Thats the Moto G3, not G4 (4th generation) smaller screen, old model

Although still a great phone, if the smaller (but still big) screen isn't an issue and every penny counts.

Even better value. Moto G4 Play under £100

Good spot, G4 Play is better than the full fat G3 for what the OP is considering.

and the moto G4 (non play) back in stock at tesco online @ £149

Add something to the basket to take price over £150 ....then get £25 off using code; TDX-HTNK

so a Moto G4 for £124

Thank you everyone - lots of things to have a look at!
She definitely does want a phone - she wants to use it while she's out and about. If she allowed us to set her up with broadband (she had dial-up and was fine with it, but is refusing to upgrade to broadband) then I'd like to give her a tablet too to use around the house.
One step at a time

If she doesn't have broadband then make sure she has a mobile deal with an inclusive data bundle - either a capped contract or a pay as you go with a data bundle. Pure payg - except possibly on three - could be pricey, depending on how much she checks those headlines.
