Mercury 2 Big Button Easy to Use Mobile Phone for Elderly and Seniors, Basic Cell Phone, Sim Free, Loud Volume with Dock - TT200

Great simple easy to use mobile phone. I bought this for my grandma and she loves it. The buttons are big so easy to see and the menu is very simple. It comes with a stand to charge it so it can sit next to the bed and always be nearby. My grandma lives on her own, so having the SOS button gives us peace of mind that as soon as she pushes that button it sends 3 of us a text message. I must admit, she does often press this by mistake, sending us into panic but it is still definitely worth having. The battery lasts 3-4 days. This phone is purely aimed at the older generation so is VERY basic, not ideal for anyone that likes to surf the net or play games, or even take photos.

I purchased this phone for a family member for Christmas and the phone itself is great. The display is clear and it is very easy to use and the phone small, so when held to the ear, just looks like a normal small modern phone. Unfortunately the other main requirement of it, was to be used with the Bluetooth in the car. The phone connected to the car and it was possible to dial numbers, but you could not see the the names in the phone book or the last numbers dialed. The car in question was a Volvo. Interestingly enough, the previous phone which was a Huawei, worked perfectly. I contacted the seller, who was very helpful and understanding. Absolutely fantastic customer service. Other than the Bluetooth/Volvo compatibility issue, the phone is a really great purchase. I especially liked the way it could be charged via dropping into the supplied dock.

An ideal phone for such as me who want an easy to read and use, simple phone. I can find it in my bag quickly and at home it stands on its charging unit ready to hand. It charges quickly, comes with a good understandable operating booklet. Once I got a SIM card for it fitted at my local phone shop I can now have it to hand and use it without taking out a contract with a phone company (I don't use the phone all day, every day, as some seem to) so I will be able top it up when I need to at my supermarket (apparently). I love the large text size so I don't have to find my glasses every time I want to use or answer it. I am now contactable when I am out and about. The family are pleased about this too!Comment added later..... The phone stopped charging after a while - a fairly common problem, I understand. I bought a second identical one and swopped over the sim card so that I didn't lose all my contacts details etc. This way I then got a working phone again for a reasonable price. Up until now I still find this phone very good for my use, although it did take some time to get used to its controls at every stage.

I bought this PAYG phone for my Dad who was struggling with a hand me down flip open Nokia phone with small buttons. It's not too big and it's lightweight, slim and works with his existing Orange PAYG SIM card. The screen is big and the backlit buttons are easy to see and press and you can set it up so that when typing in numbers a voice tells you which numbers you have pressed. The battery life is very good and it locks and the screen goes off after 30 seconds. You can add nine quick dial options that involve just pressing one pre-defined button for two seconds when making a call. There's a handy torch too (press the '0' button for 3 seconds to switch it on and likewise to switch if off).It has extra features that I don't think most people using this phone will want or use (as my Dad said "I just want to make and receive calls"). You can add a MicroSD card and play MP3s or display photos on the screen. There's no headphone input and the sound quality from the inbuilt speaker is, expectedly, somewhat very limited and the radio can't pick up any stations whatsoever despite living in a built up area.Finding numbers stored on the SIM card is straightforward but it has one baffling flaw. When selecting a number to dial from your list of contacts, you press the green button and instead of calling the number it comes up with two options on the screen to either 1. Add new contact or 2. Call. You have to press the down arrow key to select the 'Call' option and then press the green button again... Why it gives you the option to add a new contact when you're attempting to call an existing one is a mystery.Ultimately this is a good phone and it's about half the price of similar ones my dad was thinking of buying from one of those catalogues you get pushed through the letter box. Overall rating: 3½ stars

It’s basic, but with a large keypad easier for arthritic fingers and an easily navigable menu.I am pleased with this purchase, and battery life is good as well.

On hands free it’s great for a senior with hearing problems.Actually a lifesaver.Good service and delivery.

Generally very pleased with this; easy to set up with a giffgaff sim card, and the buttons are big, backlit, and fine for an old person. Being able to increase the volume of a speaker's voice is helpful too. Minor disadvantages so far; seems to need recharging very regularly after negligible use; the FM radio just seems a load of crackle and hiss (instructions say that plugging in earphones should help clarity of reception, but what old person is going to mess around with those...?). There is also a torch that is easy to activate. Value for money, no question of that.

Purchased for elderly mother, she can see the buttons and use it well. Definitely worth the investment for elderly or visually impaired

Lo mejor es que viene con pantalla grande y números grandes, muy recomendable para personas mayores que no ven bien.

Det var nog inget fel på apparten. Den accepterades inte av min mobilleverantör.Jag vill inte ha någon återbetalning, eftersom jag inte haft några utlägg för den här varan. Jag har inte betalat fakturan då det var klart med returen.Vänliga hälsningarGunnar

Ich habe das Handy für meine Großeltern bestellt wegen der Großen Tasten und der einfachen Bedienung.Echt tolles und günstiges Handy!

I materiali sono davvero ottimi, il peso e presso a poco inesistente,display luminoso e abbastanza grande; i tasti sono enormi al punto giusto, batteria con ottima autonomia, piattaforma di ricarica che tiene il cellulare sempre in vista,suonerie con volumi molto alti, pensato per un pubblico adulto ma in tutti i punti di vista chiamate di emergenza preimpostabbili menu' intuitivo e sintetico. ottimo prodotto, davvero non trovo un difetto per l'utilizzo che ne viene fatto consiglio vivamente .

Tél. acheté pour des personnes de 76 et 80 ans très peu à l'aise sur des nouvelles technologies, pour l'une gros problèmes d'audition, pour l'autre: appareillé en auditif.Précédent tél. mobile: Samsung C3050- Taille du produit: Très bien !- Taille et toucher des touches: excellent- Sonnerie bien puissante mise au maximum.- Un plus rare sur bien des téléphones: quand on compose un n°, la voix lit le numéro au fur et à mesure des chiffres- Le son en conversation est excellent: clair et puissant. Ils m'entendent ce qui est un progrès très net par rapport à l'ancien téléphone.- Qualité de la Réception: le Samsung ne passait pas dans leur cuisine. Celui passe (même opérateur, même carte Sim)- Utilisation: en 2 jours savent utiliser le téléphone correctement alors qu'ils sont perdus avec le Samsung qu'ils ont depuis 2-3 ans.Nets progrès sur les "postes" qui posaient soucis.- Base de recharge très propre et facile à poser (comme le tél fixe de maison)- Mode d'emploi: J'ai moi-même fait la lecture du mode d'emploi pour leur expliquer le fonctionnement . Mode d'emploi pas simple pour eux au 1er abord.- Touche "sos" testée une fois avec mon numéro: c'est difficile ensuite d'arrêter l'appel.Bref, c'est un vrai plus pour cet achat, à un tarif défiant toute concurrence.
