Helped my aunt setting up her "elderly cell phone" on Saturday - should have taken a pic of it ....

LARGE print screen.

Only 15 buttons - filling 80% of the area of the phone, again LARGE print.

MAN those bleeps when you push the dials are LOUD !

Not a "known brand" phone, she got it from Vodacom.

So finally there are phones that are not aimed at yuppies only .... Hopefully many moons before we need it though .....


Oom Eric wonder hoeveel van die mense op die forum onthou nog "Nommer asseblief" ? Nie die tv reeks nie, om werklik die slinger te draai en met die operateur te praat en te vra om deurgeskakel te word. In 1977 in Bettiesbaai was ons "twee langes en n korte" .... :)

Dunno about the 'senior' phone, but I definitely need one with a louder ring tone! :roll: :roll:
