Doro 1380 Unlocked 2G Dual SIM Mobile Phone for Seniors with 2.4" Display, Camera and Assistance Button (Black) [UK and Irish Version] (Black)

Ideal for non technical people Very easy to use Purchased for disabled man with absolutely no experience of technology Found I Phone unmanageable but finds this perfect

Good phone delivered on time

The Doro 1380 works well, and the setting up instructions are quite comprehensive, except for Bluetooth linking of the phonebook. I had to return the first phone to the retail store for refund because of a charging fault, but the one I bought from Amazon to replace it had no issues. The battery charge lasts me a week before I need to recharge. Not a smart phone, but a very workmanlike feature phone for calls and messages. It can hold two sim cards and a SD card for photos.

Great 2g phone for the lderly gave my family member at 78 confidence to text message as messaging simple to work . Could do with better battery capacity and spare battery availability hard to get for the 1380

Bought this primarily for simplicity and loud ringtone. However, the ringtone is not loud enough for a person with hearing aid. Also limited number of languages to choose from.

My Uncle who refuses to get a Smartphone has been relying on old Nokia handsets over the years, but after his last one died, we struggled to find another reasonably priced second hand knowing that any second hand phone also needs a new battery also. Even the new Nokia feature phones have tiny buttons. This Doro phone has chunky buttons that makes such a difference dialling numbers such as for keying in the long prepay credit voucher numbers. Even texting is so much easier and quicker than with the tiny buttons on his previous phones. Despite my uncle living in a poor signal area which causes higher battery drain, the Battery lasts over a week, sometimes 10 days. Call quality seems very good including a clear speaker phone and it seems to hold the network connection better than his previous phones in weak signal areas. Silencing and unmuting is simple by just pushing the # button for a few sections. The only minor niggle is there is no shortcut key customisation, such as to quickly open the SMS inbox. Its flash light has a physical on/off switch. While not as bright as most smartphones, it is sufficient for walking in the dark. The display is bright and easy to read as shown in the image. Navigating menus is quick as there are just a few menus for calls, texts, contacts, etc. It has a basic image gallery and low resolution camera. There is no web browser or anything that I could see that uses data, which is a big plus with the extortionate out-of-bundle data charges many prepay operators charge, particularly with most Smartphones using a small amount of data even with data turned off. After my uncle using the Doro for a month, he did not have any out of bundle data charges deducted from his call credit.

I bought this for my elderly grandmother. She had never really used mobiles before. We got her a few over the past few years that she tried to use but couldn’t get used to them and they got stuck in a drawer. This one though, she got used to within a few days. She loves it. As someone who still uses the landline with no caller display and no digital phone book, she still gets excited that she doesn’t have to get out her address book and look up numbers, because now they’re in her mobile. It’s a great quality device, and it also gives us peace of mind as a family because she is in her 90s now so having a mobile that she can keep on her to ring someone in an emergency rather than struggling to reach the landline is comforting to us , and we’ve setup the emergency button on it too, which sends a few of our family members an instant text saying the emergency button was pressed, and then it automatically round-robin calls us while putting her mobile on loudspeaker so we can speak directly to her in an emergency. Excellent value for money . I can’t speak so much for the features, it’s a pretty simple device, but the emergency button feature is great (although I would say that it’s a bit difficult to configure that button, for a device that’s targeted to the elderly). It’s a good size phone, with good sized buttons and text on the display, and the battery lasts a solid few days.

My 71 year old father was very upset when he put his SIM card in and nothing followed over we tried all sorts but nothing worked so he had to start from scratch retyping all his numbers over and because his old phones screen broke he couldn’t get the pictures either it ended up really upsetting him

Perfect for elderly parent

Bien i rapido

Purtroppo il telefono non ha la possibilità di mettere la lingua in italiano quindi per una persona anziana è inutilizzabile. Per questo ho fatto il reso.

Bonjour, l'article est bien arrivé à destination. Merci. Cdlt

Pour des seniors, ce produit est réellement adapté. Par contre la batterie du précédent n'a pas tenu un an. Peut-être un défaut isolé qui n'impacte pas tous les modèles.....
