Title: Good choice for Mom!
Review: Purchased along with the VTech SN5307 Amplified Photo DIAL Accessory Handset.Mom was really struggling with her old Panasonic wireless phones. Buttons were to small, screen hard to read…etc. etc.These seemed like an interesting alternative. Mom couldn’t be happier! The picture dual buttons seem a little gimmicky, but they really make using the phone much easier. Simply print some pictures of family, add a Name and insert them into the frames. Then just program the numbers/names and you’re ready to go!It’s a little annoying that the pictures aren’t the same size, buts that’s a pretty minor thing.One good tip, keep the names you program into the memory simple – once programmed the caller ID will say the name. User will here “Call from Bob” for example and they can easily decide if they want to answer or not.The accessory handset will have the same four numbers programmed as picture dial on the main phone. You can’t dial any other numbers from the accessory handset, but you can answer any incoming calls.Yes, the handsets are both battery hogs, if you leave them off the charger overnight they will low the next morning. Just keep them in the charger and they will be ready when you need them.The voice caller ID is great, if you don’t here someone you recognize, just don’t answer.The speaker phone on the the base, main handset and accessory handset are all pretty good and the range is great.Overall a great choice for anyone who only needs a few programmed contacts, has trouble pushing little buttons and just wants something simple.The instructions are pretty well written and easy to follow.Definitely recommend!

Title: Perfect for my 91 year old Mom
Review: The Ringer is loud enough for my 91 year old Mother to hear when she is not wearing her hearing aids. She also likes the larger display and the larger number buttons. She likes the answering machine and especially likes that she can listen to her messages from any of her handsets. The reception is perfect, no noise and even works well when she’s outside. She refuses to own a cell phone, so she carries the handset with her all day and it will stay charged. She lives on her own and I am very grateful and proud of her.

Title: Great phone with a few issues
Review: A great phone so far but with a few changes would be even better. Easy to set up but takes a while to program numbers into Phonebook and Photo buttons. Does ring loud enough.1. Need the ability to disable the ‘Block call’ button on phone and hand set. I thought this would be a great phone for my elderly parents with dementia but the first call I made to them, my Mom accidentally blocked my number by hitting the block call button. No instructions on how to unblock phone numbers but I did figure out a way around by changing the unblocked phone number in Blocked calls. I really like the Smart Block feature which only allows calls through from numbers in her ‘Phonebook’. Mom was getting each day so many Medicare, Warranty, and other scam calls.2. Not a show-stopper but the ability to record names in your own voice within the Phonebook would be great. The automated pronunciation of the typed name doesn’t exactly pronounce who’s calling clear enough. Do love the feature of announcing the caller.3. I programmed the phone to ring 6 times before going to the answering machine but still only rings 4 times. I may just end of turning off the answering machine since not sure if my parents can figure out how to reviewing the messages anyways.4. Photo buttons need to be larger. My parents do not make calls except via the photo buttons and have a little trouble seeing the faces. I had to make a list for them of who each photo button was. They really do not dial phone numbers any longer.

Title: Elderly Parent and Safety
Review: This phone rings louds. Since mom is hard of hearing and has dementia we needed to get her something that she should hear n see the flashing red light that also screened out those annoying scammers. I was able to program the phone to where only 8 people are on her allowed call list and the scammer calls are blocked. The allowed list feature is really cool because it announces who is calling so mom knows that ie “Maryann” is calling. The phone programming did take some understanding to get to the allowed list but once I git it figured out – LOVE IT!

Review: This system is good for everyone, even those who are not tech savy as once it’s programmed, you can ignore all the bells and whistles and just use the SOS system and/or the handset & base like an ordinary cordless phone.I purchased this in conjunction with two SN7022 Pendants. It’s only been a day and hasn’t been in an actual use for an emergency but here are the highlights & pros:- Can pair multiple pendants to the phone.- When the pendant is triggered, the base will beep very loudly for 20 seconds so that you know you have triggered the SOS before it starts dialling your contacts. It’s actually quite alarming but good for the hard of hearing.- For accidental triggers, there’s a cancel button on the back of the pendant.- The pendant is big but light.- Can program up to 5 SOS contacts, the system will call in the order you have programmed it.- If the 1st contact doesn’t pick-up it will then dial the 2nd contact, if they don’t pick-up it will dial the 3rd contact and so forth. If it goes to voicemail, it will continue to dial the next contact as the receiver of the call must push a button on their phone to confirm receipt of the SOS.- When a contact receives a SOS call, it will start with an automated message saying that it’s an emergency and then prompt them to push a button. If they don’t push a button or hang up it will continue dialling the next contacts. You can customize the message. If the receiver has call display, it will only show your name as usual.- If your contact confirms the SOS call, the contact by default will be connected to the base speaker phone – handset can be used too. If the person in need cannot speak, the contact can still reassure them that they have received the call, that they’re on the way and the estimated time of arrival. The speaker phone is quite loud so if you’re in a single floor unit, you should be able to hear the speaker phone from any room.- Great system for those who may need somewhat urgent assistance but not full on emergency/ambulance services.- Since it’s a landline system, there are no additional subscription costs associated. This also means if the power goes out, the SOS system will continue to work (unlike other systems that rely on wifi).- This phone has many functions, there are many bells and whistles but you can ignore them. The handset can be used like a simple regular cordless phone, can program up to 4 speed dials (they are separate from the auto SOS calls). All you need to know are who’s numbers are saved to the speed dial buttons (we programmed the 4 speed dial buttons in birth order so it’s easy to remember.)- There are also 4 speed dial buttons on the base where you can attach a picture. The buttons are big and easy to push.- When dialling out, the phone will announce the number that was just pushed, could be handy for those who have impaired vision but it otherwise slows down dialling out. This will also happen for numbers saved in speed dial.Cons:- The pendant is only used to trigger the SOS, it cannot be used to communicate.- Had issues pairing the system together, especially the 2nd pendant but everything eventually worked.- No low battery indicator on the pendant.- It feels like cheap quality.I would not hesitate to buy this again for other family members, I would test the system maybe once a month to ensure it’s still working.

Review: Lo compré para mi mamá (adulto mayor) y le ha funcionado de maravilla. Tiene el teclado grande, audio graduable; incluso cuenta con un ecualizador para acentuar los graves y medios lo cual ayuda mucho para sus problemas de oído. La pila tiene buena duración. El altavoz de la base del auricular es muy útil para responder las llamadas en otra habitación. Estamos muy satisfechos con el aparato.
