Elderly Friendly Mobile Phones

By Martin Elmer


Christmas is almost round the corner, what have you thought of buying your grandparents this year? Check out the easy to use senior mobile phones. They are meant for elderly people and satisfy all their requirements.

In case, you are thinking your grandparents will find such phones complicated and will not take any interest in them like other phones, then you are wrong. Such phones are especially designed for old people and fulfill all their requirements. These handsets are so easy to use that even a 4-5 year old can use them. They involve no complicated software or applications but just basic features.

After all, this would enable them to call for help quickly in case of an emergency. The worst possible accidents can happen if elderly people living alone cannot reach out for help on time. Specially designed mobiles can help a lot in this situation.

Handsets designed for the seniors are not packed with various features; instead they serve very basic functions like receiving and making calls, texts and storing numbers. Certain phones have some additional features like alarm clock, flashlight, reminder option, etc.

These handsets have bulky keypads in order to facilitate dialing. Old people are usually faced with eyesight issues, for which phones with big keys and backlight help them to dial numbers correctly and conveniently. This is the same reason why such phones should also have larger display, so that they can read texts and numbers without much difficulty.

Then there are some features like the emergency calling, having which is definitely a bonus. This function enables the user to call a particular number instantly with just one push of a button.

Despite all the pluses of these phones, they find very few takers. Awareness about these specially designed products is quite low, because most ads promote regular phones and not these.

So, now that you know about elderly friendly phones; go ahead and get one for your grandparents and enjoy the smile that you see on their faces.
