You would like to buy a senior cell phone, but don\u2019t know what all to think about? No problem, we are happy to explain it to you in this article. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

More than ever, we live in a communication age. It is impossible to imagine daily life without the cell phone. Yet these technological advances are not easy for everyone. Seniors, in particular, regularly find it difficult to operate a phone, especially when hearing or sight deteriorates. Fortunately, there are very nice solutions. In this way, you, your parents or your grandparents can still continue to have fun on the phone. <\/p>\n\n

What actually is a mobile senior phone?<\/h2>\n\n

Cell phones today are highly sophisticated devices with countless functions. This makes them far from easy for seniors to use. That is why there are cell phones that are developed specifically for seniors. They are less elaborate, easy to operate and often have useful additional features. We recommend paying attention to these: <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Large(er) buttons and text<\/h3>\n\n

Perhaps it is an open door, but of course it is nice to be able to read the screen and press the buttons easily. Therefore, with a smartphone, always check if it is possible to adjust the size of the buttons and the text, and with a traditional cell phone how big the buttons are and if the screen is easy to read. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Bluetooth<\/h3>\n\n

Bluetooth is a wireless signal that allows your phone to communicate with other devices. This is especially useful when you also have hearing aids that have bluetooth. This is because you can \u201cpair\u201d your phone with your hearing aids. Then when you make or receive a call, the sound comes in through your hearing aids. Isn\u2019t that nice? <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Emergency function (SOS)<\/h3>\n\n

Several senior phones have a special emergency function. When a button is pressed, it then calls someone (or several people) you\u2019ve specified in advance, and automatically sends the phone\u2019s location. That gives peace of mind doesn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

GPS<\/h3>\n\n

GPS (Global Positioning System) is used to determine a phone\u2019s location and for navigation. Even if you do not use your phone for navigation, however, it is useful, as you can also make sure that your children (or someone else) can follow you. This way they can keep an eye on you, which is very safe. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Docking station<\/h3>\n\n

A docking station or base station is a box to put your cell phone in and charge it. It actually works just like a cordless home phone. The advantage is that you don\u2019t have to fiddle with a cable, and when you\u2019re home you always know where your cell phone is. <\/p>\n\n
