Bought this phone having read too many reviews of all simple phones for the elderly. I needed this for my 87 year old father and it did exactly what I wanted it to. The numbers are big and easy to press and the voice repeats aloud the number you press. The charging dock is incredibly helpful, no fiddly cables to plug in. The ring tone is loud.
I really do not understand any negative comments. You get a good product for the price you pay.
Signal and coverage so far have been great. My father lives in the middle of the countryside where signal quality is terrible, my SMART phone always loses coverage but I have been able to phone him with absolutely no trouble or signal drop out whatsoever.
A great phone for anyone who needs help with mobile technology and just wants a basic, big button, easy to use, loud phone.
My dad is 88 and not very good with technology. His old big button phone had issues with the charger so I did a bit of research and found this phone. It arrived pretty quickly and was easy to set up. We have only had one issue, which wasn’t anything to do with the phone, when he changed a setting accidentally. This made me think that it would be great if the manufactured allowed you to lock some settings so elderly people have as little to work out as possible and don’t cause themselves problems. In our case my dad put the phone in “meeting mode” which meant he couldn’t hear us calling him.
This was a brilliant phone for my father who was able to use the phone easily and access the buttons easily.
Just a three things
– I had to stick a label on the charging cradle to remind him to make sure the phone was facing the label – then he got the charging points aligned – if you put it in backwards it won’t charge.
– I had to turn off the torch because Dad gripping the phone kept turning the torch on at the side button and then he didn’t know how to turn it off
I had to buy a longer cable for the charger so the charging cradle could be near enough to him
My 72 year old mother (who believes she is still 27) wanted a phone that was easy to use, big numbers, not too many confusing features and good to operate. This phone gives all of this, however, I didn’t see it coming when she refused the phone because it was for “Seniors” and she said she would be embarrassed to use it in public because of its size and visual aspects! The lesson here then is, if you have a vain senior in your family, who value looks over function, as my mum does, do not buy it for them. However, if ease of use is more important, then this phone is ideal….
I bought this phone for my elderly mother, who simply couldn’t operate other smaller types of phones due to her arthritic fingers. This one in that regard is perfect. Large buttons that are very responsive and even has the option to have an audible confirmation of the number you have pressed.
I’ve knocked a star off, purely for the fact that there’s no way she would have been able to program any numbers into the phones contact list herself as the instructions aren’t that clear – but with some practice and perseverance I managed to sort that out for her and set up the speed dials for common contacts. The phone came with a nice cradle to stand the phone in for charging and the USB cable – however it didn’t come with any plug to plug it into the wall – again, I was fortunate to be able to have a spare one that I gave her, but if she’d have had to have dealt with it on her own, she’d never have known how to charge it up!
The SOS button on the back is configurable to either do nothing, send a text and call an emergency number. This is a blessing as you know that you are only a simple button press away and this does work well. If it’s pressed by mistake, you do get a few seconds to cancel the alert before the text or phone call is made!
Audio quality is fine and the speakerphone is useful too. Overall a good basic, no frills telephone, ideal for someone who needs something a little bigger in their elderly years and just wants a device for emergencies.
