I bought this phone for my parents (80 and 81). It has large buttons and is quite easy to use for the generation that still can not understand why one needs a permanently phone itself, while we merely public telephone booth before and that a phone card is also handy. Short. Only possible criticism: This phone comes from England who apparently has a very alert system develops automatic transmission of all important data (social security number, doctor, address, allergies and medical history ...) of the person to emergency services via a single button on the back. I wish that we have the same thing in France. It would be reassuring.
