Elderly Phones for Seniors, HePesTer P-46 Amplified Corded Phone for Hearing Impaired Extra Large Button Phone with Loud Speakerphone for Elderly Home Landline Phones Visually Impaired Telephone

Phone was purchased for an 88-year-old handicapped woman who has vision impairment for which the large buttons and easy contrast of numbers against background make it easy to use. Also, there aren't a lot of extra features to get in the way of simply picking up the phone and dialing a number and talking. Her old phone had dozens of functions that were activated by pressing one of the keys and it made it almost impossible for her to use the phone because other functions were called into play preventing her from using the phone. It's simple to use, straight forward, has a loud ring. Really likes it.

Purchased this phone for my elderly father who lives in assisted living period. He has hearing, speech, grip, and mobility issues that affect his ability to use a telephone without assistance. The phone has a speaker phone for a hands free option and this is particularly helpful for conference calls. There are 3 memory buttons you can set up to program 3 different numbers for one button push dial. This makes it really easy for my dad to call us if he needs anything in case he forgets our number. When we received the phone we followed the instructions and registered it. When we went to set up the phone we made a mistake without knowing it and plugged the handset into the outjack on the back of the phone. For some reason we completely missed the handset Jack on the side of the phone. Needless to say we didn't get the phone to work and we were very frustrated. The next day I had resigned myself to purchase a different phone when customer service from HePesTer phone reached out to me via text to ask me how it went with. The installation of the phone. I told them that we couldn't get the phone to work and I thought it was defective. They responded with some troubleshooting things to try to see if we could get the phone to work. I was certain I had done everything right? The first time and was reluctant to try but I did anyway. Needless to say when I Followed the customer service reps (THANK YOU, Peggy!) suggestions that's when I discovered the jack for the handset on the side of the phone. I was embarrassed about being such a dimwit. But I was extremely happy that the phone was now working and I didn't have to get a new one after all. My dad absolutely loves the phone it's easy for him to use. I would recommend this phone for anyone.

I bought 2 of these phones for 87 year old. Phones are easy to use. It is difficult to get the jack into the handset, but it does fit. It is a deep seated slot so you have to get it spot on. A little hard to hang on the wall, better used as a table top phone. I bought longer cords so mom could sit on a chair and not have the phone pulled with her.

I got this for my 89 year old father who is hard of hearing for Christmas. It seemed perfect. He could hear the loud ring and then talk on the phone again! It was loud and clear. Then it stopped working, at first intermittently - then dead. It took a phone technician to come out and diagnose it because it didn't seem like it could be the phone (he thought it was the phone line). He now has his old one plugged back in. I need to see what kind of warranty information there is directly. Otherwise, it's going in the trash.

There is a lot of static when you're on a call. I have been trying to troubleshoot this since I purchased the phone by buying a new receiver cord and new cord to plug into the wall. It seems fixed one day and horrible the next. This phone is for my mother who lives in a nursing home. Her friends have called me and told me they can't talk on the phone with my mom because the static is so loud they can't hear her. I have experienced the same. I want to return this phone and it says I am past the return date. Can you help me please.

The phone would have been great as a desk phone but did not work as a wall phone because the holes on the back did not line up with the wall plate

This phone is perfect. My mother in law does not see well, she's 78, and can't make phone calls cuz she can't read the numbers. When we brought this phone to her and hooked it up, she went nuts. The numbers are big enough for her to see. Plus has memory buttons to preprogram as well. She's called us 3 times since we left the house! Good thing I like her! LoL Excellent product! I would recommend this phone AND I would recommend purchasing it from this seller because they are easy to work with and have fantastic service!

I purchased this phone for my octogenarian parents for its ease of use and it is easy for them to use but the 911 button accidently got pressed and the local police department showed up to make certain everything was ok. I think the product could be improved if the phone made an alarm sound or the red light blinked if an older person accidently presses the 911 button. Of course if there had been an actual emergency where 911 services were required it could be a life saver, so one of those things I guess one could say. I've hopefully got my parents to NOT accidently press the 911 button again, or I'll have to get them a similar phone without that feature.
