This phone is perfect for someone who is not interested in accessing the internet. This phone has a high gloss black clamshell and slim enough to easily fit in a pocket.
It has large keys with big numbers so ideal for the elderly. It comes with user manuals, one of them being in English. Unlike a lot of user instructions this one is very easy to understand and although the phone I feel is very intuitive (I am in my middle sixties) there are some things in the book I had to refer to as slightly different from my old Doro phone so I would advise anyone to read the manual first if they want to customise the phone.
The phone charged up quickly – there is a battery indicator on the front screen and when it gets low a light comes on at the front of the clamshell itself. Obviously, it depends on how much usage but the phone charge lasted me for about 5 days. If you don’t hear or see a message come in, you can’t miss it because a very bright light keeps flashing on the front of the clamshell. If you miss a phone call an alert comes on the main screen when you open the phone
The phone was un-locked which meant I could connect to my local network. I just slipped in my pay as you go sim card and I was able to use the phone straightaway
It is very advisable to read the simple manual if you want to customise the settings. I loved the radio but needed to look up how to switch it off and increase the volume. You can also have a human voice speak the numbers you dial but obviously this can be turned off
The phone has a camera and video recorder. The camera setting worked well, however, when I went to test the video recorder it said I didn’t have enough memory!
Easy to send and access messages, add new contacts etc. There is also an SOS button, a great feature especially for the elderly. The ring tone for incoming calls can be chosen, a choice of nine, I found ringtone 3 was the loudest so good for someone whose hearing maybe slightly impaired.
The phone has Bluetooth and easily found another Bluetooth phone in the house.
There are many functions and some people won’t use any of them but for me who prefers to use a computer, it is perfect as it has everything I need at a great price. Highly recommended, I love it especially the radio and the built- in calculator is a handy feature.
