Does anyone know an EASY phone for the Elderly? (GSM)

[luvvey_00001]

Hi all,

I have a T-Mobile family plan in NYC and have a grandmother who currently has a a siemens (i think) cell phone. Well her eye-sight is fading and she can no longer look for the "Quick Dial" keys (as the keys are all close together).

I purchased an unlocked FireFly---and was dissappointed that the ONE BUTTON Dialing requires you to press a Small SEND button as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations? LARGE NUMBER Pad? Voice Dial? Something Simple with a QUICK DIAL feature?

Thanks in advance!

How about the Nokia 6010 or Motorola V180?

Exactly I was going to reccomend the Nokia 6010. My mother can even send a text message if she wants to spen an hour sending it.

im getting my mom a nokia 6061... that way they dont need to lock the keypad or anything.

I do like Nokia's but not sure if that is the best option.

Ideally it would have a big button for her to see and press and ONE BUTTON dialing--not 2. Also a downside of the candybar style phones is the "hang Up" is dont by a button as well.

I have seen a company called JITTERBUG which makes some promising phones---but I dont think they can be used on T-Mobiles network. DOE

Yea i would go with Nokia. They are very to use...

My grandparents have the 6102i and are very happy with them.
