Flip Phone for Senior / GSMA Compatible

I have purchased a 1 year RedPocket GSMA plan, and paired it with an iPhone, but it's too complicated for my [very] elderly mother. Can someone please recommend a new or used elderly friendly flip-phone that is compatible with their GSMA plan!

I made the mistake of buying an AGM M8 flip (eBay), only to discover it will only work with GSMT. RedPocket customer service tells me there's no way of converting my brand new GSMA plan to GSMT. So, instead, I'm looking for an inexpensive flip phone - just for phone calls.

My mom is over 90 years old; I would prefer large buttons and no "extra" buttons on the keypad. The AGM M8 was ideal due to its large size (easy elderly grip) and extra long battery life (14 days on standby). My mom is in and out of the hospital, so a phone that lasts more than a week is ideal. You don't think of "let me grab the charger" when being transported by ambulance.

Please recommend a new/used flip phone with good battery life that is RedPocket GSMA compatible.
