It is probably known to you that senior mobile phones are the most basic handsets that are there in the market today. Yet, choosing a good phone for old people can be quite a task. Let's see what we mean when we say 'a good senior mobile phone'. Well, it simply means a very easy to use handset with all basic features, organized in an uncomplicated way.
These phones are a must have for old people; first because they can keep in touch with their loved ones without even meeting them and second, at the time of any emergency they can call for help easily.
Let's take a quick look at the highlighting features of such phones. These phones should be reasonably priced. Firstly because they only have very basic features and secondly, senior people are usually retired and do not have any regular income.
Next, such phones should also have easy to use keypad with larger keys. Generally old people do not have very good eye-sight and nimble fingers; therefore such keypads help them dial numbers and type messages comfortably.
A good mobile phone for elderly people should also have a bright and large display. The reason, as you may have already guessed, is that old people have vision problems more often than not. A large display allows them to see the number they are dialing and read text messages, among other benefits.
Then there is the need for the phone to be equipped with a good quality speaker. A mobile phone for seniors will necessarily have speakers more powerful than those in regular phones. This is done to facilitate seniors who have difficulty in hearing, because this is a common phenomenon at an advanced age.
Some phones also have emergency dialing system. Not all would have this feature but having it is a bonus. What you need to do is set a particular number to the emergency key. Now if there is an emergency situation, all you have to do is press the emergency button and the phone automatically dials the assigned number.
So, now have you got a clear idea of what a mobile phone for elderly people must have?
