TTfone Comet Big Button UK SIM-Free Emergency Mobile Phone - Black

Bought for 86 year old uncle that's going blind, and lives alone. He says he really likes the phone that it is bog standard , simple to use and he can make the buttons out and he likes the quick call for help aspect of it, so if he had a fall he can press a button and his neighbor will know help needed. He also like that it sits in a cradle to charge so he doesn't have to fiddle with finding charging holes

Received a replacement mobile phone for my wife as her existing phone was failing within 24 hours of placing order we received it Really easy to setup and understand functions Good simple phone ,only issue is pins in docking station sometimes stick in pushed down position this happens when phone is placed in docking station for charging only happens to one of the charging pins have to gently pull it back up to ensure connection otherwise ok

We bought this as an emergency phone to keep in a holiday cottage. It does the job, except that it has an annoying feature that if you leave it in the cradle to stay charged in bleeps every few minutes to tell you it is charged! Hence, people take it off the cradle and it runs out of charge and then when it is needed in an emergency (such as a power cut) it can't be used. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable this function so we have had to get rid of them.

Now I am very divided here. All the write ups were very good. It is as it all says, the video is excellent BUT it's what it doesn't say. There is no predictive text but considering it's meant to be a very easy phone to use, I can understand this. Not everyone gets predictive text and I can live without it. The main problem I am having is when a message is received, only the telephone number comes up not the name of the person. Yet the name comes up when receiving a phone call. So I contacted the maker TTfone. They have been brilliant (I am very pleased with the service they have provided) and kept in contact with me. I have had numerous e-mails, including a result. It seems the problem is that all the numbers need to be entered in your phone book as +44 as you would if it is an international number (don't forget to drop the zero). I really do like this phone but I haven't as yet altered my numbers so can't tell for certain if this will cure the problem at the moment but am hopeful. Using an old phone at present but will get on to this asap. It would have got 5 stars otherwise.

The manual might as well have been written in Swahili, it was unintelligible and gobbldy-gook. After several hours of button presses, beeps and boops and I actually ran out of expletives and profanities trying to get this thing to work! Finally we handed over to my 90 year old mother-in-law as the old girl needs a bit of security knowing she can always get hold of us in an emergency, she was chuffed to bits with it as it made her feel less vulnerable and more independent. I now can update my review of the phone. In a word, garbage. The buttons, menu and audio are terrible, the buttons are irrelevant in the functionality - say answering an incoming call you don't press the call button you press on of the small buttons "OK". The second gripe is the buttons have to be pressed pretty hard to get an actuation, this isn't good for a person with reduced sensitivity in their fingers, another reason why we purchased this phone for her. When dialling a number in the directory there is a bizarre series of button presses and drilling down two layers of sub-menus to make an call, no select number and press the call button, why? The output volume is so low even I can barely hear it and I'm a recording engineer! It's fizzy, faint and pointless, old people tend to have poor hearing, right? Flimsy build, it creaks with every button press and feels indistinct in the hand also its too slippery for people with reduced dexterity and grip. She is so disappointed as the times she really needed the phone to work, she had a fall on her doorstep and the SOS functioned tied to my wifes' phone didn't work, When her BT phone line crashed she couldn't make a call (see above) and despite us calling her she couldn't hear us.

We were disappointed to find the quality of the sound form the ear piece not even good enough for myself and my partner to have a test conversation on. I literally had to hang up and call him back form my own phone to tell him I couldn’t hear anything he was saying. Not only was the phone call quality terrible but there are 5 ring tones available and none of them are a classic ‘phone ringing’ tone which would be confusing for an elderly person so it’s unsuitable for the purpose it’s marketed for. Good big buttons but that’s about all it had going for it sadly.

Nice little phone, buttons feel nice, large clear screen, basic functions so as not to confuse things, very easy to set emergency and regular numbers, and make calls and texting, gives peace of mind for emergencies, its unlocked so you can use a pay as you go sim from your chosen company so its very cheap to get up and running, instructions included. very happy.

I'm sure it is a good phone but my Mum doesn't want it and keeps hiding it, so it hasn't had much use as yet. It was found once inside an Easter egg?

Bon Gsm pour personne agée, grande touche, son relativement puissant, accès au répertoire facile, rechargement par dock facile pour les anciens pas besoin de jouer avec un micro USB qui casse si on le secoue un peu trop ... Menu pas beau mais on s'en fou c'est un Gsm facile pas un tactile... Légé mais semble tenir bien ensemble. type de sonnerie: pas beaucoup de choix ... un peu dommage çà ne coutait rien au constructeur ....

Es un terminal muy útil para personas mayores, con teclas grandes y todo lo necesario para facilitar las comunicaciones. Un punto que veo a favor es el sistema de carga del propio móvil, en forma de base, sin cargadores con cables al modo habitual. Lo recomiendo.

Ho comprato questo telefonino per mia zia avendo ormai 90 anni serviva un telefono facile che potesse utilizzare nelle emergenze e ho deciso di prendere questo prodotto. Quello che mi ha colpito è stata la grandezza dei tasti e lo spazio che c'è fra ognuno di essi e questo per una persona anziana è davvero il massimo perchè spesso per comporre un numero schiaccia insieme 2 tasti sbagliando numero di telefono. Il display è da 1.77 risulta molto chiaro e leggibile ha un autonomia in conversazione di 3 ore e circa 120 in stanbdy,monta una batteria al Li-on da 660 mha. Se siete alla ricerca di un cellulare semplice ma allo stesso modo affidabile orientatevi su questo prodotto...dimenticavo la banda va dai 900 ai 1800 quindi forse potreste avere qualche problema con la 3 come compagnia per il resto nulla da ridire

Avevo già acquistato un altro telefono per senior, tra l'altro di un noto marchio, ma si era rivelato un pessimo acquisto perché di scarsa qualità (nonostante costasse più del doppio) e difficile da utilizzare. Questo articolo lo trovo ottimo per una persona anziana perché ha dei tasti ed un display molto grandi, un menù di facile navigazione (in italiano), e la base di ricarica evita errori di connessione delle piccole spine micro-usb.

Buen telefono para mayores, facil de manejar y con el tamaño y peso reducidos, de momento funciona bastante bien para su precio.
