  • The color is crisp and shiny, the screen is bigger (one of my favorite features), the buttons are bigger, which makes them easy to see, and the volume and speaker phone is louder(which is great for Seniors).
  • Wanted a bright color (red) so it would be easier for him to find it if lost or misplaced.

Reviews around review (1.69 of 5)

  • I wanted to believe the good reviews because my mom wouldn't stop bugging me to purchase this red flip phone for her
  • I bought this phone for my uncle with some trepidation because of the negative reviews
  • I am blown away at all the negative reviews for every single aspect of this phone and Great Call
  • If conditions improve, I'll update this review.
  • While they claim they target seniors they obviously do not consider seniors on a fixed income, again catering to those who have higher income and can easily afford all the costs associated with this phone and a plan that gets as many negative reviews for customer service, etc and the cheapest other options

Reviews around verizon (1.54 of 5)

  • First, it uses the Verizon network through Great Call, which would not be a problem if her home was not in a Verizon dead zone

  • but it is nowhere near as reliable as Verizon.
