Basic Phone & BB Package suitable for OAP - Help please

Hi all,

Can someone recommend a reasonably cheap phone and BB bundle that's suitable for an OAP, the phone is most important as parents don't have mobile phones are a technophobes to put it bluntly - the BB part not so important as only ever used maybe for a few weeks per annum when family visit with their WiFi enabled devices. Given above inflation rise in Landline rental, proving difficult to find an ISP that basically is not a rip off adding bells and whittles that are of zero value and basically cannot be utilised.

    Thanks for replies, having busted a gut, I've managed to source a PluS Net package that hits all the buttons with a total yearly outlay of £160.00, Quidco are offering £70.00 cash back and Plus Net £35.00, so it's a £260.00 package BB and unlimited UK calls, upfront 12 moth line rental and no router as have an expensive Apple router already and a spec AC router should it be required - its also a 12 month contract, which beats TalkTalks 18 month rubbish with the TV nonsense.
