Mobile phones For Seniors - Tips on Finding a Cell phone Model For Grandma
Once we mature, the characteristics we desire in a cell phone may change. A number of mobile phone providers are looking at ways to make cell phones more "senior-friendly". Previously we may have been thinking about the most recent ringtone, however, now we may want a cell phone that's easier to hear. We might need a larger keypad and display screen for easier input and viewing of phone numbers and data. Some could search for a mobile phone that is much more comfortable to handle, possibly larger in size.
I recently came across the new Jitterbug J which has a slimmer and lighter design than previous models. It comes equipped with Bluetooth that allows the use of wireless headsets. One feature that will attract everyone is the battery that claims a 30% long life than previous models. Standard features incorporate a panic button providing you with one-touch emergency dialing to a neighbor or caregiver. As present in most mobile phones, additionally, it provides a gps (GPS) that could become invaluable should a senior get lost or become unreachable by phone. The 24/7 call-in feature to a nurse has shown to be a lifesaver for many users.
Additionally, users may subscribe to an entire Care package offering roadside assistance and free replacement of lost or damaged phones. This particular service has been very helpful to my grandmother who always appears to be misplacing her phone.
After you have decided on your new wireless phone and all its snazzy features, take a look at the local school and public agencies for more assistance. Many organizations have started offering classes to assist seniors make the most of their mobile phone by familiarizing them with the many features offered such as texting, voice mail and calendar functions.
As we purchased her new cell phone model, we then had to find an smart way for my grandmother to hold her high-tech mobile phone. We found a distinctive, stylish mobile phone cover in the shape of a lovely pink ladybug that provides protection for her phone while offering a fun and easy method to carry it. Now when she drops her phone, as she does quite frequently, it simply bounces! The plush cell phone accessory came with a durable key clip that allows her to simply attach the telephone to her purse then when it rings she is not fumbling around to locate it.
