This phone is GREAT!! I wear glasses and have low vision, but do not need one of those giant BIG button phones, well this phone is superb, the buttons are big, but not too huge. heck, they look normal size to me, not so teeny-tiny like all the phone makers are making them nowadays lol. and that is what i was looking for. the 2nd plus, is that you can actually cleaarly read the caller i.d. area, it too, is larger. thirdly, as an extra bonus, the audio on the phone is adjustable. i'm not hard of hearing yet, i'm only 49, but do have one ear that is better than the other. well now i can adjust the volume to fit both ears comfortably. all in all, this is a superb phone and i heartily recommend it!

I recently purchased this phone for my 84 year-old grandmother who is a little hard of hearing and needed a cordless phone with amplified sound. We couldn't be more delighted with this model. It is well designed, easy to use, and the earpiece volume amplification feature works very nicely. The blinking LEDs make it easy to see when the phone rings, and the caller ID has large easy-to-read characters. A great investment for $50.

This cordless fone is just the one that I have been looking for -- for years. It is cordless, has a choice of 2 ringtones, each with a high/low setting -- or you can turn ringer off entirely. The best thing, though, is the light that flashes when the telephone rings; so you can have the ringer off and still see the flashing light. The base also flashes -- and it's not a tiny flash .. it's really visible from across the room. You can carry on a conversation without the annoying ring. I understand that this telephone is basically for the hearing or visually impaired, but believe me, anyone would be happy with it.
And -- it is caller ID capable, has a redial button, 10 number memory, emergency button, etc.
It is an exceptional product !!!!

I bought one of these phones for my 94 y.o. mother who has nearly lost her eyesight due to macular degeneration. The phone works well enough, but the single Talk button toggles the hang-up function on and off. She can't tell very easiy whether she hit the Talk button and actually hung up. Consequently she has left the phone off-hook for many hours on several occasions. It would be better to have separate Talk and Hang-up buttons like cell phones have and also a bright red light on the phone to indicate the line is in use. The Talk button should also have a raised nipple or ring around it so that the person can easily feel when the button is under the finger.

after reading favorable reviews of this phone online, we bought one. Finally, we have a great phone. The sound is perfectly clear. The ringer is loud enough. The caller ID display is larger than normal so it's easy to read, and I like the larger buttons. We're not elderly (mid 40's) but this phone just has a great design for anyone but is especially good for those who have trouble reading a regular caller ID display or perhaps is hard of hearing because one of the features is an optional red blinking light display when the phone rings. There is also a volume boost if you have trouble hearing the other person. I'm buying another one for my mother who is in her 80's.
