5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and brilliant.I 1 Dec 2010
By Arheddis Varkenjaab TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Electronics|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this phone for my mum who is incredible impatient with tiny mobile phones with 'their stupid small numbers'. Some people, like my mum, just want a simple phone which is easy to use. All she wants is texts and phone calls, and nothing else.

This phone fits the bill perfectly. Dead easy to use, just dial the number and off you go. A clear voice repeats each number as you press the button so this is an excellent choice if you have no sight at all. There is an address book, and three programmable quick dial buttons, and you can send and receive SMS messages. Buttons are easy to press, and don't require much force.

On the back is a slightly patronising big red panic button (seriously, if you can use a phone you don't need a panic button) in the back that will, when pressed, ring the three quick-dial numbers in succession until it gets an answer.

The screen is HUGE and easy to read, and I've not managed to run the battery out playing with it but I imagine it should be impressive on such a simple phone. The charging cradle makes it easy to charge up, as you don't need to fiddle with cables, although you can charge it through a standard mini-usb port too.

It's a little bit cheap and plasticky feeling, but as it's not exactly competing with an iphone it's acceptable. It doesn't look overly 'special' either, and is quite stylish in its own way.

A good choice for anyone fed up with fiddly little all-singing all-dancing phones, or with eyesight problems, or with arthritis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandma 9 Jan 2011
By BITTERN
Format:Electronics
So pleased with this purchase. Grandma (85), at first, was horrified to be given a mobile phone. Once we had explained that the three buttons on the front dialled straight through to her main numbers and how the panic button worked she settled down. We will explain the rest of it later!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent 29 Mar 2011
Format:Electronics|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought for my 89 year old mother-in-law who has learnt to use this phone.
She has it on all the time and can summon her children with emergency txt "button" if she has a fall or needs help.
Excellent product for the elderly or anyone having problems with their sight.
Would definitely recommend

3.0 out of 5 stars Phone signal reception weak 3 Feb 2011
Format:Electronics
The phone functions OK, but I found it a bit clunky. Compared to normal mobile phones the signal reception is a bit weak ("No Service" in the display), which makes it useless in my home as it only gets a signal by the bedroom window. None of the other 5 close family member's "normal" phones have this problem even with the same network provider.
The phone looks and feels "cheap".
I bought this for my wife who is very frail and has very little dexterity in her hands, and who is defeated by devices such as the TV remote control. The phone is better in this respect.

We bought this for my 80 year old mother-in-law really due to necessity/emergencies etc. She is finding it very easy to use, and is now wondering why she resisted having a mobile for so long!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the elderly 10 Dec 2010
Format:Electronics
I purchased this telephone for my mother. She is delighted with it. The sound quality is excellent. It was also very easy to transfer the address book from her old phone. I called customer service at Binatone as the phone is not available in Ireland; they were extremely helpful and suggested trying Amazon.
