Landline Phones for Home, Big Button Corded, Ladies Pink

Princess phones are usually described as cute and retro. Maybe the target market is people who miss the 1960s or who wish they'd lived then. But there's another, even more important, market for this type of phone: people with dementia. My 84-year-old mom is in the middle stages of an Alzheimer's-like dementia. Recently she moved into assisted living, and she had to provide her own phone. Cell phones have way too many (and too tiny) buttons for people with cognitive challenges. Regular phones also have unnecessary buttons, and many models have integral answering systems, which are mysterious and unusable for people like my mom. Cordless phones, like cell phones, also have the disadvantage of being easily misplaced and forgotten. So a corded phone with minimal buttons is the way to go. Picture phones, on which each button has a photo of a loved one, instead of a number, sounded good to me till I read reviews saying these phones make it too easy for the caller to dial the same person repeatedly all day long. I wanted Mom to have a basic, simple, old-style phone that required punching in the numbers, but that had no other options on it. Also Mom loves pink. So I bought this phone. It's perfect: a short cord, a minimum of buttons, nothing confusing anywhere on it, it rings loudly, and it's pink. Someday Mom won't be able to push the buttons and make calls, but by that time she may not know what a phone is anyway. Tragically, that's the reality of dementia. But meanwhile, this is the ideal phone for her. I recommend that people who need to buy a phone for a senior with mid-stage dementia seriously consider this little princess phone.

The phone quality of this phone is awesome! I can hear her loud and clear! Thank you for making it easy to speak with her. My mother naturally has a soft voice, and I constantly had to ask her to speak up on a regular phone. She said that it was unbelievably easy to set up on her own. She loves the big, easy-to-press buttons and the bright backlight. It was very helpful for her to make phone calls right after her cataract surgery. After her hand surgery, she was thankful to have a phone that is thick enough to grasp without much effort. The only critique she has is she wants to be able to see who is calling and be able to block the unwanted calls with a touch of a button.

Looks great, sounds great. But it could use some added weight to it. The original phones from the 70s were solid and stayed I place. This one is too light and slides around the table when using it. The cord needs to be longer from handset to base. Even trying to stretch it didn't help. Overall it's ok.

Cute but doesn’t work. Amazon doesn’t help old people with mobility issues return things. I’ll put it in the trash and learn a thirty dollar lesson since I am unable to drive to drop off at return center. If I could drive I wouldn’t be using Amazon to buy a phone. Maybe they should do check to make sure they are selling good products.

This phone is just what I wanted! My last cheaper landline phone was very light and would fall off the table easily! This phone is a much better weight and the keys light up which is nice! I’m very pleased!!

I bought this phone in May 2022. I liked it a lot. It's small, doesn't take up a lot of desk space, is easily moved around. I like the Earth Day Green color too. The sound quality is fine---better that the Clarity phone I had before. My only only complaints are that the ringer was not as loud as I would like and the lever to turn the phone off and on is quite small and I think that some older people might have a hard time moving it. All was well until one day last week when there was a loud buzzing on the line. Century Link sent out a technician who checked the wires inside and out and said that the problem could have come from a recent rain/thunderstorm. After repairing any outside damage he checked my line with his phone and it was fine but my phone still did not work. He said, at that point, that my phone was broken. I had fortunately, I thought, bought an extended warrently through Asurion on Amazon but they told me that the policy did not cover this damage (?!) They did say that they would refund the cost of the policy and directed me to contact the manufacturer of the phone. I do not see anyplace on their website to contact them. If the manufacturer or distributor reads this, please tell me how to contact you. I still like this model and may buy another. Perhaps the manufacturere will make things right.

I ordered the earth green corded phone. I love it! It's a phone, nothing extraordinary. But it works,it does its job. I would suggest ordering a longer cord if you plan on using this more than just for emergencies. There's only an on or off switch for the ringer, ring is loud, it also has a flashing light while ringing. I never had to contact the seller but they seem to be on point with their customer service. As soon as I placed my order they notified when my phone would be arriving, offered if I there were any issues to please contact them. Shortly after the package arrived they also emailed stating my order should have been delivered and if not to contact them right away. I think if there were any issues this company would be right there handling it. Thank you again USA Trading Depot

If you are looking for an attractive (mint green rather than lime green) trimline phone that works well and doesn't have bells and whistles this is it. Since it is a secondary phone in the bedroom, I wanted to be able to turn the ringer off and I could. It is very lightweight; alas, companies making these phones do not give any thought to making them weigh a couple of pounds so you have to be aware that you might want to have the phone very close or do as I do and simply move the phone to the bed while talking so it doesn't lift off the nightstand. Overall, I am very pleased and can recommend this if you don't need a phone to do much besides that which it was originally designed to do.

Funcionou direitinho

Item arrived quickly. The phone is basic and easy to use with large buttons. It is very lightweight however and pulls easily off the desk-top. It also needs a longer cord between the handset and phone base. Otherwise works as expected.

Despite local Telco intervention as recommended by the product brochure, unable to reset the dialtone . Unable to make any outgoing calls. The phone can only receive incoming calls.

لا يلبي الاحتياج لانة غير عملي وسيئ سيئ سيئ للغاية

My Mother has greatly diminished eyesight and could not manage the buttons on her other phone. This is so basic, she can't mess it up. The buttons are big enough she can see them okay.
