    Hello all,
    Calling on your help please.
    I need to buy a big button mobile phone in the morning so friends and family can communicate with someone in hospital.


    Can I buy one in a shop here in Limerick in the morning that's ready to use?


    Many thanks,
    Brian


    PS, I know there is the online option, but it's an urgent requirement. Thanks again.

    There are plenty phone shops in Limerick anyway!
    Most will stock big button phones.

    Thanks Colm,

    I understand that. I was really hoping I'd get a reply along the lines of X shop has them with Y network or SIM free type of thing. Last time I got one, a few years ago now, may I add; it was a trawl through most of the plenty of phone shops. I suppose the sales managers were interested in selling the new shiny types rather than...anyway I hope you know what I mean. Thanks again.

    They’re all sim free unless you’re buying from a network store.

    Carphone warehouse have the Doro phones, but they’re €80-90 whereas a lot of the less fancy shops will have them for a lot less.
    Pair sells them for €69. They’re in the Crescent.

    Perfect. Many thanks Colm.
    That's a relief to know that I can run in and grab one, naturally I'll pay before I run out again.
