Memo24 Big Button Corded Landline Speed Dial Phone for Elderly & Dementia

The Memo24 Big Button and Picture Corded Landline Phone for Elderly and Dementia Sufferers I received is brilliantly simple to use, connected to my existing ‘phone line and working within a few minutes of unpacking from the box, with a brief instruction sheet with clear and succinct ‘how to use’ information. It has a good loud ring and hands-free speaker phone, redial and easy to use speed dial facility (for up to nine telephone numbers you regularly use eg for family and friends). This telephone is particularly appealing as I’m not only a proud member of the senior and significantly large ‘digitally excluded’ community, but because I suffer with autism, and therefore easily ‘panicked’ by complicated technology. A new telephone I recently bought - made by a reputed company and purchased from a very well-known high street retailer - I couldn’t use because it was so complicated to programme - I think it would have been easier to programme a lunar space probe! And I objected because it came with a plug, so I had to have a nearby mains electric wall socket - which there wasn’t. Have you ever heard of anything so bizarre as a telephone you have to plug in to work, like a domestic appliance - I must admit that was a new one on me, and not very environmentally or electricity bill friendly! This superb Memo24 landline telephone has no such nonsenses, you plug into your existing telephone socket and you’re away! In fact it was so good and such good value for money I bought a second one for the future a) in case this one eventually breaks down and b) in case it becomes unavailable in the future because some ‘genius’ replaces it with a telephone you have to plug in to a mains wall socket, programme like a lunar space probe and c!

I bought these for my elderly mum who was finding it difficult to use her phone. It has been amazing and she loves it, the picture memory is easy to set up and now mum no longer has to try and input numbers, she just lifts the receiver and presses the picture to who she wants to call and the phone does the rest. Fantastic phones. Ringing noise is loud so she can hear it and if she needs to use the numbers for any reason they are big enough to see and press.

Easy to use , sets up easily with store buttons and works as hoped for , easy to use for the older person I bought it for that struggles to dial numbers when flustered, big speed dial buttons easy to use and see , so would recommend 👍🏼

My mum has dementia and this phone is ideal. Easy to use and similar to the type she had when she was younger so she remembered how to use it. Love the fact that we have been able to put our photos on the buttons and just the press of a single button and mum is straight through to one of the family.

Great! Very easy to set up. Simple instructions for programming numbers, with a choice of inserting names or face pics. Excellent for the elderly and dementia sufferers.

The large buttons are perfect for my elderly mother. Good sound quality. Easy set-up for the memory buttons. Highly recommended.

Ideal for my 86 year old mom who frequently forgets to wear her hearing aids. Great that I can preprogram her frequently used telephone numbers. Works perfectly connected directly to broadband, so she 'thinks' she still has an old-fashioned landline ;)

Unfortunately it wouldn't work have read several reviews saying same thing or stopped working after a month or too which has put me off exchanging it for another. It is a shame as such a great idea.
