Doh !

why the actually a cellphone requirement?

are we trying to contain costs, or is there no cabling etc where she is?

this is probably the cheapest landline option

but could also do a voip line through 2talk with a voip ATA eg Linksys SPA-2102 for $10 a month or so, but you would need a internet connection for that

She's going to be in a rest home. So we just want to be able to call her and her to make occasional calls out.

This is probably as near as you are going to get

Not sure if Doro is still around.

I saw this phone online which is probably as close to a home phone as you can get. It is only able to call 3 people but would be easy for someone like your Mil to use. I don't know if it is available in NZ or price, so may not be very helpful.
