Doro 1380 Unlocked 2G Dual SIM Mobile Phone for Seniors with 2.4" Display, Camera and Assistance Button (Black) [UK and Irish Version] (Black)

I recently got a Doro phone for an older family member and it has been excellent for ease of use. The interface is very simple and clear, with large icons, a bright screen, and straightforward menus that make it much less confusing than a standard smartphone. The physical buttons are well spaced and easy to press, which is ideal for anyone who struggles with smaller touchscreens. The sound quality is also very good, with loud and clear calls that are easy to hear even in noisy environments. One of the best features is the emergency assistance button, which gives extra peace of mind for family members. The battery life is strong too, meaning it doesn’t need constant charging. Overall, it’s a thoughtfully designed phone that really focuses on simplicity and accessibility. I would definitely recommend it for older users who want something easy, reliable, and stress-free to use.

Bought for my elderly nan to replace a current doro phone. Was a little dubious purchasing on here for some reason, but didn't need to be. Phone works well of a nice size it is quite wide so probably not great for someone with grip difficulties or smaller hands. Easy to use, plus side it's bigger than original so the screen is bigger. Adjustable settings, loud for those with hearing difficulties. Addition of a camera this time so hopefully no sending random pocket pictures. Came with a plug and usbc lead with a usbc hole in plug. The wallpapers were a bit too busy for her to be able to see the time on the screen, so we took a picture of a plain black surface so she could see the screen functions and time easier as they were all a bit too bright and hard to see from.

The Doro 1380 works well, and the setting up instructions are quite comprehensive, except for Bluetooth linking of the phonebook. I had to return the first phone to the retail store for refund because of a charging fault, but the one I bought from Amazon to replace it had no issues. The battery charge lasts me a week before I need to recharge. Not a smart phone, but a very workmanlike feature phone for calls and messages. It can hold two sim cards and a SD card for photos.

I bought this for my elderly grandmother. She had never really used mobiles before. We got her a few over the past few years that she tried to use but couldn’t get used to them and they got stuck in a drawer. This one though, she got used to within a few days. She loves it. As someone who still uses the landline with no caller display and no digital phone book, she still gets excited that she doesn’t have to get out her address book and look up numbers, because now they’re in her mobile. It’s a great quality device, and it also gives us peace of mind as a family because she is in her 90s now so having a mobile that she can keep on her to ring someone in an emergency rather than struggling to reach the landline is comforting to us , and we’ve setup the emergency button on it too, which sends a few of our family members an instant text saying the emergency button was pressed, and then it automatically round-robin calls us while putting her mobile on loudspeaker so we can speak directly to her in an emergency. Excellent value for money . I can’t speak so much for the features, it’s a pretty simple device, but the emergency button feature is great (although I would say that it’s a bit difficult to configure that button, for a device that’s targeted to the elderly). It’s a good size phone, with good sized buttons and text on the display, and the battery lasts a solid few days.

In October 2023 I got one of these for my mother in law who is 90 with Parkinson’s and just needed a simple phone. It is important for her to have an easy to use phone so she can get help if needed. The phone lasted 7 months before the battery gave up so I had to buy her another identical one straight away . A call to customer service at Doro was a waste of time . They offered to repair the first phone . It didn’t need repairing it needed a battery but would be no use to me or mother in anyway as I’d already replaced the whole phone . Rubbish but expect nothing more for under 30 .

Good phone delivered on time

My Uncle who refuses to get a Smartphone has been relying on old Nokia handsets over the years, but after his last one died, we struggled to find another reasonably priced second hand knowing that any second hand phone also needs a new battery also. Even the new Nokia feature phones have tiny buttons. This Doro phone has chunky buttons that makes such a difference dialling numbers such as for keying in the long prepay credit voucher numbers. Even texting is so much easier and quicker than with the tiny buttons on his previous phones. Despite my uncle living in a poor signal area which causes higher battery drain, the Battery lasts over a week, sometimes 10 days. Call quality seems very good including a clear speaker phone and it seems to hold the network connection better than his previous phones in weak signal areas. Silencing and unmuting is simple by just pushing the # button for a few sections. The only minor niggle is there is no shortcut key customisation, such as to quickly open the SMS inbox. Its flash light has a physical on/off switch. While not as bright as most smartphones, it is sufficient for walking in the dark. The display is bright and easy to read as shown in the image. Navigating menus is quick as there are just a few menus for calls, texts, contacts, etc. It has a basic image gallery and low resolution camera. There is no web browser or anything that I could see that uses data, which is a big plus with the extortionate out-of-bundle data charges many prepay operators charge, particularly with most Smartphones using a small amount of data even with data turned off. After my uncle using the Doro for a month, he did not have any out of bundle data charges deducted from his call credit.

My 71 year old father was very upset when he put his SIM card in and nothing followed over we tried all sorts but nothing worked so he had to start from scratch retyping all his numbers over and because his old phones screen broke he couldn’t get the pictures either it ended up really upsetting him

Perfect for elderly parent

Bien i rapido

Non ha la lingua italiana

Bonjour, l'article est bien arrivé à destination. Merci. Cdlt

Purtroppo il telefono non ha la possibilità di mettere la lingua in italiano quindi per una persona anziana è inutilizzabile. Per questo ho fatto il reso.
