Absolutely brilliant. This should be an app that I can install on any phone.

loved the idea... bought one for my mother with dementia... i wanted to only put my name in.. so she had only one contact. She was calling people at all hours with her other phone.... so by adding just one (me) contact, the emergency/911 button is huge... she called 911 six times one day .I could not make the emergency button smaller or hide it somewhere. Was told it had to be on there for legal reasons. I am all for it being on the front screen but no options to make it less easy to touch was aggravating. now it's 70 days later and a return is not an option..... which i understand as well.... expensive and now unuseable... putting in on FB marketplace soon and hoping to get some of what we paid out of it..... disappointed but is probably a good choice for others

Other reviews on other videos said the same thing. To me, the emergency button looks way too similar to the button for hanging up a call.

I love the idea of this for my Dad with Alzheimer's but I'm extremely concerned that he's going to end up calling 911 a lot as a result of the bright red button. He has low vision and will actually be attracted to the red color and I can fairly assume he'll go for that button above all else when confused (he mistakenly 'declines' calls all the time this way on his current phone, because he goes for the red button first). I understand it can't be turned off or hidden. Any other ideas? Is it possible to cover the button with black electrical tape maybe? The phone would be perfect if it wasn't for that.

Thanks for telling us how much it costs! Nothing more aggravating than people that add posts that are liyyle more than advertisements about products than keep the price secret. . I bought one. So far I like it but I have had to contact support four times to fix issues that keep poping up. Nothing major but annoying when it keeps acting up.

Thanks for this video…super helpful! Do you happen to know if I use this with my Verizon plan…does it count as a smart phone? Also can it be used if my loved one doesn’t have any WiFi or internet? I understand there’s not apps and such…but wasn’t sure if it was only using cellular data? Thanks for your time and for sharing!

Every time someone tries a video call with my very elderly mother, she keeps switching between holding the phone up to her ear and looking at it. We've tried video calls because she has hearing issues and reads lips. Obviously, that didn't work so well when she kept moving the phone to her ear when we'd talk. ;) I do wonder about the emergency button. Elderly fingers frequently have a slight tremor and I can see that getting hit really easily.

I am looking for a phone that only allows incoming calls that are on the contact list. Is this a function of the phone?

@Skridles 4 ай бұрын

For visually impaired, it seems silly to have the "hang up" button look so similar to the "Emergency 911" button. They could at least make it a different color.

For cooking, for washing clothes, for cleaning the house, what are the equipment that can be used to tell by speaking. Please search for such devices as much as possible and make videos bringing them in front of everyone so that we can know. At present, what facilities are being provided to the speaking blind people on an immediate basis.

I use my amazon echo dot with alexa wwhich is paired up to my amazon smart oven and cosori dual blaze air frier. so use my voice to turn them on to cook. plus I have bump dots on the buttons as well. so if the wifi a is acting up , I can still using them manually.

you can control on the caregiver app if senior keeps calling 911.. you get notified so gives possible chance to call and cancel but I read there is a call center before call goes through to 911 center in the event of misuse. raz website goes over it all

@joanndaprile9076 10 ай бұрын

This is good, but it's a little too simple for someone just having a bit of cognitive impairment. Especially when the other end of the spectrum you have a phone so complicated that even an experienced user has a hard time figuring out where things are or what to do. They need to make a phone that is NOT a touch screen for someone with MCI and who is also basically blind. Feeling the keys is very important for someone with very limited vision that is mainly peripheral vision from AMD. However, they is no such phone out there, yet

This is completely off topic, but at some point there was a backpack promoted on this channel that had a light and a Bluetooth speaker. Can someone find the link to that video or just a link to the website for the product?
