This Doro phone is great value for money and so simple to set up.The price was competitive and delivery was 8 am next day .Over all a trouble free experience

Arrived a day before it was due. Simple to use smart phone.

I am 89 years old and purchased this mobile. which was listed as suitable for elderly people and good for hearing aids. I am very pleased with it. I have managed to operate it after just 2 lessons. I still have quite a lot to learn but it is operable for the basics.

My 78 year old mum has always had a basic phone that calls and texts and was anti iPhones, however, having been hospitalised she was no longer able to use the small keys and the lack of WiFi meant her phone wasn’t working in the hospital where there was no reception. I was dubious about her reaction to this phone but she loves it. She has adapted to using it quickly, the tutorial is really helpful, the full keyboard makes it easier for her to text and I am hugely impressed with it for the price. Both of us are very happy with this product.

A decent phone for the price. At least they are trying to make something simpler for the more technically challenged. My 86 year old Mother is no better with this than her standard Android phone, though, in other words she can't cope.Some of the menus are more straight forward than standard Android and some "buttons" in the GUI are named with their function. But you can't customise the phone enough. I just want Mum to have phone calls and Whatsapp only. You can't simplify it that much. You can't rename icons e.g. rename "WhatsApp" to "Video Calls". Maybe this is an Android limitation. A shame as you can rename icons on a PC.The phone has worse 4G reception than the cheap Huawei it replaced. Wireless has disconnected for no obvious reason. These are key deficiencies as the user cannot cope with any difficulty. It just needs to work.Mum needs a phone someone else can set up for her to do only what she needs and to make it as simple and foolproof as possible. This phone isn't it, unfortunately. Plus you can't get the cradle for it.

This is supposed to be a simple phone for older people to use. I bought it for my husband who only had a basic phone as I thought it would be easy for him to use.It is not simple at all, and not intuitive.My 24 year old grandson, clearly a phone expert at that age, borrowed it and said it was really odd to use.The sound is not very loud and we usually have to put it onto speaker phone.I am seriously thinking of replacing it.

I have just finished setting this phone up for a close family member over 90! I'v been very impressed with the additional software and features Doro have added to this basic Android phone. While i don't think she could have set it up herself, for the scenario where a somewhat tech savy person is going to do the initial setup, I would highlight recommend.Doro have added a customised home screen, widgets and apps which making using the phone very easy and straight forward, as well as improving the menus and setup for increasing the size of fonts or icons.The plus pack comes with everything you will need, a case, screen protector and charging stand which can hold the phone without removing the case. The phone itself is a low end spec, and can be a little slow if your used to iPhone's ect, however, for this use case its perfectly fine.

ProsEasy to setup and simple to use even for the novice mobile user.ConsNo wireless charging and it won't fit the charging cradle unless you buy the Doro case.
