Yes, we use the doro flip phone and we're very pleased with it.

Re: Advice

Yes Dylon,

The new Nokia 3310, my Husband has one as he is not very Technical minded, its really easy to use, 1 button to make call, 1 button to end call.

You can buy it from ebay or Car Warehouse and quite cheap as well and it is Pay As You Go.

Have a look at DORO phones

I have a Doro 6250 phone, about £45 (I think) from Tesco
It's simple; has phone, text, camera, and just enough other features for an old technophobe like me to cope with

Most makers of phones, cameras, and so on now only give you the absolute minimum of instructions, you are expected to either magically know these things, or find them on your computer.
But a company called Printed-manual will print off & bind all the instructions for you for a reasonable fee
I think it was about £12 for my Doro, but again I can't remember exactly

I have had a Nokia phone in the past, and considered a simple one this time, but eventually settled on the Doro

WARNING - You say you want pay-as-you-go, and this indeed is the right choice if you are sure you are only going to be a light user

Mobile phone companies will moan like hell if you want to reduce a contract, and fight tooth and nail if you want to cancel it

I had a 4 month struggle with Vodaphone to cancel my contract, ending up with an argument in their shop
They have a dreadful reputation for customer service and faulty accounting, just search Google about it

My technical consultant ( my son) is happy enough to go to a dedicated mobile phone shop and swap jargon, but he recommended that I go to tesco
And yes, they were helpful, patient, and polite. Plus you get Tesco club points when you buy top-up in a Tesco

Re: Advice

I've just checked; the printed manual supplier is

www.smartphone-manual.com

They are also known as

www.oldtimercamers.com

as they started out reprinting manuals for obsolete cameras
They now do manuals for phones, tablets and various consumer goodies

Re: Advice

Mr Mags has a Doro pay as you go phone, I can't remember which one it is at the moment. He wanted an easy to use phone and this fits the bill for him.

Re: Advice

I have got a Doro 5030 it isn't a smart phone though but has been a good little phone....
