My blind son has been using this phone for 5yrs without issue. We just replaced the battery, which was very reasonably priced. Great customer service!

My mom has been using the phone for 2 weeks now, and she hasn’t had any problems with it. It’s VERY easy for her to make and receive calls. After she gets used to it, we’ll figure out how to use the missed calls and voicemail feature. The phone asks for a voicemail number when we are setting up voicemail, and we still haven’t figured that out.
It was a *little* complicated for us to set up, but only because it was different and new. After that, it’s very easy to use!
One downside is that the phone does not fit into the charging cradle if you have the included phone case/cover installed on it. It makes it too thick to fit into the cradle, and one of the charging contacts is covered up by the phone case/cover. We have to revert to plugging in the USB-C cable that comes with it. This makes the cradle totally useless.
My mom’s comments are to make the number buttons larger and also make the speaker volume a bit louder.
Other than that, it’s a great phone for the visusally impaired!

Bought for my mother who is visually impaired. She has never had a “smartphone”. Love that the phone talks and you can talk to it to make phone calls. This works well for her. Navigating the menu can be a little challenging by she is catching on. The free 3 months of Affinity is nice but a little spotty for the first week but service has been good since.
