NEW MODEL V99 Seniorenhandy Großtastenhandy SOS Alarm System - SMS LED MP3 Black Avcibase (Electronics)

Customer Review

The phone is not bad from the basic idea, however, has a few quirks that considered in the medium term but then already be problematic.
I do not know whether this is due to that there is a faulty device has been shipped. This is according to the product title here on Amazon and phone cover to the Senior Phone V99. However, the manual that came with is, for the "Anycool Enjoy W02". It is in the imaged cell phone but to the "V99"!

//////////// The unit is solid and has given the sheer oversupply of fancy smartphones naturally somewhat "antique". However, the acquisition is more reason of that in an emergency and emergency family can be notified to, without having to dig around long in some menus. This is definitely possible. The SOS button on the back calls in succession (!) 4 pre-defined numbers, or stop this process once a number is reached (including voice mail, mailbox, etc. counts as a successful call! Caution!).
These sounds a shrill, extremely annoying signal to accompany the emergency again acoustically. Hearing guaranteed.

Problem: Neither can the audible signal before that you can adjust the volume. Only after canceling a beep will begin the selection process ... this must first understand Grandma.

The description on the internet and also because phone itself asserts when pressing the SOS button a text message to the first of 4 predefined numbers should be discontinued. But it does not.
Also the SOS button is supposed to select the 112 if out of credit or home network is available. Do not do it.

//////////// Regardless of the SOS button, the principle indeed giving good service (even when the keypad is locked), the phone is otherwise suitable for seniors and therefore ok. Keys are large and legible, the display also, the keypad lock is a button on the phone, so easy to use site. The functionality corresponds to a cell phone in 1996, which is sufficient to completely out of people to call, to be called up in an emergency and to reach someone quickly.

It can be (with a lot of fumbling, because the manual was missing!) To adjust various things like:
- Read out the numbers at call (you should stop, annoying!)
- Adoption of a telephone conversation with * any * key (so no matter what you press, you would pick up)
- Hearing (I think this should be a kind of hearing aid headset ran and everything is a bit noisy ... Why not..)
- Automatic switching on and off according to time

Since I could not fault it in terms of the basic functionality of the phone, I'll keep it and give anyone who is a little older.
However, I'm now looking for an alternative, when the SOS button can be set and the right to change the radio Lions extent.
