Cell Phones that Seniors Flip For
For Immediate Release – November 30, 2011
Denver, Colorado
The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released an article that discusses the way cell phone manufacturers are specifically catering to the needs of seniors. Any senior will need some level of assistance such as adapted mobile phone features to make up for their compromised senses. Display and key size along with the volume of both the ringer and the ear piece are features that are naturally scrutinized by seniors. Many manufacturers are now carrying cell phones designed especially for the needs of seniors, and before choosing a phone it is important to think about which features are most important.
Excerpts from article:
Helpful tips for buying cell phones

Tip 1 – Functionality – Consider which functions you need in a phone. Keep it as simple as possible. What will you use your phone for? Calling? Texting? Internet searching?
Tip 2 – Size of the phone – The size of the actual phone should be large enough to hold comfortably.
Tip 3 – Screen – Make sure the screen is big enough to see clearly.
Tip 4 – Buttons – The button size should be large enough to see and to use easily.
Tip 5 – Volume – Are the ringtone and earpiece volumes adjustable? Do they get loud enough to hear them well?
Tip 6 – Phone Lock/Unlock – How the phone locks and unlocks is important for people with arthritis. Normally, to lock or unlock a phone, a person has to press a series of buttons. A flip-style phone may be a better option because the phone unlocks as soon as it is flipped open.
