However, the old folks should not be deprived with the things that they need from a cell phone. I don’t mean camera and web browser, I’m just saying that they are still capable to follow simple functionalities so they can also enjoy composing and receiving text messages, listening to their favorite tunes or talk shows when walking outside the house, and other basic features. The old folks want an easy phone, but this does not mean that they should be given a cell phone that is only limited to make calls.
I believe that one of the phones for seniors that they will truly enjoy is the Just5 phone. This phone is very easy to use, but this does not limit or insult the elderly. With this, they can enjoy several basic features, which are all relevant and entertaining. This phone is very much reliable in times of emergency as well.

Why not just use images of people  for dialing? These disks are hard to handle for people with bad eyesight and dexterity and they GET LOST.
I&#039;m not sure if you could have made this any less usable.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bad solution to a real problem.</p><p>Why not just use images of people  for dialing?

isPermaLink="false">http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2007/10/18/seniors-hate-dialing-apparently/#comment-29868</guid> <description>A couple design ideas.
1. The disks may be hard to hold for someone with joint problems. Many older people have difficulty with fine motor skills required to pick up something even as simple as a disk.
I recommend taking note of coins, and adding ridges to the edges of the RFID badges. This is to help keep the badges from slipping out of their fingers and falling to the ground.
Maybe add a fabric tab like a short lanyard, to help in gripping the disk.
2. Dropping and loosing disks can spell trouble for those who don&#039;t have the flexibility to look under the fridge, desk, or other nooks and crannies.
These disks can be lost, and it can be difficult for a person who needs to use this kind of a phone to get a replacement.
If the disks can be attached to the phone by a cord, that would solve the problem of both lost disks and difficulty in handling the disks.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple design ideas.</p><p>1.

I am based in Australia and wondered  if you could email me in regards to your T-Phone. I work with large groups of people this could be very beneficial to.
My email address is adr612@people.net.au
