Discover the Benefits of Senior Cell Phones

Senior citizens can reap numerous benefits from having cell phones that are easy for them to access and use. eBay stocks hundreds of cell phones that are designed for seniors. You can explore the range of models available and the features they have in order to find the one that suits your needs.

What advantages do senior phones have?

Senior cell phones offer many of the same conveniences and functions that other mobile phones have. However, some of their design aspects are intended to make them easier for the elderly to use for their daily activities. Some models that you'll find on eBay have helpful features such as:

• Large keypads - The numbers and letters on the keypads for some senior phones are much larger than normal. This might help you see the numbers or letters you are dialing.
• Hearing aids - Some senior cell phones are compatible with hearing aids and can help you listen to voice calls clearly.
• Emergency features - On some models, you can use emergency notifications even when you can't open or access the phone. A special button will alert your emergency contact and use GPS to find you.

Do these phones come in various styles?

Cell phones for seniors come in many of the same styles and designs as more traditional models. Any of these styles can be easy for you to use, and you can choose the one that is the most convenient for you to operate. You can find phones for the elderly with design elements such as:

• Flip - A standard flip phone for the elderly will have a front panel that flips up to reveal the keypad. The keypad's numbers may be larger than normal, and the front panel may display the date and time for you.
• Slider - This type of senior cell phone has a panel that slides rather than flips. There is usually a full keyboard underneath.
• Bar - This phone is one unit without any sliding or moving parts. The keypad and screen are both on the same panel.
