ASDA is ahead by a nose at the moment. Can pay £10 for a 200 min call
bundle that should last her few days in hospital. After that normal top
ups do not expire providing 1 call is made every 3 months. If I keep
reminding her to charge it hopefully she will be able to call a cab
when she walks too far and can't get back home.

Charge it from what?
they will probably not allow her to have a mains charger or will charge
her for an expensive PAT test.

You may need a spare battery and charger so you can swap it when you
visit.

When she was in a different hospital earlier in the year there was no
problem charging from the mains. Just needed someone to plug it in and
remove it for her.

Stay is expected to be 3-4 nights including some time under a general
anaesthetic. Phone has 27 days standby or 4 hours talking so it may not
need a charge.
