Best mobile phone gift for Mother's Day

Mother's day is just round the corner and here are some Mobile phones that you can gift your mother, which she will like and find easy to use.

Mothers are truly special, and with Mother's day round the corner, it is best time to show our appreciation for what they have done for us. Here are some mobile phones that you can gift your mother, which she will like and find easy to use.

iBall Senior

Generally mothers are not very keen on tech, and like simple to use devices. The iBall Senior is precisely the phone that you can gift your mother who is technology shy. 

The phone sports large keypads, and simple call and SMS function without unnecessary clutter. Additionally, iBall Senior has large fonts, amber colour, enhanced sound and comes with feature of SOS button. Within 7 seconds of pressing the SOS button, the handset sends a siren to alert the surrounding people know that the person is in trouble and should be immediately attended to. It also sends SMS to five pre-defined numbers and starts dialling those numbers automatically one after another till one call is attended.

Due to large keypad, it is easy to dial a number and large fonts make it easy to see the numbers. The phone also comes with wireless FM to keep your dear Mom entertained and an easy to switch on Torch to help her in dark. 

The price of the phone is Rs 3,249, which isn't that costly considering its special purpose and design. 

If your mother is very aged and has trouble seeing or hearing you can go for a very similar phone Intex Vision which has the same design but slightly tweaked with Braille letters on the keypad.

Intex Vision is even priced cheaper at Rs 2,600.
