Doro 8100 Watch Bundle - Unlocked 4G Smartphone Seniors - Triple Camera - Water-resistant - 6.1" Display - Assistance Button with GPS - Smart Watch Seniors - Fitness Watch - Activity Tracker

A smart phone. Good quality and made by reputed company

My husband had the Doro flip phone because it was simple for him to use. He wanted to learn how to use a smart phone and I bought him the Doro 8100.. It is so easy to use and his confidence has grown the more he has used it, I would definitely recommend the mobile phone for senior people, it has great features on it.

As far as my limited experience goes, I will say that this seems to be capable of doing everything that much more expensive models can do, it is relatively easy to use but obviously needs to be learnt over time due to its many capabilities. Really don't get why it is themed 'for seniors' because it is a perfect device for the needs of any age group and at an amazing price!

My sister & I bought this phone for our 85 year old Dad. It's the updated model of his old one & he loves it! Easy to use & good photos.

I think I saw another reviewer that said that their mother was just too old for this: mine is too. She is 94. She’s always been tech savvy and still emails, but she’s really struggling now. Apart from her inability, I’ve got two complaints against the product: I haven’t found a way to switch off the predictive text on the Google keyboard, which means that my mother sends garbled texts: she can’t lift her finger off the keys fast so the predictive text just cycles through until she lifts her finger off. The keyboard is also very small. The second thing is that she’s heavily dependent on the assistance button, and this stops working every time there’s some kind of system upgrade, which upsets her enormously. Ideally, a phone for her would just be calls, texting, and the assistance button. The rest is just confusion.

Easy to use and reliable

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE - PARTICULARLY FOR ELDERLY OR VULNERABLE PERSONS.Bought this for an elderly relative particularly because it has the 'alert' function, so if the owner has a fall or gets lost, they can press a button and be directed through to their pre-arranged contact. However, the button (which needs to be pressed three times in a succession) is too sensitive and has gone off several times by accident causing a blaring loud alarm at both the owner end and on the phone of the agreed contact. It has gone off when just being picked up for use and also when being carried in a case. Relative got so upset by setting alarm off accidentally so many times that we have had to disable the function - negating the point of getting the phone in the first place.As a couple of other reviews have stated, the connection on the SIM card and SD card is terrible. I've bought three different SD cards for the phone now and none of them are 'recognised'. The SIM card itself slips frequently and loses signal leaving my relative unable to make or receive phone calls or texts... until I travel back there (40 miles) and reinsert the MICRO SIM into the TINY, FLIMSY tray with no idea how long it will stay connected.The battery drains in less than a day and charging is slow. The phone and charger also get VERY hot when charging so be careful. Audio notifications on various apps and messages are erratic.Basically, the whole reason I bought this phone was because it was recommended for elderly people / people with arthritic hands,and it had the safety alert. The phone has actually proven to be more dangerous than a dirt-cheap phone because my relative has been left so many times with no signal and been unable to contact anyone, has no working SIM card, and gets scared half to death whenever the blaring safety alert goes off randomly.Really annoyed because having forked out £200+ for the phone, SIM cards and case, DORO wouldn't deal with me and fobbed me off back to Amazon...and Amazon wouldn't refund until they had received the returned phone. I explained that unless they would refund me so I could BUY A NEW PHONE I'd have to take the phone from my relative, wipe the data, send it back and this would leave my elderly and vulnerable relative without any lifeline at all for the duration of the entire return and reorder period. However, they didn't care and said I had to return it and then buy a new one when they approved the return. They obviously assume I just have another few hundred quid ready and waiting to buy someone a new phone. Thanks, Amazon - I mean you're only the richest company in the world.

The item arrived and it was exactly as it was described i will recommend it any day
