TTfone Comet TT100 Big Button Simple Easy Mobile Phone with Dock Charger

Got damaged within 1 week. Please no one should buy this one.

The manual might as well have been written in Swahili, it was unintelligible and gobbldy-gook.After several hours of button presses, beeps and boops and I actually ran out of expletives and profanities trying to get this thing to work!Finally we handed over to my 90 year old mother-in-law as the old girl needs a bit of security knowing she can always get hold of us in an emergency, she was chuffed to bits with it as it made her feel less vulnerable and more independent.I now can update my review of the phone. In a word, garbage. The buttons, menu and audio are terrible, the buttons are irrelevant in the functionality - say answering an incoming call you don't press the call button you press on of the small buttons "OK". The second gripe is the buttons have to be pressed pretty hard to get an actuation, this isn't good for a person with reduced sensitivity in their fingers, another reason why we purchased this phone for her.When dialling a number in the directory there is a bizarre series of button presses and drilling down two layers of sub-menus to make an call, no select number and press the call button, why?The output volume is so low even I can barely hear it and I'm a recording engineer! It's fizzy, faint and pointless, old people tend to have poor hearing, right?Flimsy build, it creaks with every button press and feels indistinct in the hand also its too slippery for people with reduced dexterity and grip.She is so disappointed as the times she really needed the phone to work, she had a fall on her doorstep and the SOS functioned tied to my wifes' phone didn't work, When her BT phone line crashed she couldn't make a call (see above) and despite us calling her she couldn't hear us.

Now I am very divided here. All the write ups were very good. It is as it all says, the video is excellent BUT it's what it doesn't say. There is no predictive text but considering it's meant to be a very easy phone to use, I can understand this. Not everyone gets predictive text and I can live without it. The main problem I am having is when a message is received, only the telephone number comes up not the name of the person. Yet the name comes up when receiving a phone call. So I contacted the maker TTfone. They have been brilliant (I am very pleased with the service they have provided) and kept in contact with me. I have had numerous e-mails, including a result. It seems the problem is that all the numbers need to be entered in your phone book as +44 as you would if it is an international number (don't forget to drop the zero). I really do like this phone but I haven't as yet altered my numbers so can't tell for certain if this will cure the problem at the moment but am hopeful. Using an old phone at present but will get on to this asap. It would have got 5 stars otherwise.

I bought this for my elderly mother who is moving into a Residential Home and is hard of hearing. I wanted a phone with charging cradle for ease of use, plus a speaker facility which she's been used to on her landline. Possibly my expectations were too high for a phone at this price, but for me I had to return it as it was unsuitable. Firstly the handset had to be placed in the charging cradle several times before it displayed 'charging'. Even pressing the phone down didn't help. The earpiece and speaker sound quality was poor, and the speaker volume was not very loud even when set to maximum, so useless for the hard of hearing in my opinion.Overall probably worth the delivered price of £20, but don't expect too much.

Found that this model did not enable predictive texting. Contacted you last Sunday and you arranged a collection by Hermes, next working day. It is now almost noon on Wednesday and no sign of collection. A day and a half, and nothing is happening. As a regular Amazon customerthe quality of this services falls very short of what one has come to expect from Amazon. May Insuggest you take action AS SOON as you receive this with phone calls in the required direction. I like to buy from Amazon, but this guy is not happy at the moment

Nice little phone, buttons feel nice, large clear screen, basic functions so as not to confuse things, very easy to set emergency and regular numbers, and make calls and texting, gives peace of mind for emergencies, its unlocked so you can use a pay as you go sim from your chosen company so its very cheap to get up and running, instructions included. very happy.
