Mobile for my Dad

My Dad is 90 years old and even though he is very much with it he does have problems using mobiles as he has trouble with his fingers. I have bought him this mobile phone, it's quite expensive but will be brilliant for him although you can only ring four people.

I'll let you know how we get on with it when it comes.

Re: Mobile for my Dad

That's a good idea Alicat!

There are some phones that let you dial by 'voice' too - so you hold down one button and then say who you want to call

Re: Mobile for my Dad

Azz, I had an old mobile once and you could use voice activation on that but you had to talk in the same tone for it to work. You had to say it in exactly the same way and that wasn't always easy, because of that it didn't work very well.

I'm still waiting for this new mobile to be delivered.

Is the Samsung Jitterbug phone now available in the UK? Wasn't the last time I checked, but excellent for older users: voice dial, large key pad , dial tone. no exteaneous apps to bother with.

Re: Mobile for my Dad

That looks a great phone for an elderly person, Alicat ...... very clear and easy to use.

I hope your Dad finds it suits him.
