Optus recently reduced the Doro Phone Easy 615 Mobile Phone to $99, price includes delivery. Phone is locked to the Optus network.
Why am I posting this? After trying several others, found this phone the easiest to use for a relative who had problems using other phones. Great for seniors and others to use, as the name suggests, because its purpose designed so, see the manufacturer's spiel here: http://www.doro.com.au/products/Mobile-phones-and-accessorie… Highly recommended for that purpose, or anyone else who just wants a simple phone. One feature it has is that all (both incoming and outgoing) SMS text messaging can be turned off completely using the phone's menus, which is handy for those who have trouble dealing with incoming text messages. Also the included cradle is easier to use than a plug in charger.
Although the phone is network locked to Optus, ours accepted a sim from Savvytel (uses Optus' network) without a problem. If wanting one that is not network locked, they are around $150 on eBay.

From manufacturer's website:
Doro PhoneEasy® 615
Easy to use clamshell camera phone

An elegant and durable clamshell phone for answering and ending calls with a simple flip. In addition to raised edges, soft touch coating and widely spaced, concave keys, Doro PhoneEasy® 615 also has an easy to use camera that lets you take and send photos in a snap. Other features include charging cradle, enhanced sound, Bluetooth® and direct memories and SMS button.

      I would buy it if it is $1.99 for my 6 month old baby to play with.

      I wonder why oztonyau posted this deal this year. It would be a bargain in 2003!

        The answer to your question is in the post above.

        A lot of 'Senior' phones cost quite a bit. The Telstra Easycall 2 and 3 for example has a market price (ebay) of $99 and it has specifications that would've made my old Nokia 6288 look like a smartphone in comparison.

        I guess they make em' expensive because they can, and there aren't a lot of senior phones to choose from.

    Used a older model of this phone, think something like a older nokia xpressmusic is better with a faster OS and large icons.

      Some users can't cope with touch screens and their icons, but can cope with opening and closing a clamshell to operate a phone.

    they probably reduced it in price due to all the issues with them.. i know Telstra and Vodafone stopped selling them due to all the returns and the fact that when there are faults u have to return them to Doro and it takes up to 6 weeks for the repair.
