I purchased this phone as a present for my elderly father who can not hear well on a standard cellular telephone. It works GREAT. Not only can he hear it ring, hear the person on the other end, but you hear him clearer than you hear someone talking on a standard cell phone! It has large buttons that are easy for him to press. The only drawback is lack of features. If you want just a basic telephone for an older person with hearing and site issues, with not many bells and whistles, this one is perfect.

Bought for my mother-in-law who has macular degeneration. Using on Att network. She loves it. Volume Great. Reception very good. Battery life OK. Menus are a little screwy, but what do you expect with something this simple. Reading and writing texts a little difficult, but I would be amazed if she ever used it for that.

I'm not much of a phone guy, and especially with these recent cell phones that are expensive to buy and expensive to operate...and have all those bells and whistles that i'll never use. All a waste of money for me.But now I'm getting up in age and I decided I should have some sort of wireless emergency notification device that I could carry around with me...just in case. I think there are some companies that sell a device you hang around your neck with an emergency button on it. I'm not sure how it all works but I assume there's a monthly charge for the priviledge of pressing this button....Nahhhh. not for me.Then I saw the "Just5" Cell Phone on Amazon and it looked rather interesting. Basically a simple cell phone with no gimmicks (camera, internet, games, etc.) It was quite small, had large numbers on the keys, and a nickel sized (big) orange button on the back of the phone that could be programmed to dial 5 phone numbers in succession.(the "SOS Button" must be held for about 5 seconds before anything happens). If no one answered the first number, it would automatically move on to the second number and dial it...and so on. If no one answered any of the 5 numbers it would then jump to Emergency 911 and dial it. A very nice feature and just what I was looking for. There are some other minor emergency features too but I won't get into them here. Plus now I had a "walkabout" phone too.I bought a refurbished phone from one of Amazons top rated vendors for a very low price (less than $30.00) and it was sitting in my mailbox in a few days. It was packed in a nice little "Just5" gift box with all the accessories, a separately packaged battery, a wall charger and an instruction manual. If it was reburbished, I couldn't tell..everything looked brand new (and packed like new) to me. I slipped in the SIM card (see below) and the battery after easily snapping off the back cover panel (it snapped back on just as easily). I charged up the phone and it was now ready for ACTIVATION.Now this phone is "UNLOCKED" which means you are NOT "tied in" to any specific phone carrier. You can pick and choose. You can buy a SIM card which slips into the phone, under the battery. You must ACTIVATE the SIM card however before the phone will work. I bought a T-MOBILE Sim card at Amazon for about $6.00 with about $3.00 worth of free minutes (half hour talk time)on it. Then you must call T-Mobile (on another phone obviously) and go through a TEDIOUS (to me) activation routine. I finally got a "Real Person" after struggling to talk to a computer and gave them all the required information and got my new phone number.I went on their "Pay As You Go" (Prepaid) plan. $100.00 for 1000 minutes for one year. And you can always buy more minutes if needed. Since I'm not a big phone "rag chewer", this will suit me just fine.(So for $8.33 a moth, I get 1.4 hours (83 minutes) of talk time per month...Plenty for me. And there are oodles of other plans, just pick the one that best suits you. No contracts, no credit checks, etc. But for long "rag chews" I'll stay with my "land line".What's not to like on the this cell phone? The Menu Setup. Trying to read the manual and follow the Menu Instructions left me literally "crosseyed".If you are giving this phone to a non-tech older person, they will not...I repeat....they will NOT be able to set the phone up properly. Trying to follow the instructions and press the right button is definitely user-UNfriendly.They will absolutely need HELP.But once it is set up it'll work just fine for a non techie.
