4.0 out of 5 stars Photophone for Mom, January 12, 2007

This item was purchased as a Christmas gift for my Mom. She is 83 and has altzheimers. The order came within a week. I did not open the box until after Christmas. Everything was perfect. The buttons are very easy to use. Instructions are clearly written. There is an amplify button that is a different color than the rest. My Mom loves that button because she is also hard of hearing. I have not inserted our photos yet but there is a template that makes that easy also. Prior to using or instead of using the template, there is a generic label. I am very please with this product. It has only been used for the passed few weeks but has worked flawlessly.

The only thing I would have liked to see improved on this phone is the red alert light for an incoming call. Movement of the red light would have drawn the user's eye to the ringing phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very user-friendly, October 28, 2008

As my grandfather continues on his journey of dementia, he is slowly loosing the ability to use the telephone and dial 7-digit telephone numbers to contact family members.

With the aid of the Internet, we were able to locate a source for this user-friendly telephone to assist him at this most needed time in his life. All he needs to remember is to pick up the receiver, push a picture of the person he wants to talk to (via speed dial), and wait until someone answers at the other end before starting a conversation.

This, of course, is not a solution to his eminent decline, but is a much-needed tool to assist him in his daily life activities.

The phone has functioned exceptionally. It is very easy to set up and to use. I give this phone system a very high recommendation. And thank the company for offering such a service.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good phone, parents not so impressed., October 22, 2009

I thought this phone would be great for my Mom and Stepdad (both 80 years old) whom we moved into assisted living last week. I think the large buttons are great, but as far as the pictures go, it was a nice thought, but the pictures are so small, it's hard to tell who is in them. At their age it seems that any new gadget just confuses them more. Would have been nice to have some way to stick the photo's on the buttons. I ended up using sticky dots from Michael's.
