Not everybody understands english messages and notice of use. when will they realise that....

They make this one phone specially for Seniors called the ez ONE and it has large buttons and text, a high-contrast easy to read screen and even has a big orange panic button on the back (it says S.O.S. on it) for emergencies. You can program it to call up to 4 numbers so if the person gets into an emergency situation, they press it and they can get help. If any of the phone numbers programmed in as emergency numbers are cell phones, then it also sends them a text telling them to please answer the call because it is an emergency. We thought that was pretty cool. It has a little flashlight on it as well as an FM radio with earphones. It's VERY simple - it doesn't have fancy video or a camera or anything - it only does phone calls and texting...but that's all we wanted for Dad. He could never learn how to do the other stuff anyway (he is 82.) He likes it because it's small and fits in his pocket, and it has a "lock" switch on it so he can lock the keypad when it is in his pocket. His old cell phone didn't have a lock function that we could ever figure out for him, and he was CONSTANTLY calling people from his pants pocket. LOL! Anyway, the ringer is nice and loud, it's easy to use and he can see it really well. It took his AT&T SIM card, so that was awesome. If you are interested, you can check out their website. It's at www.snapfon.com and you can order it online there. We got free shipping too! It was reasonably priced (we thought) at $99. We looked at that Jitterbug phone and it was just too expensive, and their rate plans were awfully pricey. :-( I just got an AWESOME phone for my Dad from a company in Chattanooga, TN called “Snapfon.” They make this one phone specially for Seniors called the ez ONE and it has large buttons and text, a high-contrast easy to read screen and even has a big orange panic button on the back (it says S.O.S. on it) for emergencies.

You can find the phone at www.just5.com. The features are really senior-friendly, especially the SOS button that would come in handy during emergencies. My father loves the just5 phone.

The problem is mobile phone manufacturers dont make phones with that big font sizes and certainly not with senior citizens in mind. i heard somebody saying nokia 6280 has a facility to increase font size. Try nokia 3110 which has somewhat decent font size if you want a cheaper option! Good luck! Hi Paul!

Would it hurt to add font point size information in the specs of all phones. At least then you could reproduce this in a word processor and be able to find one that will suit. Any suggestions of models would be gratefully appreciated. Paul Hello
