Easyfone Prime-A6 4G Unlocked Feature Cell Phone, Easy-to-Use Clear Sound GSM Dumbphone with an Easy Charging Dock

I found setting up this phone was not much of a challenge. It works with standard (Post Paid) SIM cards. My carrier is T-Mobile and operates perfectly. I purchased this phone for a senior relative and it shouldn't be much of challenge to make and receive calls on this device. The display is easy to read when dialing phone numbers. I pre-programmed several functions (i.e. Bluetooth and Contact Names/Numbers) that I feel is immediately useful. Internet access can be setup if that is the desire; however, you may find 3G a little slower than a common smart phone. Text messaging is available; however, you will have to master the number key input to accomplish this. I bought this phone simply for making and receiving calls. The Bluetooth function connects to any device with this technology (i.e. Telephone Handsets, Equipped Vehicles, Audio Equipment, etc.). I'm completely satisfied at this point and find this phone quite functional and easy to use for most seniors. UPDATE: The battery has a very short charge life. I called Amazon Customer Service and they immediately sent a replacement battery. This should resolve the issue and really appreciate their assistance in resolving my battery concerns.

Well, EASYFONE isn't exactly accurate. I spent many hours trying to activate this phone. I had the miniscule nano sim card that is required, and it is just that: miniscule. Make that VERY miniscule? I must have dropped it 10 times. The instructions say to "insert it" and show a diagram of WHERE, but they don't say HOW. To anyone who is as ignorant as I am about such things, please stick something sharp and thin down in that metal "pocket" where the nano card goes, and lift it slightly, or like me, you'll struggle getting it inserted! I kept just laying it on top of that pocket, because it looked like that was where it went in the diagram. I'd put the back on and then discover that was WRONG. I defy you to remove that back 5 or 6 times like I had to, and have any thumbnails left. I finally wised up (?) and used a dull knife to slide in between the front and back to open it, and there were little pieces of the plastic all over the counter from cutting pieces when trying to prize it loose all those times.The phone is NOT easy to use, once you get it activated, (activating it is another whole ballgame, btw. That was fun... NOT!) I've spent hours trying to discover just how to make a call and type a text on the thing. Still not sure how either of those is done. I will say, the sound seems to be good and even with my hearing aids, easily heard.I use a p.c. and an iPad for hours every day, and have no problems with either. This phone is a very confusing, strange piece of technology, but I had to have it for certain tasks after my old cellphone became obsolete. It did everything, and never a problem till I couldn't use it anymore.Edit: I'm finally fed up with this NOT Easyfone, and am returning it. It wouldn't make even a simple call without problems--like letting Walmart know I was there to pick up my grocery order. Simply refused. Final straw was when I placed a call to a friend, and she said I sounded like I was underwater--and so did SHE! Then a few seconds later, the phone cut out completely and she had to call me back on my landline. Maybe it was just this phone or perhaps me, but I can't recommend this Easyfone. It's a piece of very poor, outdated technology--and seems to be a lot like the old Blackberry. 🙁

I ordered 4 different senior phones on Amazon, just to test them out and see which would be a best fit for my mother. The Easyfone is by far the easiest to use. The interface is clean, simple, intuitive---and just works without any bugs/hiccups. Navigating the menus are pleasant, with a nice audio sound (unlike the other phones, which were all obnoxiously loud and annoying, and no way to reduce the ear deafening ringer). And I like that the up/down arrows can be customized to enter directly into contacts. My mother needed a phone with 1-click dialing, and a simple way to get into contacts. And this is it. The M1/M2 are easy to program, so she can call me directly by just holding down the M1. Buttons 1-6 can also be programmed to call a number as well, when held down for 2 seconds. Photos can be taken using the phone's camera, which allows you to attach pictures to each contact (for added visual aid instead of just text). Packaging was also the best of all the phones I tested. It is clear this company pays attention to details, unlike the other phones.
