and recieve calls.
They have already had a binatone big button phone. And cracked the screen and the battery is now duff.
It also needs to be hard wearing as they work outside so it needs to be robust.
They want to spend approx £50 ish and they are on orange.
I am stumped on what to suggest. So any suggestions I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance.

I looked at the JCB and landrover mobiles a few months ago. And they well out of the person price range.
I did almost mention that I thought that was the one for them for being robust. But was out of there price league.
Maybe he will have to have very early Fathers day/Birthday/ Xmas present from his three lovely children.

Sadly all those threads contain the same phone I have already bought my father and he has now broken.
He did not find it easy to use. The problem is that there is three wants
1) easy to use
2) easy to read screen and big buttons
3) and robust
I can sort of get the first two in one phone. But the sticking point is number three.
With the JCB and landrover phones I can get number 3 but I don't think the first two are really there.
Gap in the market any one?
