artfone Big Button Mobile Phone for Elderly, CS181 Upgraded GSM Mobile Phone With SOS Button, Talking Number and Torch

Easy to use, especially for the elderly

Excellent little flip mobile. Many thanks xx

Was shopping for a mobile for my 85-year-old Mum, as she was going into hospital: with COVID there's no visiting, she's not good with tech to start with, and due to limited circulation she can't use touchscreen. If you're old enough to remember early Nokias, when having MP3 playback - and a radio! - were luxuries, you'll be pretty happy with this (no Snake game, though.) Solid build, big chunky buttons, and handy features like single button speed dialling. Surprisingly, it also comes with dual SIM capability - full size, micro or nano, but old school full size actually work best. There is one thing that's either a bug or a feature, depending on your point of view. On the back of the phone is a large, friendly button marked SOS. Push that and it will dial your listed SOS contacts in succession, which is good. It will also make a terrifying noise that's nearly as loud as a personal attack alarm. Again, depending on the situation, this *could* be good, but you might want to disarm it for some users as it's not immediately clear and simple how to stop it. (I think there may be a setting for that). Some other issues: instructions need a slightly better translation, and don't include full technical specs. In particular, it would be *really* useful to have the exact name for the cable listed, as they're small and easily lost, and you don't necessarily pay full attention during unboxing. (I think it's a Micro-B USB, but there's lots of "micro" cables these days so it's good to know for sure.) You will also need a USB socket or a plug with one, but most people who've had smartphones lying around have spares coming out of their ears by now. Otherwise, a solid choice for either an elderly user, or if you're after a discreet spare/burner phone for travel, espionage or other activities - with a great battery life worthy of its Nokia ancestors.

I purchased one of these for my Mother in Law and it was great and she got on with it well. It lasted over two years until she spilt water on it. I purchased another but that only lasted a couple of weeks. She is 99 and not as dexterous as she was and she busted the C connector in the phone for charging. I could see the damage around the connector where she had tried to insert the charging lead. I purchased some USB C Magnetic Adapters from Amazon so she doesn't need to fiddle to get the charging lead p[lugged into the phone. I have stuck the charging lead and the "break off" part of the adapter together, plugged the other part of the adapter into the phone and shown her how the "break off" and replace the charging lead. I am hoping I don't have to set up a monthly order for this phone now! It is a great phone for the elderly.

This phone was perfect for my grandad. The big buttons made it so easy for him to use. The SOS button on the back is a great feature, which texts us if he presses it, letting us know he needs help. The battery lasted around a week for him. The lock switch is on the side, making it easier for an elderly person to unlock rather than pressing a sequence of keys. The only disappointment was that it only lasted 6 months, before it stopped turning on.

I was looking for a telephone for an elderly person who was having a lot of problems using a touch screen phone who was not interested in using the web, wanted a basic phone to ring out and take calls. Once I received this phone i set it all up for them entering all their numbers so that they could use. Very easy to set up, battery was almost charged anyway out of the box but charged it easily as i read a USB charger was not included, I went along to a local shop and acquired a USB 5v plug at which most USB plugs will work fine in charging this phone just plug the included lead into the charger and your away. If you have any old phone chargers around that have the micro USB it won't fit this phone! Use the supplied lead and just get yourself a normal USB plug. I really didn't need the instructions to set this phone up but should you need the instructions they are clear and easy to understand. Open sim so most networks will work, around 3x sim slots to choose from and in our case its Tesco mobile Non Contract. if you want a different number just go buy another sim card costing usually around £1.00 Just a case of moving sim card from Android to this phone if your contacts list is stored to your sim then all good otherwise you will have to re-enter all your contacts to the sim or this phone but its a breeze. What a brilliant phone this is, have had many people ask where did i get the phone as they want one. MAKE SURE YOU ALSO ORDER THE PHONE CASE BECAUSE IF THE PHONE WAS EVER DROPPED WITHOUT ITS CASE I DOUBT IT WOULD SURVIVE. Definitely recommend for anyone who find using a smart phone not so smart or have problems swiping the screen excellent!!!!!!!!!

I bought this phone for my 86yr old mum who is not technically savvy. I needed a large font display screen, large buttons, a loud ring and for the ear volume to be loud. I also needed simplicity. This phone ticks all the boxes. I have programmed in the most used numbers on the one key speed dial (I put a sticky label on the back of the phone with them listed to make it easier). She will never be at ease with technology but she is already more confident using this phone and pleased with the purchase. She can see the writing in the screen and the buttons are easy to press, she can hear it much easier than her old phone. The only slight negative was that the supplied charger did not work, it wasn't an issue for us as the charger from the old phone was the same and works fine.

