I've been looking for something similar for my mother-in-law. A good swap I think. Joking aside, I found a web site that might be useful to you, George: http://www.matobmobile.co.uk/ Cheers Barry -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: 18 February 2009 9:30 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Simple phones - Was: Nokia N95 Hi Gordon, The problem with these phones is they may be too simple. George wanted the ability to receive, but not necessarily send, text messages. None of these phones do this to my knowledge.

My aged mother-in-law (80 ish) does want a camera, radio, MP3 player or any of that rubbish. She simply wants a phone to make and receive calls with, and receive text messages. She's not even too bothered about sending text messages.
