A question for the fount of all knowledge:

I'm seeking a simple mobile phone that will be easy for an elderly person to use.

Requirements as you'd imagine -
[list]
[*]Easy to read - eyesight getting poor[/*]
[*]Simple to use - processing skills not as good as once were[/*]
[/list]
Battery life, size etc. all very much secondary concerns to the above.

I'm sure I've seen similar topics before but can't find them - and things may have moved on.

All advice gratefully received.

I think the Doro brand ones are the go-to fisher-price style phones for the oldies.

lots of options, from speedial 4x button to flip phones. etc
