Nokias are always rock-solid in terms of reception and stability, even the entry-level variety. If they have one of those listed I would check it out. ---

I have found samsungs to be good as well if it is a basic phone, not used much, just get something cheap ---

take her to a store and ask for a demo of the phones she likes, she’ll get to see what they’ll be like before spending her cash. ---

i use a 2+ year old Nokia that was $99. The operating system has its hiccups, but is pretty close to a smart phone (lots of apps), no qwerty, but the price is right. pretty good camera, video camera, video and photo editing, google maps with gps. I too vote for a Nokia. Seems like a good value can be had for under $100. ---
