artfone CS182 2G Big Button Mobile Phone for Elderly丨SOS Button丨Speed Dial丨Easy to Use丨SIM Free Unlocked Senior Mobile Phone丨Charging Dock丨1800mah Battery丨Bluetooth丨FM丨Dual SIM丨Keyboard Lock - Black

So far so good. Easy set up. Good feature of the SOS button at the back if the person needs to call someone in an emergency. There is a light flick switch at the side for a touch. Big font on the buttons which is nice and clear. the sound quality is great goes up to level 9. The charging feature is good you can use the usb into the phone or use the phone stand charger. We had to change my mom's phone because her Tesco SIM card wasn't working in her old phone only picking up 2g, so this phone is a perfect swap.

Nice simple phone for seniors — the buttons are big, the screen is clear, and the SOS function gives extra peace of mind. It’s easy to set up and perfect for basic calling and texting. The charging dock is a convenient touch too. The only issue is the battery doesn’t last as long as I hoped — usually needs charging every couple of days. Still, a very practical and user-friendly phone overall.

Excellent small phone with large numbers and SOS button on back - ideal for elderly who do not need all the 'raz a mataz' of a smartphone.

I had an earlier version of this Artfone which I really liked. It stopped working when my service provider moved from 3G to 4G network. I bought this 4G version thinking I would simply be able to move my sim card from the old phone to the new. However this did not work and after inserting my sim card I kept getting the message "insert sim". I was unsure as to whether the fault lay with the phone or with my sim card. I went into a phone shop and asked for their advice. They tried my sim card in another phone and it worked fine so it was clear that the problem lay with the phone. I, therefore, returned the phone to Amazon and got a refund. This was a shame as I really liked this phone. It was small and compact and very easy to use. I liked that it was a flip phone as I could simply shut the phone and pop it in my pocket. Possibly I was just unlucky getting a faulty phone.

I bought this phone to act as a second phone for use in Ireland. I already had an old Nokia clam shell phone which I had got in Ireland, where I have family and visit often. My Nokia was no longer being supported by Vodafone, so the Artphone seemed like a great replacement. I ordered it on 5 August and it arrived promptly. I had to wait for a SIM card from Vodafone Ireland to be brought to me by a family member. It was easy to activate with my old number. Very satisfied. It duly arrived at the end of last week and I had no trouble in inserting it and going online to activate. All seemed to be perfect. The controls and functions are all very similar to my old Nokia so I felt very comfortable with it. Until I came to write a text. I selected “Write text” and then pressed on of the keys. A number was inserted. For those who are not familiar with this style of keyboard, it is a bit quaint. Each key represents one number and three letters Press the number 2 and you get A. Press it twice and B appears. Three times for C and four times for 2. Except, on this Artfone, press the number 2 and 2 comes up straight away. Similarly for every key - just the numeral. Obviously there must be some way of changing the keyboard mode. No mention is in the little instruction manual, or on-line. I experimented with every combination of keyboard stoke and menu option I could think of. I emailed the email address for customer service. Email returned undeliverable. We have just had a Public Holiday weekend in the U.K. so I waited until this morning to phone the number given on the website. Number unavailable. Now what do I do.

This is a fabulous little phone and fool proof! Anyone can use it. A elderly gentleman came out of hospital who we were looking after and needed to be able to get hold of help, I brought this phone as it had the sos function but also the big buttons. After programming in the phone numbers for him it was easy. All he had to do was either speed dial for 2 favourite numbers which is a case of press and hold down the star or hash key or go up and down the phone book which he managed with ease. He has been through many phones before and this is the first one he has picked up and been able to use with ease. The sos function sends a sos text and phones the number you programme and when he presses the back sos button hard it sends that alert. So I will know he is in trouble and needs help. I also love that the charger is a stand that can sit beside the bed and therefore he can be safe at night also. The only bad thing is they do not supply a plug for the charger and so you will need a usb plug brought also. Apart from that it’s a great little phone.

Great little item with easy access buttons clear screen. Still acclimatizing to use after time with smartphone but this powerhouse is shaping up as my new best friend. Sim from previous model easily transferred to maintain credit continuity.

Happy with this flip phone mainly with features but did have few issues when setting it up. The charger cradle is a bit hit and miss and after having issues to get contacted decided to use the cable direct into the Base option, also battery took bit of fiddling for contact. It was purchased for replacement for elderly person who had similar model before but we had to work some things out as it has no full functions manual just basics showing how to insert battery, charging and basic settings.

Semplicissimo, comodo, compatto e leggero. Il telefono ideale per persone anziane.

Nice little phone ideal for my dad easy to use and loud

Werkt niet 2g

Hallo, habe dieses handy für einen Freund meines Vaters gekauft, (Rentner mitte 70) handy leicht zu bedienen funktioniert gut etc also dafür sehr zu empfehlen. ABER!!!! Hier mein aber die usb c buchse ist nur eine reguläre usb c buchse bedeutet es unterstützt kein PD (Powerdelivery ist das schnell lade protokoll für usb c) wodurch nur usb A auf usb C kabel zum laden funktionieren bzw keine schnelllade Geräte da passiert dann nichts diese info wollte ich nur an alle raus geben die das handy für jemand anderen oder sich selbst kaufen.

Do quattro stelle solo per scrupolo, perche' in realta' parrebbe proprio un buon telefono per anziani, facile e intuitivo e con tutte le caratteristiche che ti aspetti possano agevolare le persone un po' su con gli anni ( numeri ben visibili, suoneria alta, tasti grandi...) se dura e' un telefono che consiglio vivamente e ha anche un ottimo rapporto qualita' prezzo. L'unico neo e' che potevamo aggiungere anche gli auricolari nella confezione.
