This is a great phone and large. No camera and although it can receive text messages, it can't send them.

Buy any pay as you go sim card you like.

This one does allow text messaging.

Both have dedicated 'one push' buttons to call pre-programmed numbers, ideal for calling your friend or family quickly and easily.

just did , cheers...not cheap though

If you can cope with normal size buttons and don't need an extra loud ringer, this is an excellent basic and easy to use phone, for under �18.

I'll vouch for that - & 2 quid cheaper than when I bought it

My Nokia 1600 will take some beating for a no-frills mobile, good sized buttons, fairly large text, no camera and an excellent loudspeaker for us hard of hearing.
Can be bought second hand for about �10 - �15, but they are not that expensive if you want new.
