[Electronics-talk] very simple phone

[cheez]

Although they can only be obtained from Yahoo, the Haven may be a workable 
phone for her.
It doesn't have bluetooth capabilities or Internet access, but the 
simplicity of use is good.

have you looked at the phones and plans they offer here?
http://odinmobile.com/
it looks like there phone the "Emporia Essence" might do what you want:
from the site,
The perfect phone for someone who is blind or low vision and just wants to 
make calls. It emphasizes simplicity and ease of use and includes numerous 
accessibility features such as a high contrast screen tested by the American 
Foundation for the Blind, large "talking" buttons and large letters and 
numbers on the screen. In addition, it speaks more functions than any other 
basic mobile phone on the market! For example, it speaks the time, the 
battery level, the number you pressed, "Delete" when you have deleted a 
number, "Call Ended" when a call is over, and much more! It also includes a 
call-for-care emergency button.
