I'm looking to get my very elderly relative a very, very basic mobile phone for her to use while she is in a rehabilitation hospital for a few months following a fall. Ideally, all it will have are the number buttons to dial a number (from a sadly ever decreasing list of phone numbers) and a button to answer/make a phone call, and one to end the call. No texting, no need for a menu of stored numbers (in case someone gets a random call by mistake!) and no additional buttons which could cause confusion.
I have looked on line, and there are some phones for the more senior citizen, but they still seem to have extra functions and buttons which are fine the user is not in a mildly confused/forgetful state of mind. Her current mobile phone is just causing her anxiety as she keeps forgetting how to use it - too many buttons, menus etc.
Does anyone know if such a very basic phone either does exist, or if one was made in the past that I could source on eBay etc. I will just put in a simple pay as you go sim card.
Many thanks!
