The only phone I have been able to really see with. The time and dialing numbers etc.
Very small and easy to put in my pocket. So far I have been very happy with it.

Minivision 2 is a great product. It has given Mom new piece of mind now that she can contact anyone she needs to just buy speaking their name. Voice recognition is spot on. Phone was everything it claims to be and a real blessing to Mom. The 3 free months of service is great too.

The phone works well enough and the features are very basic but work well. I am the sighted helper to the user. The issue is that the direction manual is both hard to follow and confusing. We find some directions that do not work, directions that are not listed in the section on the table of contents and directions that are completely missing. This user manual should be very detailed and it is not. The slippy rubber case is nice but must be removed to use charging cradle- this should not be required. No other phone case requires removal to charge. There are no other cases on the secondary market. The only feature we cannot find is to have a “Do Not Disturb” that can be scheduled like most every other phone. The greatest benefit is that we can use this on the ATT network which was not an option for the last 3 phones we tried for someone who is newly blind.

My husband is still getting use to the phone but he seems to like it ……still learning the voice commands. It is a good phone for the visually impaired!!!!!

I really like my Mini Vision. One problem I am having is trying to send a text. The instructions are certainly not very clear. I will get it sooner or later. I just wish the instructions were better. I’m 88 yrs old and I need things really spelled out for me.

I got this for my dad and so far so good. Wish the home button was a little bigger.

I really love my MiniVision2! I wanted a basic phone with keypad to keep in touch with family and friends and to take care of simple banking details. I find the apps intuitive and simple to use. Taking time to read the manual or listen to the online tutorials will speed up getting acquainted with the phone and the various functions. I had to purchase another MiniVision2 for my wife as she would not let my phone go! Although this is not a smart phone, it meets all my needs–I recommend the MiniVision2, highly!

My son is legally blind and has been using a basic flip phone with one number dialing for years and had expressed interest in wanting to be able to text with his friends but, especially, with his nephew and niece. Mission accomplished! He is thrilled!
