Doro PhoneEasy 100W DECT Cordless Phone with Amplified Sound and Big Buttons, NO Answerphone (Single Set/White) [UK and Irish Version]

Mother is 85 years old, she absolutely loves these new phones, I’d personally say they’re really are good value for money plus my old mum can use these phones with ease, nothing complicated about them at all. Nice and bright so she can see where she’d put them. She loves the fact she’s able to turn her volume up so she’s able to hear so much more. Yes really happy. Thanks.

I liked how I can see the numbers and signs on the phone but on the screen bit was not so good because the letters were in a way where you could not work them out very well. Very thin. Otherwise a good phone.

I ordered this phone for my elderly Godmother, she finds it easy to use and informs me that she's very pleased with it. The buttons are nice and big... easy to set up for her. I recommend it.

The item is fine, a little hard to program and only holding 20 numbers is limiting. The biggest problem was, that despite this claiming to be a UK and Irish version, the instruction manual was in Scandinavian. I did find the English pdf version online but at 40 pages long its too much to print up and leave with my elderly father who the phone is for. He likes to be independent so this is quite an issue for him. Also the bank is not recognising his voice for security, so this is causing a further problem for him. The hearing and speaking qualities seem good to us but the bank is saying there is background noise; just something to be aware of if you do buy this product.

Bought these for my elderly parents who both have hearing issues and one is visually impaired. Very impressed. The sound is loud and clear. There's a boost button on the handset but my parents haven't needed to use it. The auto answer is very handy as calls are answered when the handset is lifted. The M1 and M2 buttons are an excellent feature. Programme in 2 numbers, then just press those buttons to ring them. Very simple. Nice big buttons which are easy to see. Parents are very happy.

ok

Very pleased with product & quality

I bought this to use wirelessly direct to my BT HUb2. It claims to be a DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecoms) phone that is GAP (generic access profile) compatible. Despite this being stated in the manual (p21) no instructions are available for making this work, and though I unplugged the base to avoid a clash, and pressed the WPS pairing button on the hub, I could not get it to work, and gave up. I ordered a BT Essential handset, which came with a simple charging base (no phone line connection or wireless transceiver) and was able to get this going in minutes without even referring to the (much simpler) instruction sheet. Also found that the BT phone has a quick hands-free facility that is quite loud. Many people do not realise that once your landline has 'gone digital' (though it is often still 'copper' not full fibre) then the logical new way to do things is simply to pair the phone handsets with the BT Hub2 which already has built into it the ability to transmit and receive from up to 5 DECT GAP phones; no other base station needed and no wiring throughout the house! The range is quoted as 300m outdoors or 50m indoors depending on any walls in the way. GAP operates on 1900MHz, separately from the WiFi which is also included in the BT Hub2. What's more, you can use two handsets simultaneously for either outgoing or incoming calls, and you can call any handset of the five from any other one; a useful intercom facility if, like me, you have outbuildings such as an office in your garden. My advice is to forget about connecting old phones using the socket on the back of the hub. Just get the BT Essentials - it's audio and display are clear enough, and it seems hard to find other phones that truly work as they should direct to the hub wirelessly.
