Hi there Im looking for a cheap mobile to get my dad, He wants something a bit more updated from his old phone that he has had for 5 years:eek: The only trouble he has is the fact he has HUGE fat fingers and finds it hard to text without hitting the wrong buttons.

He is on virgin at the moment but I guess thats makes no odds really, I dont want to spend too much money but just something a little more 2007:D

Many thanks

    Maybe there is a friend or family member with an old phone he could have - that's what we do with ours, provide the grandparents from teenage childrens of friends!
