I am elderly and I follow Martins Investment tips on my husbands lap top.  I do not have a computer and I have no wish to get one.  My mobile phone is one of the early ones - for making telephone calls and receiving - I have no wish to upgrade to the all singing all dancing!!   
Can I get any advice on the best Bond Rates via Telephone or Post please?  All I see is online or App applications which are no good to me.

    This link has filters for post and telephone applied. If you want to apply further filters, click full search. Personally, I’d consider Skipton BS.

    I'm not sure what website/messages you're receiving but Martin Lewis does not give any investment tips and any that use his name are scams so be very careful.

    If you're using your husband's laptop to view, can't you use it for other things too? Surely it's not an issue to open an online account with it, no need to have a phone app for that.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    As per the previous posts, the MSE site does not offer 'Investment Tips'

    I guess you mean the general guidance on whose paying the best savings rates.

    If this is the case you can see from this comparison tables, how each account is opened/managed.
