Hi All
Trying to find a mobile phone for my friends granddad, the phone is to replace his landline as the line rental fee isn't worth paying as he only uses the phone for incoming calls, so the idea is to go for a mobile (obviously no line rental). We're trying to find one that charges on a cradle (similar to normal house phone) but can be taken out when he goes shopping and just placed on the cradle when he's in (we're trying to sort things out so that he doesn't ever forget to charge it).
Does anyone have any ideas? £40/£50 is the budget.
Thanks

If it wasn't for the mistakes I made in the past (and learned from), I wouldn't be who and where I am today. It doesn't matter if you've cocked up, what matters is that you put it right and apologise. x
