A grandmother would be most suited to a slightly older phone that generally only has two main functions of texting and phoning. Newer, more expensive phones will be too confusing for a grandmother to master and as she wants to spend as little as possible, she should buy a slightly older phone.
I would suggest a Nokia 3310 which can be bought for approximately £30 - £40 on sites such as amazon or as she is a grandmother she may prefer to go into the shop and buy it. A review on amazon says this:
No frills/camera/bluetooth or any of that. What it does have is :
* Good sound quality
* Easy to navigate buttons and menu functions/address book
* Alarm that sounds even when the phone is switched off (some of the more recent models dont, which is a pain as I use my phone as a wakeup alarm when travelling)
* decent battery life - I tend to recharge overnight, but it can last a few days in a pinch.
* Solid build. Mine has been knocked around a fair bit, and is showing signs of wear on the case, but it still functions perfectly.
* vast range of changeable covers. Not my cup of tea, but if you want to colour co-ordinate then you can, they are sold cheaply at any market stall.
* fairly cheap to buy these days.
This is exactly what the grandmother needs and a bit more if she wishes to use them such as the alarm and game features.
