A good basic phone without any frills

Her only requirement is to call. Not even SMS.

But I'd prefer something that has a okish sized screen, FM (with recording) and music function that can keep her entertained during the summer power cuts!

Looked at Nokia 107, 108 but I'd prefer a slightly larger screen.

Found this Lava Arc 12i interesting. Thinking of adding up another 200 bucks to get the Lava Arc 22.

Anyone with Lava.. how are the phones? Or should I stick to Nokia? Also do these Lava phones have FM receiver built in or do we need to plug in the headset?

Maybe something from the Asha series, if a Android is required then Galaxy S Duos but its old now.

but seriously i dont think lava ...is a good option though the battery life and the service centers isn"t great depending on the area... i am talking from my own experience and i cant trust the company much somewhere i heard the battery blew up...cause they using the cheap one's but i cant trust Nokia anyways like u said 107,108 models is good in that option u mentioned

Karbonn K9 or Micromax Bolt X351. But I would prefer Nokia 107/108 They look good and get the job done.
PHones I mentoned above also look good. All these phones requite antenna for FM unless otherwise mentioned.

Stick with Nokia if you want a dumb phone.

Yup. I would also recommend getting a mid-range Nokia. At least you know that the device would be a quality product and battery life should be good.

Thanks. I always would have fallen back on Nokia, but was exploring other options.

Btw, Nokia 220 still not yet launched in India? Any guesses to the expected price?

Got this one ultimately.
Awesome battery backup. Wireless FM with recording and a decent music player.
