I know someone called Brian, who is well placed to give an opinion on mobile phones (and lots more) and his advice, when I asked about that phone was, whatever you do, do not buy that phone! HTH Dave Hi David, That's the first time I have heard anyone say that the Auasys is reliable. Most reports I get it crashes all the time. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Dick Sent: 17 December 2007 23:13 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Choice of Mobile Phone I like you wanted a phone just to make calls etc and went for the owasys available from the rnib. Good and reliable and will operate with your card. Despite the price, just under £300, they charge £7 for the case on top. A good buy no screen and good sized buttons etc no extra functions as far as I understand it.Take a look on the screenless phone demo on their website. Kind Regards David Dick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas Harrison" <harrison1d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 5:27 PM Subject: [access-uk] Choice of Mobile Phone I have to admit that I am one of those strange people who use a mobile phone exclusively for the mundane purpose of making and receiving phone calls. I have little need for text messages and prefer to handle e-mail, web surfing, listening to music etc. with other devices. I have used a Phillips U-phone for many years but sadly it has come to the end of its useful life. As far as I can see there are many phones which I could purchase to replace it but most have a large variety of functions which I would not be using and which would probably make the operation of the phone unnecessarily complicated. I would be interested in any suggestions of an absolutely basic phone, esy to use with no sight and arthritic fingers, and which would preferably take the Simcard from my old phone with its current O2 Pay as You Go balance.
