Phone for an 87 year old

[cirian75]

Nan turns 87 later this month, has small old tired flip samsung.

Its a bit to small now, so we tried to get her used to android with a Moto G

That was an expensive mistake.

So, back to what she had, kinda.

We need a big assed tough flip phone, the Doro seems to be the popular option.

Any other suggestions?

My Grandma died last year aged 87. At the time she was using a Z1. She loved it because us grand-kids could whattsap her pictures of her great grand-kids.

She also had an iPad fro reading the local paper so she didn't have to have the paper copy delivered.

The grandmother in law however is a different matter. She struggles to operate the most basic of Nokia phones and goes into a full on panic attack if something unexpected happens when using it.

I've seen a few elderly people using Galaxy notes due to their size.

My grandmother falls into the "grandmother in law" category.

Yet she has no issues using her Samsung smart TV

sight and hearing are still good, its the arthritis in the hands that is the issue.

Her hands are basically crap, pretty much only her index fingers and thumbs work properly now.

Plus very very easy to get flustered and panic.
