Ebay for second hand.
CPW/e2save/osps/mobiles.co.uk for refurbished.

2. where can a get a cheap mobile its for my mum dont want any of those ones that have small diddy buttons on, any ideas.

The ones with big buttons are not that cheap:
Any mobile phones with big numbers?
Simple mobile phones with big buttons
Large Screen, Large Button Mobile, any good deals
Cheap PAYG Mobile with BIG buttons

....

3. Does anyone know of a list of vodafone call costs /tariff for calling intl numbers - its just for comparison with others cant seam to locate one on their website.

+ the cost of calling 020 access number in UK.

Can't answer your question, but FYI vodafone are a pain in the backside if you are going to use their PAYG free web/text package, my wifes has one & she tops up with £10 as required & it doesn't always get applied & you end up spending £1 per day web access.
Very difficult to get a satisfactory reply from their customer services too.

So if you are looking for a Blackberry for your Mum & she doesn't use the web, make sure you disable web access.

Strangely, simple to use phones with big buttons come at a greater price than complicated phones with millions of buttons !

If you really want the simple to use phone with big buttons DORO is the make for you.

A quick google came up with

but there are other models.
