What does the relevance of LNG have to do with your post?

Seriously, if you wanted to tell everybody that , you didn't have to add the rest of it. I suppose nobody else has done their internship in LNG. By the time you announce it on ground, too, and have your haters do something more "spectacular" than interning at LNG to you...

Smh. Nigerians and their need for unnecessary details just to show people what they don't care for.

Htc one m9

mimicious:
Why don't u buy a blackberry phone. New one. At least she Wil be familiar with the buttons

Brilliant!!!

Mid 50s is not aged! Will suggest something with a real keypad to start with. Once she's used to that she can move up to touchscreen.

Android phones are not known for ease of use particularly for pple nt tech savy. And Android fone all operate within similae parameters cos they are "android fones" so 20k or 90k they require similar levels of tech dexterity. Nokia Torch all d way will do

Techno L5 should be okay for her, the battery sef na die

Just buy her a good Nokia Touch light phone; if any change is left, you can get her some nice gift like wrapper, jewelry, footwear...
A smart phone may be too sophisticated for her to use except she it literate in smartphone use and can operate social apps to chat with you.

eleojo23:
Android phone between 30-40k is not low tech. Unless you won't mind her calling you all the time to ask how to 'operate' the phone (even when you are at work or in a business meeting), then you can go ahead and buy her something within that range, if not, just get her something simple.
There are still good phones of less than 20k.

I understand that you want to spend some good money on her (no amount is too much to spend on one's mum ) but i suggest you get her a simple phone and another gift to accompany it (something she will really appreciate).

can you give examples of good android fones less than 20k pls?

ERONX:
Get her a Techno L8

Technology L8 abi Tecno L8??

MOTOROLA T190

Dottore:

na wha 2 u o!

Lumia

Old dogs don't learn new tricks.
If this adage is anything to go by, then do get your mum a phone that she's conversant with. Probably, a QWERTY phone or a Blackberry etc.
Touch screen phones aren't loyal. Lol. The settings and many functions are too unnecessary for 'aged' parents.

I remember trying to 'impress' my parents by buying them some high tech phones, some years back,. For some GOOD 12months, my dad only used his touch phone as voice recorder, video camera and for receiving files while tenaciously holding on to his old LG phone for phone calls, messaging etc.

On the other side, mama used hers, fairly well however, she never fancied all of the paparazzi that comes with torch phones. She likes them simple, user-friendly. So we had to change her phone from Lumia to Q5. I would suggest you ask your mum, her preference so you don't buy what mama wouldn't use. Alternatively, you could take her to a phone mart for shopping. This would save you from the many 'troubles' of being her mobile phone manual and operator.
