Really simple mobile

[shufflebum]

My dad has finally decided that he would like a mobile for emergencies, he is pushing 80 and still drives so thinks it would be sensible.
He just wants a phone like you use at home, so no text, camera, email, web etc. Does such a thing exist? I guess the keys being quite big would help too. It would be used a couple of times a month so PAYG best option, not too bothered about network as will be used infrequently.

Soory to put such an ungeeky request in the geeky place!

Have done a little bit of googling - prob should have done that first but anyway
Have found the Sagem VS1 and the Nokia 1100 or 1101
Does anyone have any experience of these phones and aging parents/relatives?

I've no experience, but I've had catalogues through the door which include special big-button big-display mobiles for "oldies" - you get a sim card from whatever network you like, then switch it to this phone.

www.matobmobile.co.uk/ this company seem to focus on easy-to-use mobiles etc.

i would second the matobmobile site!
