  • Pros
    the torch
  • Cons
    No tethering

Major drawback - not mentioned on Telstra site - is the inability of the phone to receive internet, or to be tethered to a pc or laptop as a modem. This means, for example, the 2GB data you pay for with Cap Encore is unuseable with this phone.

  • Pros
    Easy Lock
  • Cons
    Automatic Turning-OFF

Care needs to be taken if buying for an elderly person as the phone I purchased for my Mother had the settings set to turn the phone off automatically after a designated number of hours, meaning we could not contact her. If you purchase the phone go to "Settings" and set this feature to "off" i.e. in-active or what you feel is appropriate

  • Pros
    large keys and fonts
  • Cons
    NO BLUETOOTH

My parents are retired NOT stuck in a wheelchair in a home, why doesn't it have bluetooth so they can drive without getting fined? Otherwise looks great.

  • Pros
    large buttons and texting font size
  • Cons
    case would have been nice

I have Parkinson's, and my hand shakes often, the loud speaker for incoming calls is great, best yet. the size of the letters (font size)for texting and reading excellent, truly the best on the current market for people my age, would suit others also, this would be perfect, if one could be made with all facilities camera, email, and video calls. deluxe model
