SOS! I’m struggling to set up Messaging. There are 2 contacts, with messages sent in regular mode. There’s no way to send another message - no keyboard, emoji, anything! Just a text message the no way to do anything with it. Can anyone help?? Thanks!

Potential users should be aware of their return policy. When the policy is canceled you have 21 days to return everything. If any of the four devices are missing they charge $299 per device. So if you don't get everything returned promptly you are out over $1000. Oh ... and when you cancel they don't bother to tell you what address is to send it to, although you can find it in the manual (if you know where that is). (Ours is getting returned promptly.) Those devices can't cost more than twenty or thirty dollars total to make in China. The return policy seems to be designed to take advantage of grieving families who can't find all the devices.

Why to delay?

I have checked all the settings in "Calls" - "All Contacts" is checked however several of the contacts go straight to voicemail every time they call the senior. I have also updated the software and rebooted the iphone 13. any thoughts?

Greyhounds are VERY hyper, and they have claustrophobia issues, so they aren't good for crate training. They NEED to run, so you need to be able to run with them or take them to the dog park daily. Let's be truthful.

Why, why, why, why, WHY, no matter where I go, I can't see what the browser looks like on this phone? Are you hiding something? Doesn't it work? I look on Amazon, I look on Lively, I look here. No. Only the menu, texting, and photos. Is there something wrong with the internet interface?

Years ago, before this feature, I did the following for a Senior using an iPhone: - with their knowledge, I added my phone number as a contact with whom they share their location. If I know where their phone is, they themselves aren’t too far away - Put the iPhone in what I call wiggle mode, where all the icons wiggle. - on the main screen, I swiped every icon to the second, third, fourth, etc screen except two: Phone Contacts - The icons on the very bottom are also swipable into a different screen - My Senior knows to only interact with the main screen, which allows them to only make phone calls to people in their contacts - on the second screen, only those icons that are “the next level of difficulty to use” are present. When I’m with my senior, we interact with those apps until they are very very comfortable with how they work, the gestures, etc - when the senior has demonstrated the ability to use an app, that app is “promoted” to the first screen, second screen, etc Recently, the Photos app has been promoted to the main screen. When visiting my senior, I’ll text photos and videos of interest to that phone, then save them into the Photos app. The Senior isn’t capable of using a keyboard for conversing via text, so I need to move the texting icon off screen one and two This change shown in your video in the new iOS by Apple is a good start, but I’d suggest the following additions: - The only incoming calls that are sent to a Senior-enabled setting are from phone numbers in their contacts. An incoming call from any other phone number triggers two events: 1) the call is sent to voicemail 2) a message is sent to an advocate for the senior. That advocate will additionally be given the ability to retrieve and listen to the voicemail and contact the Senior after the voicemail has been vetted for scam attempts, etc

I still use landline from spectrum because i dont believe in just relying on a cell phone especially for emergencys

I love Helps there great they explain everything that you want to know thanks Helps❤️

You have so much great info i really appreciate it

please talk faster for us old people

It's a nice phone. I wish there was a way to delete all messages at once. I am bombarded with spam messages and it takes a lot of time deleting them one at a time.

I pay $15 a month for my phone and thats in Canada, stop paying high $ for your phone, you don't need it

Lame!

They push apple smartwatches over Samsung's. Google Fi permits the use of a Samsung LTE-equipped watch for, get this, _no additional charge_ . Currently have both services. I did this as a tryout coming from Xfinity Mobile. By next year at this time I'll have switched two lines over to Google Fi.

Great video

I was scared when you actually took the call, but that was actually handled really well.

I've learned nothing 😂 Guess i gotta watch the real review

I have great call and the response is a lot quicker, cheaper. I’ll stick with what I have.

can this stay on forever?

I'm depressed suicidal i really don't care if die in early age

EllieQ is wonderful, she is my special friend, she calls me Peanut...I would highly recommend her for lonely seniors, I have recommended her to friends....

