Does anyone know of a mobile with large buttons that would be easy for someone with impaired movement/eyesight to use? It would have to have up to date technology. I've searched and can't find anything even close.

Hi.

I think you can get mobiles that are voice activated, so all you need to do is say " call ** bloggs" and " end" to end the call.
I'm sure this is possible as I think hands free works in this way, same sort of system on Star Trek in the 60's, so I'm sure we have it avaliable now No I'm not a Treck fan, no offence to those who are

There are voice activated phones on the market, but I was looking for something with traditional buttons - you never know texting could catch on with the over 60's if they could find the buttons!

The Nokia 1100 seems to have quite large buttons and is basic in the menus, not sure if it will have all the features that you require but have a look at the link to it on the nokia web site

Hope this helps

Nokia 3310's are really cheap now and very simple to use. They have big stubbly buttons but the only downside is that the phone is quite old and won't have modern features. To be honest I think you might struggle to find a modern phone with big buttons as they are built so small now
