Reviews

My mum is getting on really well with the new phone. She can answer all the time and can even phone on the odd occasion. It's made a massive positive impact as she can now stay in contact with family at all times. It also makes her feel good about herself as she can now work a phone.

It makes my husband more independent. He's always worried if I go out for an hour or so but now I can phone him or he can phone me.
