My grandma (age 80++) wants:
* A flip phone:
- People that are no longer very dexterous have a hard time with touch screen phones
- It's a phone - she will only be using it as a phone; all the touch screen features are just confusing
* An "SOS" button that texts / dials a list of family numbers for help if she has an emergency that doesn't warrant calling 911. Having dedicated memory dial keys is a passable compromise.
I ended up buying a Voca V530. I bought it just last week, so it is too soon to call it an unqualified success, but it looks like it will do the job we want it to do.
- arnaudsm 9y agoYou're right ! I didn't include Flip Phones because they lack diversity and are pretty inexpensive. And people that buy flip phones usually don't search on the Internet websites like mine.
- bradknowles 9y agoNo, but people like that frequently depend on people like us who might visit such a site, and so therefore there is a big "friends and family" potential market that you are missing.
