TTfone Jupiter 2 TT850 Big Button Simple Mobile Phone for Senior SOS Emergency Button

I got this only today having bought a Denver GSP-110 last week. This one has a good handbook, I found it so much easier to set up. It also came with an earphone.It also has a lock key, a volume control, torch key and Fm radio key built into the sides of the Phone.(Pity they are not colour coded) I got them for a nearly blind lady. She was soon able to make calls with the Denver, but wanted me to put some music files on a memory card to play when on the bus.I spent hours trying to find how to do it., but did not succeed. The Jupiter 2 was not much easier. II does not say which format files it will play. I assumed MP3, but it turned out to be wav I found that the sound recordings you can make whilst telephoning are of the form REC000000X.wav where X is a digit.I got some musical wav files, and renamed them in this format and was able to play them. I think this phone is excellent value. I know my nearly blind friend will not be able to do everything with it, but she will be able to make calls, and have some music. I think it is supposed to be able to play some form of audio book, that would be an asset.. I see that TTfone hav ea number you can call for help. Tomorrow is another day

I bought this phone for my aged mother. The Big Buttons are great and the display is clear and bright, but, my mother is still confused by it. So, maybe some features e.g. the ringer sound, should only be selectable by menu. this would avoid the volume keys being pressed accidentally. Also the on/off button should be on the top of the handset rather than on the back/hangup button. My mother keeps on inadvertently switching the phone off when she hangs up. The points I mentioned would not be an issue for most people, but for older people they might be.

Purchased for my dad who was struggling with standard mobile phone. This has large buttons with large letters so much better. Highly recommend for older person who struggles with standard mobile or anyone who isn't techno Savvy. Really easy to program, great cradle so can easily put on charge and fantastic added feature whereby you can programme several telephone numbers all linked to one emergency button so if owner of phone needs someone in an emergency by pressing the button all the numbers programmed to the emergency no are called. What a fantastic idea now I know should my dad be in an emergency situation he can press the button and all family members will be activated and this is great because if one person can't answer you have safety feature of knowing someone else will answer. Much better than having to ring a number in an emergency not get an answer then having to ring someone else etc. Great item for elderly and or vulnerable person

This phone is basic and should be easy to use but it isn’t. My dad constantly pressed the emergency button by accident, giving us a cause to panic when there wasn’t one. Unfortunately, it has now stopped working unless it is in the charger. We purchased it in August so the return window has closed, I have messaged the company but have had no reply.

bought this for my son who has recently lost some vision.. It is reasonably easy to use but in common with all phones for the disabled/ elderly, it is too complicated. what would be nice is a cheap phone which simply does calls and texts - one button for I want to make a call and one for I want to send/receive a text. forget about all the fancy stuff. However that is common to all the phones I have come across. I would have given 4 stars but the cradle for charging is unreliable which is a pity as it would have made it less fiddly than plugging in the mini usb lead directly. I would have asked for a replacement but my son has got used to it now.

Bought for the inlaws, due to the ever increasing landline bills. They don't use the internet, so the need for a landline was minimal. They did however need a phone (both are in their 80's) for us to stay in touch and them to be able to contact us if needed. This fit the bill perfectly and they have been using it for the last few months with no issues at all. The charging stand means they don't have to worry about trying to connect charger cables, battery life is good, and the emergency button on the back works well even if the only time (thankfully) it has been used is by accident.

Good value for money, basic phone. For those used to a modern interface, this takes some navigation. There is one curious feature. We had put the phone in its cradle next to a digital music player and when the phone rings, the music switches itself on. It doesn’t switch itself off when you end the call…

Purchased this for my elderly Mum and unfortunately the charging cradle was faulty. Rather than send the whole thing back to Amazon, I contacted TTfone directly and explained it to them. After locating my order with Amazon the lady assured me that she would send a replacement directly to me. 2 weeks later and I'm still waiting..! I have now reordered it from Amazon and will send the faulty one back to them (I should have done that in the first place). The after sales customer service from TTfone is absolutely rubbish. Saying all that, the phone itself is lightweight, easy to use and ideal for what my Mum needed it for.