Même clapet fermé vous êtes avertis d'avoir reçu un SMS ou un appel car un voyant vert situé à l'extérieur clignote alors. Ce même voyant clignote alternativement vert et rouge lorsque vous rechargez le téléphone et devient vert lorsque c'est terminé. Les touches M1 et M2 permettent d'appeler un numéro que vous avez enregistré. Il faut rester appuyer dessus environ 2 secondes avant que l'appel ne se déclenche. ceci doit être une sécurité afin de ne pas faire un appel involontaire. A l'extérieur se trouve également une touche de couleur orange SOS. Même chose que M1/M2, un appui prolongé surtout à l'extérieur ou, le téléphone dans une poche il est plus facile d'appuyer sur ce bouton. Sur le côté 2 touches pour augmenter ou diminuer le son son des paroles mais aussi son de la sonnerie). Sur le même côté un bouton/interrupteur à glissière permet d'allumer une petite torche. En résumé, idéal pour les personnes comme moi qui ne veulent qu'un téléphone...portable, rapide à utiliser, avec un bon micro, un bon son et qui est protégé du fait du clapet. Je le possède et l'utilise depuis des mois et j'en suis très satisfait.

Telefono veramente semplice da usare, i tasti sono grandi e ben visibili e volendo parlanti, suonerie alte anche se non c'è molta scelta, l'altoparlante è molto potente. Il tasto SOS è super utile con la possibilità di fare partire le chiamate oppure gli sms in sequenza ai numeri memorizzati in caso di urgenza (funzione comunque disattivabile), la fotocamera lascia molto a desiderare ma del resto ad un prezzo cosi ridotto non si può pretendere chissà cosa...la base di ricarica è molto stabile e comoda, sul display viene visualizzata la data, l'ora, ed il giorno corrente in maniera molto leggibile, telefono dotato anche di una piccola luce led in alto davvero comoda in caso di oscurità. Colore scelto rosso...molto brillante!Direi che per una persona anziana che ha problemi di vista e/o di udito e non ha molta dimestichezza con la tecnologia moderna è l'acquisto azzeccato soprattutto per il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Consegna puntuale.

Buscaba un teléfono para mi suegra, que el que se compró en el 2011 ha dejado de funcionar. Hay mucha oferta en Amazon de este tipo, pero varias cosas nos han gustado en este que nos ha llevado a comprarlo: - El botón de SOS. Poder configurar 5 teléfonos, que vaya marcando consecutivamente para localizar ayuda nos ha gustado mucho, pues ya es mayor y creo que puede necesitarlo de ahora en adelante muchas veces. Que no tenga que abrir el teléfono para pulsarlo ha pesado mucho. - Los botones grandes, pues le cuesta tener precisión en el pulsado, aunque esto lo tienen casi todos. - La doble tarjeta. Estamos pensando en cambiar de compañía a una de las que los telefonos fijos están en una tarjeta móvil, así poder instalarle la del fijo, que es la que tienen sus médicos y la de el móvil. - El sistema de carga también nos ha gustado mucho y a ella cuando se lo hemos enseñado. Es muy parecido a su teléfono fijo, no tiene que intentar meter el cable microUSB en un agujerito, los que tenía este sistema los hemos descartado directamente, no son para personas mayores, aunque tengan los números gordos. Cuando lo hemos recibido nos ha gustado la facilidad para navegar por los menús, son muy sencillos, muy claros, sin leer el manual, que viene en castellano, pueden configurarlo y usarlo sin problemas, es muy intuitivo.

Telefono molto semplice e intuitivo per l’utilizzo dalle persone anziane. Molto vantaggioso il prezzo in quanto la qualità è ottima. Piuttosto semplice da configurare. la qualità dell’audio in chiamata è molto buona e anche la batteria ha un ottima durata. facile anche per scrivere messaggi in quanto la tastiera è molto grande.. Viene fornita anche la basetta di ricarica assieme al cavetto, garantendo perciò sempre la carica del dispositivo..

Sehr gute haptik alles fühlt sich gut an. Toll das die zahlen die man wählt angesagt werden. Gute grosse der Schrift auf dem Display Tolles kleines radio läuft auch über den Lautsprecher. Klasse danke an die Erfinder und danke Amazon für die schnelle Lieferung.
