Looking for phone suggestions for my parents.
Mum has a "big button phone" (piece of junk really) that gets some use but is dieing and is only 2g. with the shutdown coming need a new phone.
Dad got given a phone (aldi dual sim don't remember now) so he could be contacted in an emergency/etc. doesn't want/use it and somehow killed the battery after 3 months?
Both have aldi sims and I'm looking for something very basic, sms and calls only with a long battery life, preferably with decent text/button size.
Anyway. I've been doing some searching and have shortlisted the the telstra cruise (T126) and telstra T79 (although I'll have to wait until they come on sale again I think).
Does anyone have any other options or suggestions?
Depending on your price range, My Note4 battery lasts quite a while and if they only want to make calls and texts, they can leave it in 'Ultra power saver mode' and I am sure the battery can last a week if they don't use it often.
You can also buy removable batteries for the phone so they could have a backup in the car or something just for emergencies.
Hope I could help :)
PS: Fairly sure its all Samsung phones that have the ultra power saver mode, but I am also sure they all have a simple mode which would help with people just wanting the simple things.
Ultra Power Saving turns the screen black and white and limits your use to only a few apps, not have things running in the background and can make the battery last so much longer.
