My mum would like one to replace her ancient Nokia clamshell type thing but she is adamant she doesn't want a smartphone.

Bar cups and string, do you have any you would recommend?

Battery life and ease of use are must-bes...

get yourself on ebay and get her a Nokia 6310. Battery lasts about a week and a 5 year old could get it to work.

Nokia 100'll be ideal.
£25.00 or less new - Battery appears to almost last for ever.
Easy to use, simple voice and text phone.

They seem pretty tough too - I got one for my mum about 6 months ago, and given the number of times it's been soaked whilst out walking the dogs, or generally battered about in the stables / over on the allotment, it's still working fine.

I did get a packet of stick-on screen protectors for it too tho', just to make it's life a little bit easier.

Doro (?) or Binatone make some VERY basic looking phones. Bought a Binatone one for my Gran. She keeps it charged up but never takes it anywhere. 🙄

Samsung Keystone II.

I got a bunch of them unlocked (but with an O2 PAYG package included) for £5 from Tesco.

Great battery life. Easy to use. Really small too.

Did I mention that they were £5 unlocked?!
