Senior Basic Cell Phone

Ideal for the older person who isn't savvy with technology, and decent sized keys.

This big button phone is really suitable for elders to use.The buttons are oversized and the font is particularly large, making it easy for the elderly to read and press accurately, and they are no longer afraid of pressing the wrong key. The call sound is loud and clear, and the hands-free volume is also loud enough to hear clearly even with poor ears

Very good phone

As described - I got this for my 82 year old mum who has arthritis in both hands and needed a new basic phone. This meets her requirements, easy to use and the large buttons are ideal. The SOS button on the back is what sold this to me as it gives me peace of mind should she need to use it. Would highly recommend if you have an elderly person needing a new phone.

Doesn’t even work , won’t switch on! Waste of money , I bought this for my elderly mother as she’s had hip replacement surgery and just lost her husband of 63 years! Very disappointing. I thought it would help her when she came out of hospital for upstairs so she could contact me in an emergency.

Bought this for my Pa as he couldn't see his other phone that well. He likes it due to the screen and big buttons. Plus can easily use. Non technical

We bought this for a frail 98 year-old friend with serious visual impairment but no loss of cognitive ability. The strength of this phone is that the numbers on the keypad are large and clear. We went for the white on black keyboard as the clearest and she can read them. Beyond that, however, the phone is still too complicated, with two many unneceesary features, and consequent navigation problems for someone who just wants to make and receive calls, and send texts. I have inputted key numbers for her, but to access those numbers she will have to scroll down the names in alphabetical order; I haven't been able to find a 'search' for a name in the contacts list so it's luck she only has about 12 numbers. Although the keypad is good, the display on the screen is quite small. The instruction manual is very poor and badly written. For the price, we are happy enough that it can do the job when we have guided our friend on how to use it, but it isn't as straightforward as one might have hoped.

I bought it to use as a "home phone" to reach the kids at home when I am away. I don't want them to have smartphones, and I don't want a landline contract that cost a lot. I bought this and get a year plan with 1penny, save me a great deal.
