Great for a Senior, less so for the Elderly
By J. Norvell
The SnapFon ezONE-C Senior cell phone is about as simple as the standard model cell phones that you used to buy ten years ago. It is NOT as simple as a landline phone and that made the phone perplexing to the 91 year old woman that I got this for. It is smaller and lighter than I thought it would be, but that could be a plus or minus. The buttons are about the same as a cheap calculator; they are large but you need to press in the center. It has a radio function and a flashlight, which may delight a less elderly person, but I taped over the side switches that operate those with gaffers tape so that they wouldn't confuse. The display is large and clear.The phone works with an AT&T SIM card. I bought a SIM card on Amazon, but, as it turns out, you must actually buy one from AT&T anyway or they won't process you to get on their network. The purchased SIM card did allow me to get the phone going earlier however, although it did take repeated phone calls to AT&T and most of an afternoon to get the phone set up. The phone comes with a SIM card from "PureTalk", a reseller of cell phone time, and I presume that setting up with them would be easier.The advantage of a cell phone is that any landline number can be transferred to it. My phone user was being moved into an assisted living facility, just far enough away that she couldn't get a landline with the same number without keeping the old landline and buying a forwarding service -- sheesh. The port to the cell phone went well, but, again, it did take some time on the line with AT&T folks. I just added her to our family plan and she is saving a lot of money, although you do need to absorb the cost of the phone, the SIM card, and a $40 fee for the new service. She no longer needs the landline at her old home.My elderly user is perplexed that she needs to press down for a period of time to autodial, but she only presses for a short time to hang up. As a result, she keeps turning the phone off, since the "hang up" button is also the power on and off button. For seniors that are used to using cell phones previously, this may not be a problem. For a life-long landline user, this is a problem.

easy to use phone
By Melissa Z Schilke
I bought this phone for a developmentaly disabled person. Great, simple to use, phone. When I brought it into T-Mobile to get a simcard for it, the staff passed it around commented on how easy it was to understand how to use. The numbers on this phone are really big. The SOS button on the back is a great feature that can be programed to dial 911 and send Text to additional phone number.

simple phone for simple people
By A. S. Lynch
Despite this phone's marketing to our beloved and often forgotten senior citizens, as a twenty-something I was interested in buying this phone for it's advertised simple functionality (it's not a camera, an iPod, or a Gameboy; it's a phone). Most of the phones sold with pay-as-you-go plans are often the trashiest models with poor craftsmanship and half-working so-called "features", making it hard to find a good simple phone that just makes calls, sends and receives texts, has a recent call list and address book. The Snapfon is that hard-to-find gem of simplicity. Although it's not perfect, it's been my favorite of all the "non-smart" phones I've owned (which have included several Nokia and Motorola models, and even the Razr).Here are my favorite aspects:+Unlocked phone worked instantly with my T-mobile pay-as-you-go chip. No stupid unlock codes.+Battery life is long.+Screen lights up even in locked mode to illuminate the time.+LED flashlight works well.+Big buttons are nice to use.+Much lighter than your average brick phone.Here's what was keeping it from being a 5-star review:-Menu flow is too linear, making some actions seemingly dead ends. Cancel and delete both share the PWR/NO button, making some parts of the navigation dead-ends.-There's no way to do actions like browsing through the menus or turning on the phone silently while still having it in vibrate mode for calls or texts. Switching the phone to "silent mode" turns off all types of alerts and noises, including vibrate.-There's no free preview of text messages. Most other phones I've used let you preview the text message from the inbox which made it possible to read short messages without actually opening them. For using Google Voice text messaging, knowing who sent a text message is only possible by opening the message to see the header, which is a drag.-I can't figure out how to delete an unread text message. The option to delete only seems to be accessible after opening a text message, but which fortunately allows you to clear the entire inbox while deleting the one being read. Feature needs tweaking.-It's nice that the buttons are nice and big, but they seem to get pressed easily in the pocket. Hopefully the SOS button won't accidentally get pressed.-You have to directly enter a contact in the address book rather than typing in a number on the front screen and saving it, adding a name later.-While less features isn't necessarily bad, it's a little too expensive for how little it does.-FM radio really necessary? Whatever.Features wished for::? An alarm feature.:? USB connection to transfer contacts from computer address book (and maybe custom ring tones, but low priority).:? Bluetooth hands-free set compatibility.Bottom line: Pretty satisfied so far, despite phone's short-comings. More how simple phones should be.edit: Apparently my point about the chirps and noises while in vibrate mode or silent mode wasn't very clear, because got a personal call from ezONE telling me how to set the phone to vibrate. To be clear, the phone has a vibrate mode, but the buttons still chirp when you press them.
