Feature phone

CupofTea

I'm looking for a phone for my dad (not a touchscreen for convenience) and the only one that looks like it will last some time is this one http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-mobile-nokia-c1-01-warm-grey/210-9616.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=210-9616#BVRRWidgetID

All the others look too basic/cheap. Can anyone suggest any better? It seems a good price but it's not easy to find basic phones nowadays. He really only uses it to call and text but I don't like any of the ones I've seen under £20.

I have work issued C1-01, its perfect for simple usage. It calls/texts and the battery life is about 7 days (even with general use)! It has a FM radio that your dad may welcome at some point later. I'd not bother looking much furthur for a down to earth "normal" mobile!

That's great. I wonder if you can use O2 sims in a Tesco mobile? Or is it easy to unlock? Or better, free?
