Phone works fantastic for the 82 year old woman that I care for. She can hear and talk with no problems. The light and ring tone is perfect for her as well. Arrived prepackaged with easy install and in a rightly time frame.

Purchased for my eithty-eight year old father, who is both hearing and vision impaired. This is a very good product and, though it doesn't say so in the description, it has thirteen programmable buttons which is very helpful.

Bought this for my mother, who finally can hear telephone conversations more easily. She also loves the 3 pre-programmed buttons, so she doesn't have to remember our phone numbers. Very happy with this phone.

I bought this for my father who is 83. Other relatives installed it for him report that the ringer is very loud but my father was unable to hear it. Apparently this phone only has a single ring tone and if you are deaf to that frequency you are out of luck. They swapped an old AT&T / Bell Labs phone they had which he can hear ring. Given that the other reviews are positive I am leaving a 3-star rating for this product.

have tried seven different phones over the past four years for my mother who is now ninety. Some were too complicated, some weren't loud enough, one would go dead after a few minutes of her conversing, one didn't register the number one after a few months of dialing. She has a lot of telemarketers call her but I also got her a big illuminated caller ID so now she doesn't pick up if she doesn't know the caller. She calls me triumphantly to tell me she has resisted the impulse, and says she finds nothing wrong with her new phone!

Phone volume and button size is perfect for the elderly. Memory button is too close to 911 button making a dialing error all too possible.

My hearing ability is about 60% and one of my biggest problems is hearing the phone ring. This phone is great. I haven't missed a call yet and my conversations are now loud and clear. Not having to ask someone to repeat themselves several times also relieves me of a lot of embarrassment. The large pads and numbers are great too. I don't have to wear glasses to dial. I haven't tried all the available functions yet but being able to hear again is most satisfying. The phone is reasonably priced and of good quality.

PERCHED FOR MOM, 85.
SHE LOVES IT; CAN SEE NUMBERS,HEAR WELL WITHOUT BOOST, & HAS EMER. BUTTONS WORKING.
OLD PHONE WENT TO DUMP.

I work at a nursing home and the patients love the volume, and the hands free, and I love the ease of programing their speed dialing, and especially amazons price. I hope this phone is around for a long time. Thanks Jerry Ooten

The phone was easy to set-up...my older parents had no problem. I have spoken to them several times since they got the phone and they both want to use it...so the soulution is to replace their cordless with the GE cordless model also! I would highly recommend this product.
