Mobile phone with large keys?

[Netty7]

Anyone know if there's a mobile phone on the market with large keys - just basic functions, nothing fancy.It's for my Dad, he's got Parkinsons and struggles to see and operate the smaller keys. Someone told me that Vodaphone do one but I've been on their website and can't find anything.

Yes, I've heard about the Vodaphone one aswell. If I were you I'd pop into one of their shops and ask them.

It was actually the chap in the Vodaphone shop spudqueen that told me about it and said it was only available on the net, so I might email them.
And thanks for the link Zen - I did look at that one but they seem to just be standard Nokia phones which still have relatively small keys to what they could be. But thanx

My dad has Parkinsons and he manages with a standard mobile phone as we have programmed all the numbers he needs into the 'speed dial' facility.

He only ever rings my mum, me or my brother so we are all on different 'hot keys'. He know that all he has to do is press 5 to get my mum for example.

Could this work for your dad?

Sagem VS4 has larger buttons than on most mobile phones. Part of Vodafone's 'Simple' range.

The Vodafone Simply is a great phone. Big keys, easy to use.
