How to choose a cell phone for retired people?

Today it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without a cellular connection. Mobile phone is almost everyone, and even more than one. Even modern grandparents got their own devices. Often for them, this is not just a whim, but a vital accessory. Especially if the old people live separately and far enough from their children. In this case, they not only want to communicate with them, but emergency help may also be needed. In such situations, you need a phone.

For pensioners not suitable for any device. Of course, they do not need a touch phone with incredibly fast access to social networks. Although there are also advanced grandmothers who communicate with their children and grandchildren via Skype. But this is more an exception than the rule. For most, very different parameters are important. The phone for senior citizens should be convenient and easy to use.

Therefore, when buying a similar device, you should pay attention to its appearance. It should be large enough, it is good to lie down in the palm of your hand and do not slip. With age, it is harder for a person to hold any objects in his hands. It is also very important that the buttons are large and easy to press. It is unlikely that it will be convenient for an elderly person to have a phone with a small keyboard. It is worth paying attention to the lighting. It should be bright.

Since with age people see pretty badly, it's important that the screen not only has a large size, but also displays large characters. Another cell phone for pensioners does not have to have a color screen. Sometimes the black and white version looks even more attractive and clear to grandparents. It is worthwhile to pay attention to the menu of the device itself. It should be simple and intuitive. It is unlikely that an elderly person will get to understand a complex multilevel menu.

And, probably, the most important thing for the elderly is the possibility of an emergency call to their loved ones in case of trouble. This should pay special attention. Best of all, if the phone for retired people will be equipped with a special button for this. If it does not exist, it is advisable to check how the speed dial function works in the selected device.

But today you can not touch all available cell phones. Since the cellular market has been saturated for a long time, naturally, manufacturers began to search for potential buyers not only among young and modern. As a result, a special telephone for pensioners appeared, and not one. The most popular models on the domestic market are Just5 CP09, Fly Ezzy and MTS 268.

All three phones are distinguished not only by the qualities listed above, but also by a number of pleasant bonuses. Among them one can note the presence of a flashlight, built-in radio or MP3-player and some others. The device from MTS, for example, is also equipped with a special stand for charging the battery and a color display.

Since most often children buy their parents a telephone for pensioners, the price does not bother them much. They are more important than other characteristics. But still hardly anyone would like to overpay for a simple mobile phone. True, most "babushkofonov" have very democratic prices: from 1500 to 3000 rubles.
