SMPL Hands-Free Dial Corded Phone with Photo Memory, One-Touch Dialing, Large Buttons, Flashing Alerts - For Seniors, Hearing Impaired

We got this for a family member who has trouble seeing and can no longer use her cellphone without assistance. But rather than get a landline installed, or VOIP provider over internet, we got an "XLink BT HD" adapter here on Amazon, that connects this phone to her mobile phone via Bluetooth and it all works great! We programmed the speed dial buttons, quick and easy. Now she can make calls and get calls without our assistance. The sound quality is better than her mobile phone, and she can either use the handset or the speakerphone. The build quality of the phone seems totally fine. Definitely recommend this phone.

I purchased this phone for my mom, who has dementia, because she kept misplacing her cordless phones. I needed something that would stay in one place and be simple for her to use, and this has been perfect. The large buttons and photo memory dialing make it easy for her to call family without needing to remember numbers. Programming was straightforward, and the picture slots are a fine size. Most importantly, she’s able to use it without confusion. If you need a reliable, user-friendly phone for a senior or someone with memory issues, I highly recommend this one!

Very good product. Serves its purpose well. Sturdy and convenient

We have been quite happy with this landline phone to replace a smart phone that was just beyond the ability of our family member in hospice care. As it turns out, the photo storage and internet access weren't really high on the list for someone who just wants to talk to family and friends daily or even multiple times daily. Super easy for the caregiver to program, and easy to use for the person who has lost a lot of hand dexterity. For folks of a certain age, using a desk phone like this comes quite naturally, as this is how they used phones for decades before our smartphone era. I just turned those photos on the buttons over, and printed in big, bold lettering the first initial of their six most often called people; then programed the button to call when pressed. Of course, all the usual functions of a landline phone are available -- dialing direct, taking incoming calls, volume adjustment, etc. In all, very pleased with this phone.

Edited 1/1/25: Trying to get tech support to help us retrieve stored messages. The instructions say to press *98, but that only results in an error message. Have tried calling tech support several days now. They only have an answering machine and say they will call back. Tough luck if you miss their call. I have called them back several times with detailed question, asking them to please leave me a voice mail or write an email, but nothing. No website or other assistance. DO NOT recommend. Earlier review: Instead of using color photos, I printed black and white icons for front desk, nursing services, their grown kids - easier to see than color photos on printer paper. This cord is long enough to stretch from the table to the LazyBoy. Good sound quality. This phone works reliably. One of the buttons stopped working for a couple of days until I could get there and reprogram it. Not sure if Mom or Dad had pressed it too hard or what... but it was simple to reprogram and it works perfectly. The steps to program each button are a little counter-intuitive -- the dial tone keeps sounding as you're entering the numbers, so it might sound as if you're doing something wrong. But follow the directions and it works. We will probably order a second one.

I'm not sure what the company was thinking when they created a wallet-sized set up / instruction manual that is so small I can't see it or could my kids... This phone is ideal for seniors or those with vision issues. The audio is good and the simplicity of the layout is above average on the phone. Yet it's a challenge to set-up because there's almost no instructions that can be read. You'll need to take the tiny booklet to your home printer and enlarge it. Or get a magnifying glass to see it. You can pre-program the special buttons and place photo inserts where there are slots for such. That is a plus except my mom feels she has to hit the blank buttons as well. Happens at 94 years of age and that's fine. It's plastic and of course Made In China. It says it has a 6 ft drop factor so we'll see. Still a good choice.

If you are looking for a landline phone for a 'senior', this is a great phone. The photo buttons make it easy for my 101 year old mother-in-law to make a phone call, and the speakerphone works well so she doesn't have to keep the handset up to her ear. Nice volume control so she can adjust the sound level up to hear. The cord between the base and the handset isn't very long and she needs to sit right next to the phone to use the handset should she wish to, so we bought a longer cord. Now she can sit back comfortably in her recliner and use the speaker feature. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought the phone to used by my 97yr old Grandmother. She loves the sound quality as it has a volume adjustment. The photo buttons for being able to direct dial the person associated with the button is the best part. The phone also came with hands free option and the reception was clear.
