My parents need new cell phones, they have 8 year old flip phones, but screen is too small and black/gray is too hard to read for them.

 

 

 

Anyone recommend a new phone?

 

happy to buy online.

 

 

 

Requirements in order of importance:

 

1. Not a smart phone, T9 txt and calls only is fine.

 

2. large buttons.

 

3. bright high contrast screen.

 

4. cost of less than $150

 

5. good battery life (a few days).

 

6. best if works with Voda, but flexible on that.

 

7. flip style is good.

 

8. camera is nice.

I am really enjoying the nokia 3310 3g, $99 from spark (locked) cost another $30 to unlock it.

 

Otherwise a re-release of the nokia 8110 i also coming (don't know if it will end up in NZ however).

I don't think you can beat the Doro flip phone for this: https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/shop/cBRAND_DORO-p1.html

 

I bought one for an elderly relative a few years ago and they were very pleased with it
