However, inside this is Android and has all the sorts of features you might expect from a phone that first appeared in 2016. this arrived ahead of time,and was in good shape when it arrived at my house so i could ship it right to my sister,thank you so much.

Only a handful of new flip phones are introduced each year, which means most models are several years old.Available in red or graphite, it features two displays, one inside the clamshell and another smaller one on the outside.

The camera quality is very good for such a small phone, and it includes options to tweak photos before, during, and after you take the shot. And I consulted with older adults and caregivers around the United States on what makes a phone “senior-friendly. For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, notable features include live captions (which turn speech into text in real time), the ability to minimize background noise directly on the phone during conversations, and recognition and alerts for sounds such as smoke alarms or doorbells.But if you use only a flip phone you obviously lose the convenience of paying for things with your phone.

And if you need to communicate with someone else who reads braille, the phone allows you to type in six-dot or contracted braille through voice or a braille-specific keyboard. It features a dedicated emergency button, which can connect either to 911 or to Lively emergency-monitoring agents (though a subscription is required). For instance, voice dialing and predictive text aren't available, and basic information about battery status and signal strength isn't readily available without selecting Phone Info. It also offers a satisfactory camera in a less expensive package compared with some other Android options. I’ve written stories on health, mental health, and age tech, as it relates to older adults, for Time, Fortune, and other major online and print publications.For seniors or anyone else who just want ease of use as well as ease of mind, there’s no simpler flip phone than the inexpensive—but not cheap—Jitterbug Flip2.

All GSM phones have a little slot where you can insert a SIM card to give the phone a new phone number and identity, anywhere in the world. This app is included on other Android models, and it’s a feature that sets Android phones apart from iPhones. Not only is the CAT S22 smart, it’s also tough thanks to its IP68 dust/water resistance and military MIL-STD-810H rating. The Flip has a simple operating system with menu options that are customized so most interactions can be answered using the yes or no button.But, we think the era of simplified technology for seniors is coming to an end, and in the next few years, even the elderly will want something with more sophistication than this. But most basic cellular voice technologies haven’t improved all that much, though newer flip models might include more up-to-date Wi-Fi and Bluetooth versions. Imagine—you can continue to keep in touch in this ultra-connected world via the simplicity of an old-fashioned “feature” flip phone, a clamshell phone with a small, non-touch display and a physical numerical keypad that were the norm before the iPhone. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again.
