Phone for the elderly. What kind is he?

The mobile phone market has a huge number of offers. Smartphones, communicators, exclusive models. Each phone has several dozens of various functions. Of course, this is suitable for the average buyer who uses e-mail, ISQ, edits texts, creates videos. But what about those who do not know what is bluetooth and access to the Internet? We are talking about pensioners, who do not need any novelties of progress. And the phone for the elderly should match the needs of the owner with their appearance and functionality.

Cell phones for the elderly are simple models, without bloat and superfluous, in terms of the pensioner, functions. What will this man need? Calendar, alarm clock, clock, yes quality connection. All the rest will only complicate the use.

In addition to simple functionality and a convenient menu, the phone for the elderly should have an appropriate design. Buttons are large, separated from each other, not merging with the body of the phone. The figures are written in large and contrasting colors. For example, white on a black background.

The display of the phone is large, preferably monochrome. Color screens are not quite comfortable for people with poor vision. They fade in the sun and ripple in the eyes. Well, if the phone supports font size settings, it's better to set the maximum size at once. This applies not only to the menu, but also to dialing. The figures are necessarily large, at least half the display. Do not forget about the clock, quite often they are displayed in very small font and are located somewhere in the corner of the screen. The elderly person simply does not see them. Some companies, for example, Nokia, provide in their inexpensive black and white models the clock in the entire display in standby mode.

The phone for the elderly necessarily supports the function of speed dialing. That is, each button with a digit is given a specific contact from the phone book. The user wants to dial the number of a particular person, clicks on the corresponding to this contact key, the number is automatically displayed on the display, it remains only to send a call. For convenience, you can record the belonging of each "hot key" to a certain person on a piece of paper and paste on the back of the phone. You can find on sale and a mobile phone for the elderly, which already provides a special insert on the cover of the device to record such numbers.

Suitable models can be found in almost any manufacturer. These are the most simple and inexpensive devices. But there are also phones designed specifically for retirees, which meet their functional and design needs of this particular category of users. These are in the Fly, Voxtel range. And some other manufacturers. In size, these models are slightly larger than others, they have huge buttons. The display is white-white, when dialing the number, the numbers are displayed in full screen and there is a sound that indicates each digit dialed, if not necessary, the sound is turned off. There are also phones compatible with the hearing aid and with the ability to adjust the maximum volume of the speaker.

Choosing a phone for the elderly, do not need to chase the novelties. It is in this case, the older the phone model, the easier it is for its owner to understand the menu. It is better to set the clock yourself, add entries to the phone book, adjust the volume of the sound and the speaker, pick up an annoying, but at the same time, quite loud melody. If necessary, set the alarm at the right time and days. Even such simple, at the usual sight, actions will cause difficulties for the elderly person.
