Mobile Phone Replacement

Hi, not been here a while. My elderly mum needs a new phone. Mine is Motorola G14 and she likes mine. I've had mine 2 years. The most similar I have read is g24. I don't want to pay more than £100. Argos had one but not in stock or for delivery in my area. I only have a week before her birthday. Also it has a supplied charger which is important. Can't be sure on Amazon not renewed or refurbished. Don't want that. Anyone else know how I can get one quickly? Thank you.

The successor to your G14 is the G15, currently £140 at Argos.
Better value (today) is the G35 at £100

There is generally no charger included with new phones as they can use any USB lead and plug adaptor.1 -
The G24 is an outlier in that respect, it does come with a charger confirmed on the Motorola UK website.Grumpy_chap said:

It's just that she currently has Apple iPhone6 which is old. We can't afford Apple anymore so moving to Android which probably affects the charger she has?0

cex has a lot of used/reconditioned phones which might get you something better than you expect at a reasonable price. They also have phone cords and plugs which will be suitable for an android for about £2 total. Ikea also sell these new quite cheaply. Assuming you have either one of these conveniently close to you of course....I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Unlikely if the charger has a USB outlet which has been the standard for many years. Most phones need a charger with a 5W to 15W output, the phone will take what it wants so if a low output charger it will take forever to charge - my new phone charges much quicker on my old charger than the phone it came with did.JLMartin said:It's just that she currently has Apple iPhone6 which is old.
