Best 'simple' mobile on PAYG

in Mobiles
My mother is in her seventies and uses a mobile quite well, however she feels she isn't getting on with the rather fancy touchscreen one she currently has.
She just wants to make and receive calls and texts, plus take pics of the grand kids so she can send them to all and sundry.
She doesn't need a web browser, music player, etc. Just a simple PAYG phone like they used to be.
Any recommendations, folks?

Budget required, trouble is many cameras on phones are not that great, but adequate.0

She'd be happy paying £50 if that helps. Camera doesn't need to be excellent, adequate will do.0

not sure if still available

Thanks, I saw that one on a recent visit. If it wasn't for her need of a camera that would be perfect. It's a grandmother thing, you see.0
