Great basic phone - not just for oldies!, 17 Feb 2011
This review is from: TTfone TT180 - Senior Mobile Phone - Big Button - Large Display - FM radio - QUAD BAND - Torch function - SOS button - New Design
I got this for my wife, simply because the letters on the buttons of her other phone were so small, she was having trouble seeing them. This phone is much nicer to look at than the competition, has nice big clear numbers & letters, & is simple & straightforward to set up & use. My only criticism is that they could have made the numbers a little smaller, & the letters a bit bigger - there's plenty of space for that on the buttons?
To answer some of the criticisms in other reviews:
1. If you want a larger user manual, buy from TTSims - they include one free. Still not exactly big, but at least I could read it without glasses!
2. I think the green 'call' button is intentionally designed to need 2 actions to make a call - it is designed for the elderly after all, & it gives a chance to cancel if the wrong button has been pressed, & avoids unintentional calls? Anyway, once you're used to it, it's no big deal.
3. One reviewer found it complicated to set up, but I'm afraid any modern electronic equipment like this needs some degree of personalisation, & I found this phone extremely simple to set up - hardly had to read the manual at all, which is the test of a well-designed product.
Overall, a well-designed attractive product at a good price, if all you want is an easy to use basic phone, with no fripperies (OK, the FM radio is rubbish, but who needs that anyway?!)

Senior Mobile Phone S180, 19 Jan 2011

I bought this phone for my husband who criticises everything. However, he thinks this product is wonderful. The changeover from his old phone was easy, he can see the buttons more clearly, hear the ringtone more easily and it's straightforward to use. The phone is just as described and is a basic, no-nonsense mobile without fancy extras such as camera etc. Would definitely recommend - and it's stopped him moaning about his old one!

Good phone, few small problems, 14 Jan 2011

I bought this phone for my father who has poor eyesight but works on a farm and does not wear his glasses...I know he should but he doesnt! The phone is perfect for him to be able to use as he can see the big buttons. The red alarm button on the back is an excellent idea and works brilliantly. The only draw back is that it when you hit the green call button it gives you two options (1: last call persons details, 2: dial person) It would be better if it just dialed the last person you called. Also it is a little tricky to set up so i would give a person who is not technically savvy a hand to do this.Otherwise it is a great phone for those with poor eyesight of difficulty with small buttons. Also this phone has its own normal charger. Some of others makes of big button phones can only charge of a USB connection so take care when shopping around.
