Cheap but simple P+G pls

anonymousie

for my elderly mother to use on giffgaff (so unlocked/O2 locked) and clearly we don't want a top if we can avoid it as we wouldn't use it.

What would you recommend?

What is the priority - cheap or simple?
The cheapest phones are about £5+£10 at CPW (PAYG, but not locked).
For the simplest phones for eldery people see Doro, but they are not that cheap: Mobile for elderly person

How about latest Nokia 105?
Should cost around £13 (plust VAT possibly), last a week on a single charge and be available in few days.

Last year bought Nokia 2220 and she's very happy. Her first phone ever she knows how to set up (date/time, profile etc)

Cheap Doro : £25 http://www.tesco.com/direct/sim-free-unlocked-doro-phoneeasy-506-black/258-8846.prd

Cheap Tariff. http://phone-shop.tesco.com/tesco-mobile/help-and-support/call-charges-payg-litetariff.aspx cheaper then Giff Gaff. No need to top regularly just make a call every 180 days.

Not that I advocate giffgaff, but there is no need to top up there either. And, unlike at Tesco, if there are incoming calls, there is no need to make a call every 180 days.
