Doro 6060 Unlocked 2G Clamshell Big Button Mobile Phone for the Elderly with 2.8" Screen, External Display and Charging Cradle Included [UK and Irish Version] (Red)

Perfect for people that just need a simple reliable mobile phone.Got this phone for my dad who doesn't get on with modern technology and wanted something simple to use, reliable and has good durability.This phone from Doro ticks all the boxes.My dad uses a hearing aid and the phone has a mode to increase the volume making it far easier to hear other people when they call.The front LCD display shows time and date on close but also who's calling if the phone is closed.The main LCD display is big with nice clear fonts that are easy to read and understand.The menu is also simple and easy to navigate.Included is a phone charger that the phone simple drops into meaning no messing about plugging a cable in everytime you want to charge.Overall a very well made and simple to use mobile phone.

Bought this for my blind friend. He finds it super easy to use, it has big buttons so he doesn’t get lost when making calls and answers a call by simply opening the top. Exactly what he needed.

I got this for my Mum as she needed something easy to use, easy to read and has buttons as she is unable to use a smartphone. This fits the bill nicely, the ringer is loud and the buttons are a good size and easy to press. The display is large and easy to read. If you have had experience with old Nokia phones like the 5110 or the 3210 then the menus work in the exact same way. The charger has a raised bump on one side so you can insert this by feel alone for people with poor eyesight, and the battery usually lasts a few days before it needs to be charged. Unless you have chatty friends who like to be on the phone for 90 minutes at a time, but this phone can handle that quite well.Two things to be aware of. One, there appears to be a bug with the software which saves some data onto the SIM card, even when you tell it not to, and doesn't always clear this out. This results in the phone giving "SIM card full" errors and causes problems sending and receiving text messages. You can clear this by selecting the option to delete all text messages... However, in my Mum's case, and likely in many others too, she has messages stored on the phone from people who have passed away and she can't bring herself to delete them. The only way I have found to clear this error without losing the messages is to remove the SIM card, put it into a smartphone and select the option to delete all texts on the SIM (this won't affect messages stored on the phone). This fixes it temporarily but the problem will keep occurring, so be prepared for monthly visits to the phone owner if they are in the same situation to sort this out if they are unable to do this themselves.Secondly, and this is a minor thing, the phone isn't capable of displaying emojis, you will just get blank squares on receipt. In this day and age this really shouldn't even be an issue, but there you go. You will have to use old school emoticons. :o) <3All in all though, a good, solid and otherwise reliable phone if all you need to do is call and text.

Simple phone for my 90 year old friend to stay in touch with his family.

I purchased this phone a few months ago and it is just what I wanted - a simple phone for making the occasional short call and sending text messages, using a Pay as You Go SIM card for maximum economy, with a lovely big screen, big text, and easy to operate. It is very reasonbly priced so I don't worry too much about losing it. It is unlikely to be nicked because of the limited number of functions, but I have received quite a lot of compliments on how stylish it looks. Its battery life is extraordinarily good and usually runs for two weeks before the phone reminds me it needs a top up. Finally, its clamshell design means there is no more pocket or handbag dialing by mistake!

So where to begin ....Its my mum and dads (80) favourite Mobile. having had Doro mobiles now for around 10 years this was a no brainer upgrade from the same clam shell devices that's been used before. They had the keys wearing out, scratches and the batteries were not lasting on their current devices so it was time to upgrade!This new upgrade red Doro came with a charging dock, and external screen which saves mum trying to open it to see who it is calling and for around £60-70 its a bargain. Its only 2G but with 3G being phased out in 2022 I am not bothered. (Little worried about 2025+ possible 2G possible phase out also)Ok so its basic but lets face it you are not buying this for social media or imessage! My mums texts are often reply's of 'OK' or 'XXX'. Also they don't use any data at all.So what's the only issues with it? Well these are the same as before. Its just needs software on a PC that you can connect it via the USB and transfer the Telephone numbers across and all the messages rather than the normal SIM transfer than can only be done on the keypad and takes ages. Also updating the Wallpaper, adding any 'ABBA' ringtones rather than the poor selection. Surely in 2021 we can have a Doro link software to make all the sons and daughters task of swapping a parents Doro mobile over to the new model easier?!Other than that its Great!

I bought this product for my elderly uncle who finds the idea of using smart phones. Still a bit too much. He was very happy with this as it is compact and easy for him to use as well as it has an adaptation for him because he wears hearing aids and he has found this has improved his calls and been able hear people on this phone better.
