So you can just go for Nokia 105 or Samsung Keystone 2 E1205 or Tecno T342; there batteries are very strong and you can use them to make calls and send SMS for almost the whole day before charging.
Now is it a smartphone that you need to buy?
There are different categories and brands of smartphones commonly available, and the most common and the ones I will advise you to go for are Android Phones, Apple Phones, Windows Phones and/or Blackberry Phones.
Amongst these 4 major categories mentioned; which platform and which particular phones in any of the categories will you suggest and that will suit you?

Then for Apple phones, you should know that if you are using Apple Phones outside America, especially in many African countries, you will not be able to enjoy the full potential of owning an Apple smartphone; other than that Apple phones are wonderful pieces of devices with masterpiece design, built and functionalities.
If you are loaded in cash, the best Apple phone currently available is iPhone 6 Plus and it will cost you about $900 to $1000 (1800K to 200K) to obtain one. iPhone 6 is equally good as the iPhone 6 Plus and with little reduced prices, and you can keep about $700 to $800 (150K to 160K) for it.
Or you can consider going for the lower versions in iPhone 5 and iPhone 5 S that can save you huge cost and still serve a good purpose for you.

Then coming down to Windows phones; Windows phones are not really doing great in the market currently and demand for them are quite low.
Everybody is waiting and hoping that Windows 10 Phones that is on the way will drastically turn the tide around and shoot them back to full limelight.
But for now if you like Windows and you are to go for a Window phone then, there are varieties for you to pick from, now under the Microsoft Lumia name; if you have a low budget, average budget or high budget, I guarantee you will see the Window Lumia phone that will serve you well.
For low budget Lumia phones that will cost you about $100 to $120 (20K to 25K), you can go for Microsoft Lumia 520, Lumia 625 or Lumia 820, they are value for money device in that range; then if you have slightly increased budget for Windows phone, then go for Microsoft Lumia 730 or Lumia 830, these are you best bargain in this categories and will cost you about $250 to $300 (50K to 60K).
But for highest end Lumia devices you should budget about $380 to $420 (75K to 90K) for Lumia 1020 and Lumia 930; those are for your windows phones
Finally we have the Blackberry; currently, they are really not doing well too in the market and even in all the effort they are putting in their recent Blackberry 10 devices to remain relevant, their devices are still seen declining in demand, no wonder Blackberry even want to port to Android.
