As most other people have been saying, an old nokia seem most appropriate. But don't get her a chocolate phone as someone said, i dont think they read the question properly, an 80 year old would not cope well with a touch sensitive keypad

Hi, i would advise you get your sweet gran, a Nokia 3120... The reason i chose this phone is because it's my current work phone and is very very basic. No bluetooth, no mp3, no radio, no nothing. Its just a phone being just a phone

hmmmm one with big buttons... the Nokia 6070 is a good phone. Can be found here

Many contracts to pick from including 12MONTH free ones.
I do think that the Nokia 6070 would be the best phone.
Enjoy.

One of the older Nokia's would be best as they are easy to use and don't have all the added extras that the newer phones have. The bonus is they will be cheaper as well!

Nokia 1600. AS easy as they get.
You can get cheap new phones from here. They are part of the carphonewarehouse group and very cheap.
