Good basic mobile that's easy to use and has a good battery life

This is the fourth phone I’ve purchased for my elderly uncle. The previous three were supposed to be ‘suitable for the elderly’ but their overall designs were far too complicated for my uncle and I doubt that the people who designed them ever spoke to an elderly person for their opinion! This phone has, by a long way, the potential to be the best phone by far. HOWEVER, many of the settings - the important settings - don’t work, aren’t the least bit intuitive, and although a setting is offered, pressing the button does nothing. As I write I’m trying to change the ‘home city’ from Madrid to London, but am finding it impossible to do. Finally, the instruction ‘manual’ is ridiculous. It more resembles a piece of wallpaper (it’s dimensions are simply nuts, it’s huge) whereas a simply designed little booklet, with print of sufficient size that an elderly person can actually read the words, would have been the way to go. To close, in my opinion, phones for the elderly must be a huge market, but manufacturers - by and large - haven’t got a clue. As I say, this phone is the clear leader that I’ve found in my humble, but the settings need work… urgently. Hope all of the above helps someone.

We got this for my mother in law who is very tech averse. The large buttons made it very easy for her to use and the recharge stand is also useful as it makes the phone easy to find and house when charging. Overall a very user friendly product.

I bought this phone specifically because it was advertised to have an FM radio, and I gave it to my mum who lives abroad. However, it does not have a radio function at all. If you are in the market for a phone with a radio, do not buy this one. I am extremely disappointed with this purchase.

A very good basic phone for an older person. Really useful to have a stand to charge it. It’s a pity that there is no option to take unlock off. This has caused so many problems.

Sent back couldn't get it compatible with the sim card

Nice phone with larger numbers than most. Has a very good loudspeaker for those with harder hearing. THe red one is easier to find!! Usual features for such phones

Phone is ok but volume not great
