Doro PhoneEasy 311c Landline Phone - Big Button Corded House Phone - Ideal for the Elderly - 3 One-Touch Memories - Visual Ring Indicator - No Answerphone (White) [UK and Irish Version]

Cheap and basic with large keys. Does what it says and is quite robust. Clear sound and loud ringer.

Bought for my elderly mother, to replace a (not quite as elderly) BT Converse amplified phone that was starting to become unreliable.For the price (around 30 quid) it is a good option, and has certainly been useable for my Mum.Plus points:Good amplified handset, with well thought out volume control (volume for handset is only visible when you lift the handset, avoiding confusion with the speaker volume control)DEFINITELY a big-button phone!Caller ID works well (I'm using it with a Cisco VoIP device, so it isn't hard-wired to only work with BT CID)Seems durable, and the large "I'M RINGING" LED bar is a good feature.Minus Points:Only 3 direct call buttons, and only 30 entries in the dialling directory (good as long as you don't have too many friends), also very limited name field, as well as the usual difficulty in entering letters via a number-only keypad...Other than the direct call buttons, the dialling directory is a bit counter-intuitive, and not very conducive to an elderly mother who thinks that TV channels numbered greater than 5 are "the work of the devil". Basically, for me, the dialling directory is only of use to put names to caller-IDsRinger could be louder (other residents may disagree!) - only 3 settings for ringer, and one of those is "off"...Speaker-phone isn't wonderful, especially at the volume levels required if you NEED an amplified phone. Volume control for it is well hidden too...Overall though, it does what we need it to, and it didn't break the bank.

Good size numbers easy to use

Since the BT phone systems changed to digital internet, I tried several phones that could work but did not! This is the only one that has! Excellent phone in every way. Great ring, sturdy, clear for the elderly to use and reliable.

Bought this for my father who is older and experiencing mental decline. He has lost 2 mobile phones in the past year and so decided to get a landline installed with this phone so it stays in one place. It's simple, easy to use, ringer is loud, and there is space to write 3 phone numbers on the phone itself so perfect for our situation.

Very disappointed at the volume and there was not a port for my emergency button lead.

Unfortuantely the phone did not fit into the system, I have set up for my 87 year old mother. It was functional and did have big buttons and would have been ideal, plus the price point for the product was right.The ring and the light to indicate it was ringing was good. But inorder to include this into my mothers phone network I would needed to have bought 3 units , and therefore brought the price point to a highrer level and no gurantee they would fit into phone system. So the unit was returned.

Really well made. My aunt found it easy to use and plenty of volume to support her poor hearing. Very easy to add contacts to the quick dial buttons.
