About this deal
One kind of phone which ought to appear in this list is one of the best satellite phones. Because of the limited bandwidth, this technology hasn’t embraced data transfer with the same enthusiasm as cellular. The ARTFONE C1-01 makes things as simple as possible. Only practical functions are included – messages, calling, settings, FM radio and others – and the interface is very easy to navigate. Doro is a really popular simple mobile phone brand, but are its handsets the best you can buy? Find out here
As Chris Millington, MD of Doro UK, said: "Needs, opinions and tastes in mobile phones differ among older people as much as in younger target groups. It's great that we can now provide alternatives even for senior citizens who need functions like text messaging or listening to the radio, but still want an easy-to-use mobile phone." Another is the colour display LCD screen. It is bright and vivid for easy use in different light conditions. Numbers, letters and icons are shown in a large font on the screen. Surprised to see someone slating this product, Does what I need and has a fair number of good features. Looks as though it,s made to last.Add in hard-to-read displays and fiddly keypads, and many elderly people avoid mobiles altogether – missing out on a vital lifeline.
This is another good option for those who are looking for a low-cost mobile phone for their elderly parent or friend.
A brand you might better associate with heavy machinery, the CAT even rumbles like a diesel engine at start up. It’s not actually the company’s only foray into phones, but the B35 is the more feature-rich, in that it includes KaiOS and the collection of Google-owned apps which you’d expect to accompany that (Maps, YouTube, Google Assistant).
