Default Mobile Phones for old people with the shakes and deteriorating eyesight
Is there such a thing a nice simple mobile handset with a clear display and big buttons?

My father in law is struggling to use a 'normal' phone following a stroke.

Hmm sounds like the buttons on the 3109/3110 classic may meet his needs, unsure about the screen though.

I got one each for both my parents.

I think I've got an old nokia in the kitchen drawer with big sticky-up buttons.... I'll have a look tonight.

I'll send you a pic or link and if it's OK then You can have it FOC.

Cheers

Thanks Shaun.

However, I think given his state of heath it needs to be a full on chunky one with simple one touch dials etc.

Hope all are well

All's well in the whitehead household at the moment, we are trying to move but the housing market is dead.
