My parents need a new cell phone. They are elderly.They have a very small Samsung flip phone from Verizon that is hard to use with it's tiny buttons and poor speaker. i have the same phone, and I also hate it. I'm wondering if this would be a good...

You don't even need to take it to Verizon. You can literally handle it all over the phone. My dad is 70 and I got him this phone. It's extremely durable and the speaker seems pretty loud. He texts me also using it so the keys are a decent size and they have a bit of a raise to them. Anyway hope that helps.

Yes - I did the same thing for my elderly mother. It's a very durable phone.

Yes, as long as your old phone has the capability to connect to a bluetooth. You can look in your settings for "wireless and Network". Our old flip phones worked just fine with it.

As of now it seems like a no frills phone that would work forever. I think its a good phone except for the price. for $50 you can get a proper windows or android phone. I bought this one for emergency in case I run out of battery on my regular iphone or I use it as a second phone while travelling.

Hello, I bought this phone for my husband who is a real phone "buff" and wanted the BlackBerry 'Storm', but that was a mistake. It did not function well at all even though it was not a cheap phone it malfunctioned after just 2 months. It's not worth the hype. Not a good phone at all. Sorry for the bad report but I wished someone had warned me.KHz_Baha

YES! The phones have been great. We have them all over the place and they work very well. I would buy again. Good Quaility for sure. JIM HUNT.

Just had live chat with a VerizonWireless rep. My old flip phone bit the dust. I said I was being given a Samsung Convoy and where to activate. (I want a flip phone, don't need all the bells & whistles.) Had no hassles about my decision & got info I needed. Just add to existing contract no prob, supposedly.

This is absolutely not a smart phone. There aren't many flip phones in Japan that are smart phones. Most of their smart phones are touch screen phones like America's phones. (I came from Asia myself so I'm used to these phones.) But if AT&T; is trying to charge you data for it then I don't know what to do. I was honestly considering Net 10 for mine. I still haven't activated it yet. Hope I was a little helpful. ^_^

I already had a Samsung flip phone, so I went online to find out which phone would be compatible with the model I had. The Illusion was one of two listed. I didn't have to go to the store to activate; I was able to follow directions and activate it at home. I was also able to keep the same phone number. The new plan was even $5.00 less than the one I currently had (they were both Verizon prepaid plans). Hope this helps!!!

I purchased the phone for my brother in law with Parkinson's plus. Unfortunately, he was unable to use it successfully in the nursing home and it was removed from his room. I really don't know anything about it's workings and that was 2 years ago. He has since passed.

I am not quite following you. In any case this phone is quite too old and not the best option as a smart phone. Try better a Samsung Huawei or LG. You will find some that are cheap and at the same time quite reliable.

I'm an old geezer and not too fussy. I am using my young son's old Galaxy Note II and was pleased with the Tech Armor. I showed him and he said it made the picture look fuzzy or dim. 66 year old eyes vs 24 year old eyes. Used to use a rotary phone. Born with a cell phone in his hand. I also agree with Lillian that the screen is much cleaner. Zero fingerprints. Oh, and I watched ND women vs ASU women in the NCAA tournament on WatchESPN. It was a sharp picture.

No problem Duy. I agree that yours might be a bit different from the Active they're referring to. I'm thinking it might just be the last fitting phone for this product. Good luck!

They can use this as a speaker phone but there is a big button phone out there that is better if your parent are vision impaired and hearing impaired look for that one. And change the cord to a longer one as well so that they don't pull it to the floor or short change themselves when answering. This one is good but for their purposes that one will be better.

Our experiences with this phone are not good. We are elderly and our hearing is not what used to be. It is difficult to hear. Putting it on speaker phone improves the clarity, somewhat. We do not recommend this phone, even with someone who has perfect hearing.

Oh no. This is just a basic function cell phone, not a smart phone. If you have read my review, you know that its function as a basic cell phone is pretty poor. Kind of cool-looking though. If you mostly want a great big watch that you can tell people is also a cell phone, it should be OK.

I have the old traditional flip phone (LG) and the case is made for those phones and works just fine. I had a problem with the belt clip holsters getting knocked off and not feeling it. Almost lost the phone more than once, but this call works great.
