Have a look at the Doro range http://www.doro.ie/mobile-devices/easy-phones.html?SID=o406k1f1a2bdfd278hu0s7io34kjeq57

A few of my older relatives have them and they like them. Some of the Irish networks sell them.

We bought a doro for the father in law, it has an emergency button on the back and 3 contacts that it will dial automatically. Would you not consider a cheap smartphone? (couldn't let the F in L use a smartphone he wouldn't have a clue) but sometimes i think it would be abetter option.
