A must have for dementia sufferer
I bought this for my Mum who is living in a nursing home. The first problem we found was that the picture buttons are very easily removed which is not great for someone with dementia. We tried to glue them in place so time will tell if this works.The phone worked in my home but when tried in the nursing home it was completely dead. After a lot of messing around it turns out it needs to be plugged into a socket with an ADSL filter. The filter included in the box is not suitable for use with UK sockets so if your socket doesn't have a filter you need to buy one. Storing the numbers was easy and the phone remembers them even when it's been unplugged. Now it's all set up Mum can phone the family and is loving how easy it is to use. The low score has been given to reflect the hassle of setting the phone up. Surely given the amount of negative reviews it would pay to tweak the design and avoid so many returns.***updated review***I've updated my review to reflect how helpful this phone has been to my Mum. Her dementia has worsened over the past year and covid has meant she has not been able to see family regularly at her nursing home. During this time Mum has relied heavily on phone contact. She is unable to use phones with names of contacts written on and can't follow numbers to dial but can consistently call by pressing the photos on this phone. She is able to phone whenever she is sad or lonely or just to hear a familiar voice. We probably talk about 4 times a day. I'm not exaggerating when I say this phone has kept my Mum going. It has also helped me to make sure she's safe and well when I can't physically be there. I've increased my rating to reflect this.

Great fro partially sighted and dementia
I don’t understand some of the reviews that say it’s difficult to install, it was so easy. Their is a cable that fits our uk sockets but just use the one your taking out of the previous phone!!! It’s been brilliant for my mum that has very limited sight and onset dementia, although the only draw back I would say is the volume could be better

Great for the elderly.
Perfect for my elderly mum. Apart from the ringtone that she’s not so keen on, everything else is fine especially the memory buttons which are so much easier for her to use rather than trying to dial long numbers which she normally gets wrong. I did find it a little bit tricky to set up due to the actual fitting but luckily had what was needed from a different purchase and it took a while to get the memory buttons to actually save the numbers but since then it’s all worked perfectly.

simple and easy to use
I purchased this phone for my mother as she needed a simple phone with large clear numbers and the ability to have pre-programmed buttons so phoning people is as simple as pressing a button. setting the buttons up was a little fiddly but easy. The handsfree mode is good and the speaker is good. overall a nice simple phone for a good price.

Ring too quiet and volume in call. Don't waste your money
Had a real problem getting this to work on my mum's home phone, couldn't in the end.The ring volume is almost inaudible and loudness when in call.We couldn't get the phone to connect to the socket.Design needs major improvement and to be simpler. Too complex for people with mideraye dementia and that is who it is aimef at Too many buttons.I think Ive left it too long to send back, just stuck in a box

Great product except wrong cable for connecting to conventional UK socket box.
Great product for elderly relative but requires an adaptor to be fitted to a normal BT openreach box - which has been really tricky to find and not straightforward at all for us or for the telephone engineers.

Great phone but keep the cable from your old phone.
Bought this for my mum who recently forgot how to find my number in her regular phone. This was very easy to set up, both adding the pictures and programming the numbers. She really likes it, it doesn't confuse her.Mine didn't have a UK adapter in the box (the bit that plugs into the BT socket) just a French one, but I simply used the cable from an old phone.I'd give it 5 stars for the phone itself for an elderly person, but I've taken one off because they didn't include a UK plug.

Facilité d'utilisation
J'avais déjà acheté ce téléphone pour ma mère âgée. Mais le temps était venu de le changer et seul ce modèle lui convient. La sonnerie est assez forte pour les personnes souffrant de problèmes d'audition. Les chiffres sont gros pour une meilleure utilisation pour des personnes âgées et il y a 6 rappels automatiques avec les photos ce qui lui permet d'appeler facilement les personnes dont le numéro est mémorisé. Je recommande ce produit.

Perfekt für jemand mit Demenz
Ich habe das Telefon für eine Person mit Demenz ausgewählt, damit einfach die wichtigen Telefonnummern auf den Bild-Tasten abgelegt werden können. Kein Display, das mehr verwirrt als es hilft. Die Tasten groß genug, wenn eine Nummer aus einem (manuellen) Telefonbuch eingegeben werden soll - das geht alles nicht mehr so leicht oder muss mehrfach erklärt werden. Daher ist das Telefon super geeignet, ohne schnick-schnack. Sehr zu empfehlen für diese Gruppe Menschen
