mobile phone with larger text

Hi
My daughter has just given me her old phone (She has just got an upgrade)
which is a samsung E530, the phone is ok but when I receive a txt I cannot read it without putting my reading glasses on (me being a more mature person!). I never had this problem with my old phone. I'm now looking to buy a new mobile but don't know which models use that tiny txt or the larger txt. If anyone can give me some clues as to which models to look at I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

    Hiya

    Ive just seen this after googling

    "Display settings - This connects you to all of the options available to change how your information is displayed on screen, from colour , text size and also to enable you to change the wallpaper or templates that appear when you open your phone."

    The display settings on the e530 are only for wallpaper, brightness and colour.
    I can change the txt when sending however it does not save and when receiving txt it is tiny.

    Hi

    The majority of new Nokia phones give you the option to change the text size to large.

    I'd say the text is about the same size as I'm typing in now but with a bold font.

    Ask for a demo in the shop to make sure!
