Vodafone also have a product called Vodafone Simply. There are a couple of handset options which have big screens, are user friendly, nice sized buttons. My mother suffers with crippling arthritis and she uses the Vodafone Simply phone easily.

Hi, Don't know if this might interest you, but you can get speaking phones from Vodafone which will read out what is on screen. See -

Also if you go into your local vodafone store and pick up a catalogue, they feature Vodafone 'simply' which are phones specifically designed to be easy to use, including some with large keypads.
Have a look round a few phone shops, preferably with the person you are buying for, and see what they like best.

I believe Vodafone have produced an extremely 'user-friendly' model on PAYT. This is exclusive to Vodafone and I only wish I could find one of my previous catalogues to give you the exact phone. Never mind, pop in to one of their showrooms and enquire about this. I am not sure if the buttons are bigger on the model I am describing, but I do know this phone has been recommended for its simplicity of style and easy-to-access functions.

Everyone seems to be going smaller and smaller, the only mobiles specifically marketed with big buttons (as far as i know) are the Vodafone simply handsets.

Hi I found this phone!! Not sure what shops you can get it in though!! Probably best to shop around at phone shops that sell mobile phones for various phone networks. E.g. Phones4u or The Link!!
