5 Comments to Snapfon “ez ONE” Cellular Telephone for Seniors or Low Vision Users
If you are a senior citizen, or have a senior in your life, this is one fantastic gift for them. The phone is large enough to easily hold, and the big, well lit buttons, are easy to read and push. You won’t have any problems pressing the wrong keys accidentally. The added feature of “talking keys” makes it invaluable to the visually challenged. The special red button feature that allows you to pre-program emergency numbers also helps provide peace of mind. It’s a breeze to set up with AT&T, just a matter of transferring the SIM card from the old cell phone. There are detailed instructions on how to do this provided with the phone. I purchased this for my 87 year old mother, who loves it, and is completely at ease using it.
Great phone… I have Low vision now I can see and use my phone. Simple and easy to use. Just put your sims card in and away you go… No 2year added contract with ATT needed.
My elderly father absolutely loves his Snapfon! Now he can dial all numbers easily once again, without misdialing due to very small keypads of current cell phones. His stored contacts are readily found with just one scrolling push of the top arrow key. The ringer is loud, the numbers large and easily seen, and he does not have to fumble with opening a flip phone. I searched all cell carriers, specialty stores, and the internet trying to find a phone he could use with our current plan to no avail. Finally I found Snapfon – it is senior friendly, and even has one touch dialing for eight numbers. Way to go!!!
This phone arrived quickly, and presented exactly as advertised. This is the fourth phone I have purchased in the last nine months,trying to find something for my 91 year old mother that she could actually use. She suffers from macular degneration and severe hearing loss….so just getting a phone she could hear ring and manage to dial at all has been a godsend. The earpiece volume is loud enough to allow her to use the phone without having to remove her hearing aids. All she has to do is hold the phone about a quarter inch from her ear and there is no feedback. I think this is the phone we have been looking for all along.
Benefits:
-huge numbers
-different bands, allowing purchaser to select the provider
-flash light
-emergency number
-LOUD ring tone and key tone.
Drawbacks
-screen is very small, can’t see all the numbers dialed.
-feels flimsy, don’t think it will survive even one drop.
-keys also feel flimsy
-nearly impossible to text, given the small screen and confusing menu to reply or write messages.
-numbers only make a loud obnoxious sound, doesn’t sound out the number
-can’t turn to vibrate mode quickly, have to go through menu requiring more than 3 steps-impractical.
