uleway Big Button Mobile Phone for Elderly GSM Unlocked Mobile Phone With SOS Button Speed Dail Torch FM Radio Dual SIM Basic Cell Phone Easy to Use for Seniors (Black)

As described, very easy to use, simple and ideal for the elderly.

This was purchased for my 84 year old mother-in-law and she absolutely loves it. It does everything she wants it to do, Easily recognisable and functionable keys that are easy for her to see and press. Very good length of battery charge. It has the benefit of a large SOS button on the back which is there as a reassurance. She is delighted.

Simple to use. Large script and function buttons so no more squinting. Well lit easy to read screen despite it's small size and best of all, the battery holds it's charge for a long time on standby. I only need a top up charge every six weeks. In short a very basic phone that's reliable and less expensive than similar devices. The only fly in the ointment is the selection of ring tones. Only one of them is acceptable, the rest are absolute pants that sound like an irritating childs' toy. Hence only four stars.

This is a really good phone for my elderly mother. Nice and loud ringtone and very easy for her to use. Would highly recommend.

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.

Perfect size, easy to use once setup. SOS button is a really good idea for the elderly. Press (hold it for a couple of seconds) and it auto dials a preset number. Phone takes a bit of setting up but not too hard, just takes a bit of time.

Ok, so this is a good phone, and does what it says very well, and is simple to use for its target audience BUT!You can set 5 emergency contacts for the SOS function button. However, when the first one doesn’t answer it’s supposed to send an SMS and automatically call the other emergency contacts in the list…..BUT, when the first contact phone goes to answerphone, ( as most mobiles do!) this handset thinks the call has been answered, and doesn’t do anything else except hang on an open voicemail line! It doesn’t send a text, nor call the other emergency contacts! Bit of a shame, as that’s why we bought this handset. Can’t find any way round it! So, overall, useful only to call one emergency contact. One added feature is it does sound an audible alarm siren when the SOS button is pushed.

Easy to use, accessible phone. I would highly recommend.
