uleway Big Button Mobile Phone for Elderly - Easy to Use Basic Device With SOS Emergency Button, Large Volume, Flashlight, FM Radio

Ideal for the older person who isn't savvy with technology, and decent sized keys.

This big button phone is really suitable for elders to use.The buttons are oversized and the font is particularly large, making it easy for the elderly to read and press accurately, and they are no longer afraid of pressing the wrong key. The call sound is loud and clear, and the hands-free volume is also loud enough to hear clearly even with poor ears

Bought this for my Pa as he couldn't see his other phone that well. He likes it due to the screen and big buttons. Plus can easily use. Non technical

Bought this to replace my elderly mothers ancient Nokia. Great little phone, nice and loud she can actually have telephone conversations again. Unsure about battery life etc as she’s only had it two days. She finds it easy to use and navigation, buttons etc are almost identical to the old Nokia. I would have given five stars but I did find it difficult to insert the sim, perhaps that was just me. All in all a great little easy to use phone for a great price

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.

I’m Not the elderly but I needed a phone to call out on my speaker is broken on my iPhone so this little phone was so cheap . Quality is good . Light and very easy to use . I’m only using for phone calls . Can’t wait to top it up Wednesday and try it out . Having a different number . Is handy for me . Buttons are big . Sound excellent It’s a must for anyone . Quite cute little phone with big impact .

Overall this phone suits my elderly mother quite well, however there is one serious drawback in that the red call end button is also the power off button. We bought this as a stop gap for a few weeks between a landline being provided at her new home. After she had been on a call she was holding the red button too long and the phone was switching off, which meant she was uncontactable until we could travel to the house and switch it back on again. Eventually we managed to overcome this but if this phone is being purchased as the sole method of communication I would recommend that whoever is using it can clearly understand how to check the difference between the phone being in sleep mode and power off mode. If not get one that has a separate power button.

Honestly a really great phone for my elderly Mother, who’s not good with technology. Easy to use, big numbers for her poor eye sight. Great for emergencies, she can press the sos button on back of phone and it will automatically ring and text the chosen contact, if that contact not available will go to the next one, etc. Brilliant
