ICE (In Case of Emergency)Add an ICE contact to improve your own safety. First responders can access stored medical information from the users’s phone easily using the ICE function. All fields are optional, but you would be able to provide next of kin details, medical condition, allergies, blood type, vaccinations, medications and other very important information which might be crucial to know in the event of an accident or trauma. | HAC (Hearing Aid Compatible)This mobile phone for seniors is Hearing Aid Compatible so you will get loud and clear sound even if you are wearing your hearing device.
| Call Blocking & WhitelistThe call blocking feature allows you to prevent specific numbers from calling or texting you. This option is very useful especially if you often receive spam calls or messages. You can even decide to create a whitelist. It works much like a spam filter, once activated, you can only receive incoming calls from contacts saved in the phonebook. |

| GPS POSITIONINGThis function sends a text message with the user’s position to the contacts in the number list when the assistance button is activated. The message contains the date, time, and the positioning information of the Doro user. The message is not editable. If the GPS position cannot be located the message contains the users last known position. | EASY CHARGINGThis mobile phone for the elderly comes with a UK mains plug and a docking station to charge the device. Thanks to the desktop charging cradle you will always know where your Doro 6060 is and that it has charge. The cradle is perfect for anyone with limited hand mobility or those who are partially sighted, as you won’t need to insert the micro USB connector into the port on the side of your mobile phone to charge it anymore. | MORE SPECS

I believe that the 3G phones are to discontinued within the next year or so to make their frequencies available for 4 and 5 G.
On the other hand, 2G phones are likely to remain around for 15 year or more since nearly all smart meters use 2G frequncies to transmit their data, so it is cheaper to keep 2 G running than to replace all of our smart meters.
Phone seems to be made well. Did expect it to be louder.Review is asking to rate touch screen, but it is not a touch screen phone !!
Got for my mum for her 90th and she loves i
My Grandad could hear on the other one of these but cannot on this one!!
Bought for my wife as she doesn’t like smart phones
Purchased this for a relative and they prefer this phone to a full on complicated android phone.
As they are visually impaired, the flashing light, uncomplicated charging dock and large buttons aids in the seamless use of this device.
Highly recommend this device
My Wife likes this phone, easy to use for her as she has arthritis in her hands, and when she receives calls all she needs to do is open it and speak no pressing buttons. Perfect phone for her.
My husband is not great with technology. This little phone is great. If your looking for a phone just to text and ring, this is it. Smart and reliable
Great little phone for my mother,nice and easy to use
All good, just what I wanted and delivered on time.
So where to begin ….
Its my mum and dads (80) favourite Mobile. having had Doro mobiles now for around 10 years this was a no brainer upgrade from the same clam shell devices that’s been used before. They had the keys wearing out, scratches and the batteries were not lasting on their current devices so it was time to upgrade!
This new upgrade red Doro came with a charging dock, and external screen which saves mum trying to open it to see who it is calling and for around 60-70 its a bargain. Its only 2G but with 3G being phased out in 2022 I am not bothered. (Little worried about 2025+ possible 2G possible phase out also)
Ok so its basic but lets face it you are not buying this for social media or imessage! My mums texts are often reply’s of ‘OK’ or ‘XXX’. Also they don’t use any data at all.
So what’s the only issues with it? Well these are the same as before. Its just needs software on a PC that you can connect it via the USB and transfer the Telephone numbers across and all the messages rather than the normal SIM transfer than can only be done on the keypad and takes ages. Also updating the Wallpaper, adding any ‘ABBA’ ringtones rather than the poor selection. Surely in 2021 we can have a Doro link software to make all the sons and daughters task of swapping a parents Doro mobile over to the new model easier?!
Other than that its Great!
Just buy it, Doro phones are very dependable and have every single feature you can want. My last one didn’t have ANY problems for almost 7 years.
Perfect mobile for my technophobe husband. Haven’t had it long enough to judge battery life.
