Cell Phone For Elderly





Elderly people need special devices, like mobile phones or computers, because their senses are not at their maximum capacity, as they were 20 or 30 years ago. And not only this; a person that has never used a computer or a mobile phone in his/her life before will face some difficulties in using a powerful mobile phone, such as a smartphone. So we definitely do not recommend a mobile phone like this to elderly people.

According to some reviews made online, the most popular mobile phones created for senior people as well, not only for young adults and children, are: the Motorola WX345, the Samsung SPH-M360 and the Just5 J509 mobile phone. All of them have large buttons, fonts and easy commands for everyone to understand.

We will start by saying a few words about the Motorola WX345 phone. This product has also integrated a digital player, a digital camera and an FM radio. Its cellular technology is GSM. The product benefits of features like: call timer, conference call capability, caller ID, Bluetooth Wireless interface, speakerphone, vibrating alert, polyphonic ring tones, intelligent typing, world clock, the possibility of sending and receiving text messages and of recording videos because it has a digital camera, as we have said earlier. The display is based on the LCD technology and offers a display resolution of 128 x 160 pixels.

The second phone is produced by Samsung and has only a digital camera. No FM radio with this product. With it, you can send and receive text messages, play games, store videos shot by yourself, download screensavers and ring tones. This phone is powered by a 1000 mAh lithium-ion battery, that offers up to 372 minutes of talk time.

A very interesting phone is the one produced by Just5, a novelty to many that haven't heard of this company yet. This cellular phone comes with an FM radio feature, but no cameras. It uses also the GSM technology, the most powerful of all these 3 mobile phones presented here, because its band is 850/900/1800/1900, thus a quadband. In general, mobile phones today use a triband to receive cellular signals. A quadband is much better. The additional features of this phone compared to the previous two ones are a flash light and an SOS button. The phonebook capacity is of 100 names or numbers; with this phone you can send and receive text messages and voicemails; its display is a monochrome backlit LCD display and the battery offers up to 100 minutes of talk time.
