Hi Ibrahim

I agree, absolutely, but Jim said he has limited funds, and unless he goes
to the second-hand market, I could only think of the Alto2 as a quick
solution.

Hi Jackie.

Surely the Alto 2 is a very basic phone which has very limited features. 
You couldn't compare the two devices if you tried, and Jim would be losing a

lot of functionality by moving to such a cheap dumb phone.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Jim

With limited funds, and in keeping with the type of phone you already have,
perhaps the nearest would be the Alto2 from RNIB?  I suggest this because it
is unlocked, and will enable you to simply swap over your Sim card.  It also
has a tactile keypad, and you wouldn't need to purchase a Talks upgrade
because speech is built into the Alto2.

I hope this helps give you some food for thought.

Hi Lists,

Apologies for cross posting but I need as much advice as possible.

I thought the battery had died on my C5 but tests prove this not to be the
case.  I have been informed that is probably a display malfunction or even a
motherboard issue.  The display will cost £25-£30 alone to rectify, with
possibly a similar amount for the motherboard replacement.

Rather than spend such an amount on repairs I was wondering if anyone can
point me to a replacement of some kind.  Funds are limited at the moment so
I will need to consider very carefully what are my options.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Jim Williams
