Doro 8030 mobile phone

[BensGrandad]

Has anybody or their parents got a Doro 8030 phone if so what are the pros and cons. It is a smart phone with a loud ringtone ideal for the older person.

I bought a doro easy phone for my mum, not the smart version the flip version 612. My mum loves it, nice a simple and only mobile phone she used. She is 83 and the other phones I gave her she would not turn on, but this one she uses all the time, so I would say successful. I was going to try her with one of the smart verions but thought better of it as I finally got her something she likes.

I had that one but was persuaded to upgrade to the 812 which is a smart phone but with Android upgradjng the program it now constantly displays the message insufficient memory so was told by Vodafone the only solution is a new phone.

Is that similar to a Samsung Phone but better. Vodafone upgrades reccomended a Samsung J3 or J5 the shop said A5.

Bought one for my Dad who is 89 and he gets on very well with it ..button on the back which if he presses it automatically sends a 'alert' text a family member..out to of all the ones we tried he liked this one the best..large touch screen keys ..large icons etc

That is what I wanted thanks I am now deciding between the 8030 and the 825 which are virtually the same I think except 8030 doesnt have a torch.

I am a man who tends to act on impulse and after reading this thread and the views expressed a Doro will be ordered

I would whole-heartedly recommend the Omsung Phine to anyone looking for a good device for an elderly relative. It is best that you do your own research though, so please ensure you google Omsung Phine for information about it first.

If you want to have a look at an Omsung Phine in person I recommend popping into Carehome Whorehouse and ask the staff to show you their range.

I had a similar conversation, but in my case when the shop said A5 it sank my battleship.

It does - but you have to set fire to it.

This thread is for intelligent people so probably too advanced for you so I should opt out now if I was you.

You have a false sense of your own grand importance BG.

For an old man you talk like an arrogant fool.

In all the threads you post and contribute too --- as far as I can remember you have never shown a sense of humour ---- ever.

The two fellas that sat near to you told me what you were like.

Years later all I can say they were right.
