Easy to program with 4 most called people. Easy to use for my mother. Has different ringtones , can set SOS numbers to alert those for emergencies, no unneeded apps or features

I really hoped this would work for our mom with severe dementia. Unfortunately it has a cradle charger that is unstable and ill-fitting. None of us can get it to stay in the cradle. Even when the phone is on and charged, it often goes straight to voicemail (that does not exist). She does not find the buttons helpful or intuitive. It seemed like a really good concept (minus the charging dock). No thank you.

The idea of this is good. But there are quite a few small things that make it difficult. We first had issues with it picking up reception. Kept falling to 2G or 3G network which those networks aren't around if you use providers like TMobile. The phone itself is much smaller in your hand and can slip out of your hand easily. Especially older people with arthritic hands, etc. They should have gripper edges. The 4 buttons are easy enough but you push one and it doesn't always call. Sometimes it will ask you to call phone number A if thats what you pushed. It should just automatically call it. Just an added step not needed. The menu screen is super difficult. There is no way an elderly person can get to that. And thats where you have to activate the flashlight. So its pretty useless. This whole item needs to be rethought with actual older people trying it out and a better way to make sure it rings. You also cant adjust the level of the ringer. Only the voice level...but only the voice while they are talking. You push the up or down while not on a call it screws the phone menu items up. I would recommend looking elsewhere. This phone is too glitchy.

After learning my mistakes, it works great!
