Check out myownfone.com this is a simple printed mobile phone personalised for the individual to keep in contact with the people they need to most. It comes already pre-printed, programmed and works straight out of the box. It could not be simpler. Up to 12 numbers can be stored but normally this is either 4 or 8. The phone receives calls from anybody but just makes outgoing calls to the numbers specified only.

I came across one blog post related to Big Button Mobile Phones for Elderly. The mobile comes with some more special features, cloud connection, Easy Viewing & easy listening, Undisturbed Sleep, Schedule your Outings, If you are away no need to worry about your elderly back at home, SOS emergency System, Easy to Charge and well crafted design phone. I think if you want to give a gift to your grannies or elderly then you must experience the amazing features of the Big Friendly Phone which is perfect for senior citizens. I checked the same at PrePayMania. If you feel its good for your mother then can go with it.

Regardless of it's being spam or not, the phone looks good:

hi, wondered if anyone had up to date recommendations for a
"Big Button" phone for use by elderly person?

the choice on EB*y is mind boggling - with similar phones selling from £29 to £100! We need one that is easy to top up on pay as you go, easy to charge, programme etc.

Topping up bears absolutely no relation to the handset.
What functionality do you need and what exactly do you want to program?

Have a look at Doro range, that, I must say, is the most expensive make.

My partially sighted 74yrs young mum bought a Dora 612 from carphonewarehouse last Saturday.

Big buttons and good screen. She loves it.
