The Simplest Mobile Phone Available
Discussion
I wondered if someone could point me in the direction of the simplest mobile phone that you can currently buy.
Events of today mean that my mum has got to have a mobile phone and she has finally allowed me to get one for her but she is concerned that she won't understand it or be able to use it so I would like something beautifully simple that just makes calls if possible.
Thanks.

+1 for the Doro. I bought one for my mum. Very simple to use, no gimmicks and it has a loud ring and buttons that are easy to press.
It certainly looks like it's the one to go for.I've had a look at some others but they are loaded with tech she really doesn't need and would probably get overwhelmed by.
The most techy things she has ever had in her life are a landline phone she has had for at least 30 years and the tv remote control on which 4 or 5 buttons are used.

That's a bit more like it. Really a seven quid Nokia from Tesco does more, you're just into how much demand there is.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-TTfone-TT59-Dual-2-S...

Economy of scale. Doro aren't going to sell in the same quantities as Apple or Samsung.
There are a couple of ebay sellers who sell "as new" Doro phones for a fraction of the retail price, so I guess that Doro also get a lot more returns than Apple or Samsung which will factor into the price.how about a regular cheap android with a custom launcher screen

that way if one of their friends down the bingo mentions an app or new thing, their phone can probably do it

I'm going to show her a few and see if she wants a simple key pad or super simple with just a few buttons.