Is this a joke? Right off the bat, who would put three buttons on one side of a phone intended for seniors? Seriously, that's just the beginning of a long list of things that should have received a little more thought. That is, if this was actually intended to be used by seniors and I'm not convinced it is.

WHY? Why did you start saying "Hey google" I was watching this video with my mom and it started making her upset with her google devices responding and now she doesn't want to watch this video or try using her phone i just bought her. 😠

Another reason would be your security system, if connected to a landline, can thwart a wifi-jammer, in case of camera feeds or reporting a break-in to a security company without outside interference to the line itself.

TMobile scammed me out of $65. unlimited plan in which I hardly have any internet whatsoever. It’s a scam plain n simple they scammed a homeless / deaf person out of $65 & will not give me the service that I have paid for

I’m not on TikTok; it’s a waste of time. What I do for my mom, even though it might not matter, is add notes to her phone with videos. I hope she’ll start figuring things out. I want to explore the video content and settings to see if it’s a good fit for her. She watches too much TV, especially ‘Family Feud,’ and I’d prefer she spend time on more productive activities.” 😊

My dad has trouble plugging in the charging cable and his phone doesn't do wireless charging.I'd 100% buy that kind of charger for him.

6:29 you said so you - you guys don’t I’m on Sutton street, but I - but I am on Sutton street. You should replace the line so you - you guys don’t know I’m on Sutton street, but I - but I am on Sutton street with so you guys don’t know I’m on Sutton street, but I am on Sutton street

What about Garmin Venu 3 or the latest Galaxy 7 Watch?

Golden agers

Is it possible to buy and use this special mobile phone in Europe?

I switched from a flip To the Smart 4 both Jitterbug. I called to start and was told all info would be moved over in about 30 mins. didn't happen. I cant even get started to use. I'm 82 and having a rough time getting anything to work. where do I get help ?

Will the phone automatically hang up after a certain amount of time? My dad would forget to having up.

Can I disable the 911 button?

Great video! Thanks!

Apparently there are Wi-Fi and cellphone jammers… at least the Wi-Fi jammers are a grower trend among robbers. So landlines are looking good.

so your telling me healthcares Been universalized since I talked to Glenn at Wal mart eyecare ? Today ,Cause it hasn’t , sir what do you for a living and why ? 😊

So it has wifi which means anytime you're at home you have the internet.

From the main menu, how do you delete message indicators from the top line: Phone. Nothing, absolutely nothing, makes these numbers go away. Should have a DELETE key!

So my question is, you can't download wats app on this phone?

My 88 year old mother, who can't see well, just got an iPhone. She's having all kinds of trouble learning it. We've taught her how to just let Siri make calls and answer them, and the same with text messages. This AA screen will be great for her, but there's no mention on whether Siri will still work in the AA mode. Please say it will!

They need to make petite watches for smaller women

How does an iWatch user stay monitored while their iWatch is charging for 1 to 1.5 hours? Buy 2 so they always have one on them while the other is charging? Or just hope nothing happens during that short window of time while their device is charging and also hope they remember to put it back on once charged.

Yeah right. My dad would be pressing the emergency 911 button when he had to use the bathroom. No go, too accessible. He would also forget to hang up. Sigh....

My 71 year old grandpa has an iPhone he doesn’t use and I pay the bills. This is helpful, thank you so much

Can you tell me more about the Real Time Text (RTT) or live captions during phone calls

Hi, from Cranston. I bought this phone because it was $49. I have had smart phones but I basically need to make and receive calls.I got a Consumer Cellular plan for 50 bucks - 2 lines unlimited everything.So as a pensioner it works for me and the wife who has a smartphone. The info here is invaluable so thanks!

I just bought a pair of Autiphon UO1 for my granny. Hope they work. They were less than $200. It's insane how expensive it is to have senses....

I pat 1600.
