uleway Big Button Mobile Phone for Elderly, Easy to Use Basic Mobile Phone, SIM Free Unlocked Senior Mobile Phone With SOS Emergency Button, Large Volume, Flashlight, FM Radio (Blue)

I bought this for my elderly father as he struggles with a smart phone. He finds it easy to use as it has large buttons and the numbers on the display are large, he can easily make and answer a call.One day, he may even master a text message!

This was perfect for my elderly dad, he had struggled with a phone with smaller buttons. The green and red buttons also made it easier to use

Very easy to use

Physically the phone seems a really good option for older people, or those with Alzheimers like my mum, who has "broken" another phone.We live 100 miles away, so I just had to get a phone and a new sim card for her, then post it and see how long it takes her to lose, sorry break, break, this one.Now I accept the first mistake was my fault - I got her a Smarty sim as they're the cheapest. But they only work with 3G and above. This phone is only 2G, so I hold my hands up there, my bad.We've since tried EE, GiffGaff, O2 and T-Mobile, and it won't recognise a single card. They all work with 2G according to their customer service, and each time we give up on one card we break it down to the nano sim (because this phone takes the old giant sim card and literally no one else's phone in the world does) and it works in ours.My mum's also spending a small fortune on non-functioning sim cards and first month's calls and data (which she doesn't need as a smart phone is way beyond her grasp) in the process.Unfortunately I chucked the box and packaging out when it arrived as "what could go wrong with a £26 phone really?" Well everything as it goes.Think we'll just have to go to a physical shop and get whatever the simplest thing they have is with a functioning sim. It does make you think it's a shame there's not more options out there for older people, particularly those with dementia, but obviously they're not a big returning customer demographic so there's capitalism for you.

Good phone for my elderly mother in law , big buttons and easy to useWould recommend it

I purchased this item before at a similar price and it was ideal for my elderly mother. The previous one was well used hope this one is as reputable. Definitely value for money

The buttons are large which is an improvement on standard phones but the text is so small it is no help at all for the partially sightedSeniors cannot navigate the other functions easily

Why did you choose this product over others?:Ideal for my mum who is autistic, struggles with the basic phone. This she can make calls and answer them. Buttons are big enough. One day we may attempt text.Value for money:PerfectFunctionality:Perfect
