Any recommendations for mobile phone for old person

[CKP Insolvency MVLs]

I've got an Alcatel One Touch 20.12 Chocolate Brown as a 2nd phone, which seems to fit the bill.

It's on Virgin.
Has large buttons.
Excellent battery life (c. 5 days standby)
Has Bluetooth for connecting in car / headset.
£35 inc £10 top up.

what phone does she use? is it any good?

I'm in the same boat as you - trying to pick one for her...

The Doro 580 seems like a good idea, but I'm concerned she'll go off like a bottle of pop. It's quite tricky addressing dementia with someone with dementia.

There's some good stuff about. My mum has dementia, mild for now, but it turns out there's a whole industry around this with clever gift ideas and such.

Anything that can help her keep quality of life is good by me.

Anything of the pre smartphone era like an ancient Nokia, anything else will confuse them

Just wrap up their old phone in xmas wrapping paper, and tell them you've got the latest new phone

Old relative with eye sight getting worse, needs bigger buttons and mega simple mobile phone. Currently use an ancient Nokia, only for voice calls. Ideally something that would work with their existing Virgin SIM. Any recommendations on device to buy?
