Voice Activated Answering Machine

by Janice
(Philadelphia, PA)

My daughter bought me a voice activated answering machine. I love it. I don't have to struggle looking for the right little button to press. Just say "Answering Machine" and then say "Play New" and my messages are played. It's easy to re-play old messages as well.

Large Number Phone

by Carol
(Dallas, TX)

I bought my mom a large number phone with a talking caller ID. It is easy for her to see and use because the number pads are extra large as well. For her we also needed amplified sound as she is hard of hearing too!

Low Vision Phone

by Larry
(United States)

I am looking for a better phone for my mother who has Macular Degeneration.

I found a "low vision phone" on your website-and it links me to a company called firstStreet Phones/Accessories.

I have talked with three different people from that company and they do not recognize this as being their phone.

The exact link that gets me to the phone I am talking about is

Thanks,Larry

Hi Larry,

I did some checking and the one I wrote about firstStreet no longer carries.

Maxiaids carries a nice Cordless Large Button Phone if you want to check it out.

Kind Regards,

Leslie

Large Button Cell Phone

(Stillwater, MN)

I finally got rid of my old cell phone when my contract ended and replaced it with a Jitterbug - it is a large button cell phone - I can actually see the numbers on the key pad and the display. Also very easy to use.
