3G phone with real buttons.

Gloomendoom

Does anybody know of any phones compatible with the 'Three' network that have real buttons as opposed to a touch screen or a QWERTY keypad.

My dad wants a new phone and he finds real buttons easier to use. He's 88, by-the-way, and by no means a technophobe, quite the opposite. He's just not as dexterous as he once was.

Would you consider buying from ebay used phone?
Or does it have to be brand new

Used would be fine.

If you want a 3g phone, you will struggle to get one with numbers alone, and not a QWERTY keyboard.

If you want a basic model without 3g, there's loads if you google it. My nan has this one - http://www.chums.co.uk/Products/AK606/binatone-deluxe-sim-free-big-button-mobile-phone?gclid=Cj0KEQjwvLGfBRDfkrr19KDS-7YBEiQA8CoFJ5MclsAf1E4aLJvs3IVdP2XM4O2SKUUzx3CLC0SzLacaAh7o8P8HAQ

Could you please confirm if you need 3g signal?

Thanks, that would be ideal but he wants to use the Three 123 tariff and, as far as I know, it is only available for 3G phones... although he doesn't actually need 3G functionality.

I've got a couple of old smart phones he could use but he struggles.

A Nokia C2-01 could fit the bill.

I bought one on the 321 tariff for an elderly relative (85) and they use it fine.

FREE unlock here.

Or the slightly newer Nokia Asha 301?

That one is obviously locked to Tesco Mobile, so unlocked versions probably about a tenner more.
