I got my wife a Moto E13 as I did not know if she would cope.
She did.
£69.99 from Argos.
She is on Asda (Vodafone) for £5/mth and 3GB data. Unlimited calls and SMS.
Plenty for her. You can change the plan each month if you want more data or buy add-ons.
It is a month by month contract.
Works OK for her, with big battery, and 64GB memory.
Only has slow charging, but we plug it in O/N.
Hasn't burned the house down yet.
We are happy with it.
I have a Moto G8 Power on Smarty.
I pay £6/mth for 6GB.
Again there is no contract, you pay monthly in advance and can switch auto renew on or off, and change how much data you want.

Becuase Plusnet have stopped doing a mobile service I moved over to a really cheap deal with Lyca. No contract and around £7/month for unlimited calls/texts and a ton of data. Kept the number I was issued when I got my forst phone from Orange in 1996.
Only problem after two months is that calls outwith the bundled range of numbers need cash credit on the account.
I was in London last Friday staying in a Travelodge and needed to check something. Their calls are on a service costing (say) 13p/minute. I had to log into my account and add credit to do that. Having been on a contract for 28 years that was a bit of a surprise.

If you don't want all singing all dancing gaming etc, just a phone for calls and texts/data with a camera then the Moto E should be fine.
Mrs B and I, and our son after the clot left his almost new Pixel in a taxi, all have variations on the Moto G and they're fine.
