Doro 2404 2G Dual SIM Unlocked Basic Mobile Phone for Seniors with Large Colour Display, Big Buttons and Emergency Button (Black) [UK and Irish Version]

I bought this phone for my father, as his previous one had been dropped. He was 94 at the time, and whilst he thoroughly enjoyed speaking to family on it, he would not have been able to manage anything more complex. This phone provided him with the ability to make and receive calls and texts although he rarely used that facility. We were able to set up an emergency alert within the family circle if he had pressed the emergency button and it also enable us contact him if we visited and he had gone out for a drive. It is a flip design and requires the pressing of buttons as opposed to touching any screens. It has a sound button on the side which probably is the only feature which perhaps could have been thought out more. Due to it's compact size, inevitably ones fingers would inadvertently lower the sound and it was a little difficult then trying to explain over the phone how to increase the volume. Other than that, Dad was happy with it and it put the family's mind at ease him having it. The screen is small but it is clear enough to see who is ringing and for Dad, he was happy with that.

Purchased for my wife, who wanted a basic phone.Looks good and easy to use.Has a camera.Not a smart phone, but it does the job.

This phone works well is very easy to use and is just what I need. I have restricted vision so only use a mobile phone to make and receive calls. This phone is easy to read and operate

Replacement phone for my husband who just needs a basic phone for sending and receiving calls and texts fits the bill perfectly, had one the same before but when it stopped working relaced with same model.Easy to use, stays charged reasonably well and easy to use.

Perfect for the elderly

Why did you choose this product over others?:For my husband who has dementia so easy for him to use this is his 3rd Doro phone

I purchased this phone for my Mother who is 91 years old. Smart Phones are totally beyond her, so I was looking for a basic phone that a) she could be proud of and b) was a doddle to use. This phone looked as if it would meet this criteria and when it arrived I was personally delighted with what I saw. A quick trip to Tesco to get a very cheap Sim Card (£7.50 per month), plus the Tesco Mobile Sales Rep very kindly set up the phone for me with an emergency number (this is a small button on the back of the phone, so if my Mother falls, she can press this button and I instantly get a text stating she needs help, plus a call where she does not even have to open the phone up). We have put this in to practice over the past few weeks and it has been a resounding success. My Mother is very happy to use this phone, the ring is loud enough for her to hear, she can call me with absolute ease and the flip-up style she loves - so highly successful and certainly recommended.

The phone itself OK but could not charge it there was a charging cable but no plug charge battery at to go out and get one before start charging the phone This should be pointed out to people baying phone Derek Phillip
