Mobile phone with keypad

Options
Hi,

Can you recommend a good mobile phone with a keypad, my mum cant work smartphones and she wants a good quality phone that just makes calls and texts. Also who would be the best retailer to try. I was thinking a Nokia would be best but not sure which model

Thanks for your help

    Big? Small? 'Candybar'? Flip?

    Start with CPW. For the best prices see Pay As You Go Upgrades - if you can qualify for this.

    Cheapest is this Alcatel Tribe 30.03G for £10.99 in conjunction with a 99p unlock code.
  • Nokia is good, but the latest nokia feature phone are not that good, because many of them have some software issues.If you want Nokia maybe you should look for some older models on amazon and ebay.

    My suggestion :

    Nokia - new : 301, 206
    Nokia -old : x1-01, 7020, 2700, 6300

    If you want some other brand, maybe Doro or Alcatel

    Doro : 506,508, 610, 612.....
    Alcatel : 2001, 2040, 2005(my friend have this one and he is happy with it.)
    some sites :carphonewarehouse, piximania.co.uk, mobicity.co.uk, handtec.co.uk or simply type model which you want and search on net.

    It's worth noting that many (all?) Doro phones and some some Nokia phones are 2g only and won't work on '3'. Some other networks reportedly are gradually reducing 2g coverage after 4g introduction.
