Im looking for another cheap phone for my elderly dad as its so hard to find the one i need,he uses a old samsung sgh e250 slde which is great

but battery is dead now,if its 10 years old and like a brick it aint a problem.

It needs to be a slide (slide to answer and slide to end call) and a dam good battery life,its hard for him to press a button to answer so there large

button ones i have tried 2 and also there not that loud on the ear piece,if there are anyone who knows of any like this ''slide to take call and close to end''

Just please give me the names......Thanks.

    And I answer myself, yes it is! There are brand new batteries available for between 2 and 8 quid, or a replacement identical phone for around 15. Good luck!

    Battery for around £5,that's worth looking into as the ones i looked was £10 area and as you said a phone for £15 but is it going to be any good.

    If i can get a new one or close to new it would be great..........Cheers for the quick look.
