Hi,

Please suggest (with link, best price etc if possible) a basic reasonable mobile for parents which is sturdy and able to handle rough and tough uses due to kids at home. Camera, dual sim features are not required, however good to have. Thanks in advance.

We have one Micromax basic phone (model I don’t remember I will check) that cost below 1000 and is still working fine. It’s the one which is wide like a qwerty keypad but doesn’t have qwerty keypad but a normal keypad. Numbers are big enough. Call quality is good. Just I had to download a good ringtone https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif

no phone can survive kids. buy atleast 5 phones which cost 650 and don’t cry if it goes dead.
my son’s adventures

  • found one phone at bottom of hot vessel of kheer.
  • found one phone on society ground hurled from 2nd floor balcony (luckily survived since had silicon case)
  • found one in pieces just because mom refused to take him with her.
  • found one used as a friction car banged arround with metal die cast cars.

lucky not to find one in toilet bowl.

it stopped after he turned 6.

@dealyogi Try Nokia Asha 230 DS. Costs less than 4K with a decently big screen. https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif
