TT220 Big Button Mobile Phone for the Elderly with Emergency Assistance button, talking keys, long battery life, torch, Bluetooth, Simple easy to use (with Dock Charger)

Got for my dad who's 82, really easy for him to use and the keypad lock button on the side means no more accidental calls

Generally a good phone for people with limited IT skills or reduced dexterity due to the large keys and display. However, the camera is, in my opinion, an unnecessary feature as it's very low resolution and not easy to use. Whilst the menus are reasonably easy to navigate, the active selection is shown as white text on a yellow background; a poor choice as it lacks contrast, which is needed as eyesight deteriorates with age.

Bought the phone for my visually impaired brother in his ninetees. Easy to use numbers and very happy with it. The screen keeps popping up with messages. This is a facility he is unable to use but as a phone for making calls it is very suitable.

Problems with the software.

Oh dear. If you want to do anything other than press a single number to dial a speed dial number, forget it. Texting requires a level of patience beyond me. I bought this for an elderly relative who just cannot work it. Operation of the silly thing is an exercise in repetitive selection with a very unintuitive layout. It takes something like 8 or 9 key presses to send a single text! Calling is as bad. The instructions are gobbledygook in the main. I will be returning this - and I rarely ever do. Don’t waste your money.

Excellent, compact handset, no frills just a basic easy to use phone with great crisp audio quality. This phone is ideal for anyone who may need assistance, it's so compact it fits easily inside pockets or dressing gown pockets and you don't really know it's there. The phone is very sturdy which is amazing considering the low rrp, it has been dropped , accidently banged around and yet this has not affected the audio or the buttons. 1 thing i found really useful is the large easy to press buttons, making this idea for anyone with limited vision or limited dexterity. Excellent battery life, i was charging this up maybe once every 10 days and that was after making 2 or 3 quick calls , even if you just keep this phone in the car it gives you peace of mind knowing you have a back up phone. Works perfectly well on the 02 network obviously you have to purchase a sim card and keep it topped up but even with that cost factored in this handset offers great value for money.

'You get what you pay for' with this phone. Here goes: Nice big buttons but I found the button shape difficult to press cause they are dome shape. Inbox memory too small, need to store incoming calls on sim card. Torch is operated by a slide switch on the side, much better than software operation. Quite a few steps needed to send an SMS message. Very light weight phone. Small screen but adequate.

The Build: The build quality is good, strong plastics used in the making of the phone body. The back of the phone was extremely hard to take off, showing signs of good rigid structure and the fact that this is a really strong phone, ideal for the elderly The Practicality: you can put up to 2 sims inside. There is an sos function with up to 5 contacts, as well as a speed dial option where you can press and hold the number 2 key for example and it will automatically call the number associated with the number 2. Overall, highly recommended.
