My Ma is thinking about changing her mobile provider, but I have no idea who has good reception where she lives: SK4.
I know 3 is no good. She is with Orange at the mo, which is OK, but their charges are steep.
3's charges are good, but the coverage indoors is rubbish.
She wants to stay PAYG.
She is also thinking about changing her old Nokia for a Doro 612. Apparently, they are well-thought of, especially by Which?. They are not a 3G phone, though, so cannot be used with a 3 SIM.
A smartphone would be nice from the POV of a large screen but she wouldn't use internet (but she would probably use email) so maybe that would be a poor choice.
I have a good knowledge of mobiles but despite research, I don't know a great deal about what is on offer for the elderly or about which providers have good indoor coverage in SK4.
I may have to resort to my own advice: get hold of a few SIM's and try them out inside the house....
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks, guys!
