VOCA V530 Unlocked 3G Flip Phone, Dual Screen with Big Button, Predictive Text, Multi languages, SOS Button, Hearing Aid Compatible, Easy to Use Mobile Cell Phone, Senior Citizen-Friendly, Black

My wife is the least computerate person I know and only came to the world of cellphones when we sourced an Amplicon with large buttons. Its battery died and rather than replacing it we decided to go for the Voca as it is smaller and easier to use.Setting up the various ringtones for the phone and texts is easy once one realises that each individual line has to be saved. Many people make the mistake of doing the changes and assuming that a final Save will fix them - it loses all but the last!The Voca help desk comes back within 24 hours and answered all my queries apart from how to link to the internet. Indeed I still wait for their answer. In the meantime I found a manual for the Doro flip phone and saw that my problem was that I had failed to 'profile' my internet setting with info like the Account Name and APN.This makes me think that the Voca range and Doro range may actually be similar phones with different brandings. If they are then the Doro might offer better prices and different specs. This I cannot confirm - so if you want to play safe you should buy the same Voca that I bought.It charges perfectly well on its cradle and does everything one could want in respect of phone calls and texts. It is also comfortable to use - unlike the run of the mill Samsung smart phone which my wife rejected when I offered it to her.Totally recommended.

I bought this product because I like the design of clamshell phones. I down graded from my HTC desire and I have not been disappointed. The compact unit fits into my pocket and palm of my hand. The external display tells me the time so the watch is now in the drawer. The external buttons means you can cancel a call without opening the unit.This unit has been designed for those more elderly users. The text display is large and "ticker tapes" large amounts of information onto the screen, therefore I do not need my +2 reading glasses to use this phone. A BIG BENEFIT. The two slots for SIM cards are for 2G and 3G cards only. The blue tooth works well with my car system for hands free use, however I have to accept the coupling question each time I connect it.(hence 4 stars).You also have to buy a micro sd card (hence 4 stars) if you want to use the camera.The charging dock is another bonus eliminating having to fiddle with micro usb connectors and my reading glasses (it does have one for when not in the cradle). I have not tried the internet on the unit because if I want to do that then I would continue to use a smartphone with the apps.A full charge seems to last 2-3 days depending upon bluetooth usage. For a £60 phone it is great value, but if you are addicted to a smartphone apps its not for you. It has the usual selection of its own apps such as note taker, calculator, music. picture editor.TORCH, and if you are worried about your health, a SOS button which will communicate to three people your emergency on the long press of its dedicated button. The documentation with the unit is poor and the website it directs you to is also poor (hence 4 stars).

After 9 months phone has fallen apart. The Flip top has come away from the body of the phone and is no longer usable.Most annoying. Will not purchase another of the same make.

4 months old 1 sim slot stop working, 6 month old some buttons are unresponsive,7 months old battery needs charged more often.8 months in had enough phone now in bin,now using my old phone.

After having smart phones for a few years and the phones getting bigger and bigger (WHY) I decided to buy this. I do not need the internet when I am out working. Its small and fits in my pocket and on my belt. You open it to answer and close to stop. Great radio with a loud speaker, you do not have to plug in earphones for the radio to work. What a brilliant phone.Would recommend this to anyone wanting a good phone for work. Well done VOCA. Any jobs going at your place???

Bought this specifically for the convenience of the charging cradle. Spec looks like it would be perfect for my elderly relative, small size fits in a pocket, but large buttons and SOS button for peace of mind, flip open and close would save accidental dialling. However, cradle connection does not sound right as though the connection is faulty. Occasionally the lights come on briefly, but soon go out and phone will not charge despite many attempts, so am having to return it.

Bought this for my elder mother...she loves it easy to use

Battery not good

Ha sido un regalo, para mi suegra y ha quedado encantada. Le ha cogido rápido el funcionamiento. Números y teclas grandes, ideales para los dedos grandes de nuestros mayoresEspero que el móvil sea duradero, y aguante bien el trote diario...Por lo demás... si mi suegra está encantada... Imagínate yo...

Preso per mio nonno perfetto ... il volume è molto alto e tasti grandi ... poi lo sportello comodo per la risposta automatica nel solo aprire lo sportello

Wie es aus de Betreff zu ersehen ist, ist dieses schöne Handy sehr ähnlich gebaut wie das Geemarc CL8500, aber ein paar Unterschiede gibt es doch noch: es gibt mehr Ruftöne (u.a. der Herbst von Vivaldi, sehr schön und die kleine Nachmusik von Mozart); insgesamt sind 20 Töne zur Auswahl. Die Pfeiltaste nach rechts dient zur Thema-Auswahl, wenn man einmal auf Menü gedrückt hat. Insgesamt sind 500 Einträge im Telefonbuch möglich und ebenso wie beim sehr guten Geemarc, ist es hier auch möglich, eine unerwünschte Nummer zur schwarzen Liste hinzuzufügen (sperren). Das Radio kommt mit der mininamalen Lautstärke aus und eine Kamera oder Internetfunktion brauche ich nicht.

El teléfono lo está usando una persona mayor y está muy contento porque escuchas muy bien se oye bien y dura bastante la batería lo usa con audífonos Y funciona y se oye muy bien para mi cumple con todas las espectativas que yo quería

Cellulare con poco movimento internet che purtroppo si è bruciato il display subito, a conchiglia, molto elegante e funzionale. Chiesto il rimborso.
