Review: Replaced mum’s old phone with the same phone. - Mum’s old phone (same as this model) wasn’t holding charge, bought a replacement battery and that failed too. Was delighted to find the same one still available on desertcart. Mum would struggle with a different phone. She is very happy to have a new phone, the same as her old one, that she knows how to use.
