> Best Kids phone?

My little 5 year old niece has been asking me for a mobile phone so I'm a bit lost on what to get her and since she is so young and this will be her very first phone I cant just get any basic phone so it needs to be child friendly so any recommendations would be helpful.

A 5 year old with a mobile??
Why?? Just buy her a pretend one. I can't think of any. I guess one of them cheap Alcatel ones are the best bet. There is some at Carphone

Because she really wants one and her parents like the idea too Toy ones are just that toys and don't work which defeats the purpose.I have seen child specific ones that don't have a keyboard and just have dedicated mum & dad keys which the parents can pre-programme their numbers into the phone also has panic alert and learning games its this kind of phone im after but they for the u.s market.

Just buy her a yendo in a nice color. Put some music on it for her and block the Internet functions. Its cheap and the pic ideas are clear and easy to use when the kid needs to call someone

What the SE yendo?won't that be too much for a 5 year old even with the internet disabled?

A nephew of mine had a Foony some years age, those were nice little phones for kids, but I haven't seen them lately, apparently the brand doesn't exist anymore.
But some phones for the elderly also have an SOS-button and the option to pre-programme numbers, they might be suitable for young children aswell.

That Doro is the kind of phone I'm after but something with a screen and a few built in games would be perfect.
