Last night I had dinner with my parents. They lamented that they could not find a phone for my elderly grandmother. They just need something that just makes and receives calls, is dead simple, has (very) large buttons, and is loud. Where is this phone? We have an ageing population.

Something like http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/telstra/telstra-easytouch-discovery-3/ http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/telstr...? (There was one with larger buttons, but I can't find it)

While this might not be the exact answer you were looking for, but people can buy a cheap android phone and put this launcher. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.kunes.android.launcher.activity&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.kunes.and...

iNO Mobile here in Singapore has a whole series of elderly-targeted phones, here's one: http://www.inomobile.com.sg/2012/07/ino-cp10/ http://www.inomobile.com.sg/2012/07/ino-cp10/ actual retail price now is SGD 79, which is about USD 65. I'm not sure if I can get these at our 7-Elevens, but I think they have something similar with large keys.

They lamented that they could not find a phone for my elderly grandmother Check out Doro (www.doro.com/). Quoting from the top of their website: "Doro is a Swedish company developing telecom products specially adapted to the growing worldwide population of seniors."
