Title: Easy to use and works just as described
Review: This telephone is absolutely perfect for my very elderly dad. The amplification feature works extremely well and the quality of the sound is excellent. It is very easy to program telephone numbers for automatic dialing. My dad now has no problem hearing callers and we have no problem hearing him. With his previous telephone he kept inadvertently pressing buttons on the handset (it was a free portable telephone for the hearing impaired), which wreaked havoc for him and callers. This JaxFone is easy to use and there are no unnecessary buttons to accidentally press. We are all very, very happy with this wonderful telephone. It comes with an easy to understand instruction booklet.

Title: Good quality & easy to use
Review: Only had phone a couple weeks for my mother with hearing aids. Phone works great. Handset has god sound quality & volume control works well. Speaker phone volume is low even turned up all the way, but since handset works good that’s all she uses. Ringer is vary loud & controllable but she needs it up all the way.

Title: Disappointing performances
Review: Reason for the one star….two phones died after power outage. My mother resides in a nursing home. In less then one month there were two incidents where the power went off but right back on. Nursing homes have generators. But in both incidents the phone was zapped and unworkable. Purchased the first phone. She had it for a few weeks. All good until the first outage. Bought another phone and less then a week later similar incident killed the second phone. She now has a simple big button phone which works great, purchases at a big box store, no issues and doesn’t die when there is an outage. Not sure if nursing homes allow surge strips maybe that would have helped.

Title: Simple to use, color w/black letters, ringer is loud, voice they hear is clear and understand
Review: Purchased for my 93 year sister and 98 year brother in law. She has vision problems, hearing problems and so does he. She was misdialing numbers on their old phone and couldn’t hear. I did a lot of research and this phone was simple and the phone being white with black letters made it easy for her to see the numbers. It was a perfect phone for them and she certainly enjoys using.The phone received good ratings. Reviewing all the phones for hearing and sight impaired, this phone was the most simple without a lot of gadgets to confuse and was the BEST choice made for my sis and brother in law.

Title: Second one defective.
Review: I bought one and liked it, although the speaker-phone doesn’t work. I can hear most voices better than on my much more expensive Panasonic phone, though I still have trouble hearing soprano voices (this may also be because of the cheap microphones on the callers’ phones). However, I liked it so much that I bought a second one, and it was a lemon. The ringer/flasher came on as soon as I connected it even though there was no call and I couldn’t get it to stop. I returned it.

Title: Perfect for elderly people
Review: I bought this product for my elderly mother. She was extremely hard of hearing. This phone was perfect for her. I ended up purchasing it twice because she ripped the cord loose from the first one. I would also suggest that it be mounted on the wall if you have space for it. This telephone was the only reason that I could talk on the phone daily for the last year of my mother’s life. It was a great purchase. The ring tone is nice and loud and the buttons are large so my mom could call me too.

Review: Bought for my hard of hearing 86 year old father who I haven’t been able to have a conversation with on the phone in several years. Not only can he clearly hear me on the phone now, I can clearly hear him. Large buttons make it easy for him to dial. I didn’t set up any of the available pre set dial features, just using it as a very basic phone.

Review: Even when I lean my head over the phone and yell slowly into the speakerphone, the person on the other end of the call can only hear a few of the words I say. Sounds similar to a bad Cellphone connection.This phone is easy to use and light weight, with simple and visible buttons. But do NOT buy it for the speakerphone (as I did for my 90 year old mother that has trouble holding a handset. We set it up in her room in the nursing home, and while she can hear the incoming caller very well on the speaker, the built in microphone is obviously terrible. Whoever is on the other end of a speaker phonecall can only hear every 3rd or 4th word. We tested it over and over again. Finally bought a V-Tech Speakerphone for $7 more at a local walmart and can make crystal clear speakerphone calls

Review: I purchased this originally for my mom who is presently 99 years old, and it works great. My cousins were so impressed that they requested I purchase it for their dad who is in his mid 80’s, and they tell me they’re VERY happy with it. Now their dad can hear them when they talk…no more yelling. I only took one star off because although it does what it says, I find that the overall feel / quality of the phone seems a bit cheap for the high price. It’s a VERY light phone and has that “dollar-store” feel to it. Even the box was un-impressive. HOWEVER it does what it says and I’m happy I bought both of them.EDIT May/22: My uncle is presently having trouble hearing with this phone and people sometimes can’t hear him. I’m hoping it’s just the coiled phone cable, and will plan to replace it for him. Not sure if company offers any type of warranty, my guess is not really, but it will be an avenue I will pursue if need be.UPDATE Nov/22: My Uncle’s phone is no longer working good. He says there’s static so he cannot use it. My mom’s phone on the other hand still works fine. These Phones are NOT really worth their pricetag, it’s pretty much a roll of the dice if you get a good one or not. Try and find a better one, but it’s VERY hard.

Review: Purchased this phone for my aging parents, and it didn’t work out as expected. This was partially due to my parents and partially due to the phone. The number buttons were nice and readable; that was great for my mother who has vision problems. However, there are 5 other buttons of the same size and shape with smaller lettering, so the non-numeric buttons were a problem. My mom wanted to use the “auto” button to dial the stored numbers, but had to try to find it by feel. Programming the stored numbers was easy for me to do for her use, however and I appreciated this.The phone is light enough that sometimes it will come along unintentionally with the receiver if you are not careful when you answer the phone. Attaching it to the wall was not possible in our case but would be highly recommended. And when my Mom grabbed the phone to keep it from moving, she would usually push the Speakerphone button, and having it in speakerphone mode confused her totally. Both of my parents never could understand the speakerphone concept, unfortunately. Not the phone’s fault.The sound quality is not great, but quite adequate. Understanding the conversation on either side of the call was not a problem.The listening volume in speakerphone mode seemed to be good when I tested it, but again, my parents never used speakerphone intentionally.The volume when using the handset was good initially, even in the lower volume setting, but after a week, the volume dropped to an unusable level even when the volume was set to the higher setting. (And no, I didn’t confuse it with the ringer volume, which is separate). I believe that this was a phone defect. After the issue started, I even thought there was no dial tone at all because the volume was so low, so it was not going to work for my parents who have worse hearing.And in regards to the ringer volume, the phone caused my mostly deaf parents to jump when it rang (horribly scary on the higher setting, and still quite jarring on the low ringer volume setting). And the ring tone itself is somewhat obnoxious but would likely be fine if the volume could be turned down sufficiently. The ringer speaker is under the phone and I tried putting the phone on a soft pad to absorb the sound but this still didn’t help enough to make it tolerable. The ring volume might be an advantage in some cases, but was a problem for them. It needs an third setting (low low) in my opinion.So I returned the phone as it was frustrating my parents in some regards, and not working at all in others.If the intended recipient wants to use it as a speaker phone, has better vision than my mom if use of the other buttons is desired, and doesn’t mind a very loud ring, it would be a fine phone.
