basic easy to use Handset

rok

Hi all,
I am looking for a basic easy to use Handset for an older relative.
Something like the old Nokia 3310 with few buttons and few complicated menus. Big buttons would be an advantage.
Any tips?

Nokia 3110c.
Big buttons, big text, simple to use.

Nokia 1208?

Nokia 6151. Its idea for an older or unfamiliar phone user. Has the basics and ooks well. The buttons are good size, and the font can be made large.

What about the Emporia Life Plus on o2?

The new emporiaLIFE above all allows you to do one thing: Make calls in an uncomplicated way. Plus the innovative emergency function.
Key features

* Oversized Large easy to use Buttons
* Very Large screen
* Super loudspeaker
* Powerful Vibration
* Digital hearing Aid compatible
* Orange backlight for hard of sight

I would recommend this handset too. It is as basic as they come. Got one for my grandmother for christmas and she is never off it

need one of those for my gran but she'd need a sim free one as she lives abroad. They're bloody expensive as well!

129 is not expensive ! Try 570 for an iPhone now that is what i call expensive!

I need a sim free one and the sim free ones are dearer than the O2 ones

Possibly a bit late for you! but I picked up a Emporia Life Plus for my Dad today on an O2 speak easy upgrade and tried my Vodafone sim in it and it worked fine so they don't seem to be locked and isn't branded.

Got it in an O2 shop which have a 7 day return policy so if you don't like it (or it's locked) you can leave it back;)

That's helpful to know thanks. Might pick one up for my Gran and take it over to her.
