My Dad (61) is getting rid of the landline as the eircom rent is too expensive and he is away working for long spells. So he wants a mobile. Bear in mind he has never used a mobile and is not tech savy at all. So I am looking for advice for a pay as you go mobile and a model that is simple to use, can text and be used as a phone only. Any recommendations?
Thanks
 
Just got the simplest phone I could get on the market for an elderly relative - the Vodafone (Sagem) Simply VS1 - big phone, well spaced out keys, simple to use - even the manual is written for the non technical!)

And the best bit - €49 Ready to Go with €80 credit (€20 immediately and €10 a month for 6 months)

The relative is well happy. (Bear in mind there is no camera no extras no nothing on this phone except phone calls and texting!!) He is getting about a week standby on it as well whilst using the phone each day.
 
I got this phone for my Mum/Dad with exactly the same requirements in mind as you do. If they can use it anybody can. It's just the job.

Had a quick look for it on the Vodafone site but can't find it at the moment. Could you tell me where did you buy it as it might solve a birthday present problem?

Thanks.
