I think so. I am 66 and kinda tech savvy but not really. I used it and liked it for phone, text and voice mail. It is inexpensive and mine was very reliable. I had different models for about 6 years.

It is a simple phone but the buttons are are really small. One just gets used to it...

Yes, you just push the pictures. My 82 years old granny has used two different type of phone and this one is her preferred. She understands how to use it and the pictures are very helpful. BTW, the second time I bought for her a different phone that uses pictures too, but when she wanted to call someone that was not with a pictures she takes to long to dial the number and the telephone calls someone in the saved list (ones with pictures). This phone does not do that, if you father take time to dial the number that should not be a problem.

No, this is not a smart phone. :) Just regular old talk and text. It does have internet functionality, however, I've personally never used this feature, so I can't really tell you much about it.

Yes, I bought this cell phone to my wife and she likes it very much. The cell phone uses Digitel service and works perfectly for both calling and Internet. About the language, when she turned on the phone the first time, she chose spanish and the device is working in spanish without problem.

Yes. However my elderly mother has found it difficult to use. None of us can figure out how to use speaker phone, something she really needs

The phone is fine for calls. No minutes came with my phone. I only use this phone for emergencies. I buy a plan that you can buy in many places including Walmart. I get the 60 day 300 minute plan for a little over $30. My minutes seem to roll over if you don't use them all. If you want to anything besides get and recieve calls something else might be better. I do get a fair number of "wrong number" calls. I assime that someone else had this number not too long ago.

This phone is used by my 77 yr old partner - very simple / no bling. Yes came with wall charger and battery but I think that is all. Has large #'s for him to see. Does not have qwerty keyboard / not efficient for texting (but he does not text anyway) Hope this helps and has answered your questions. Good for 1st child or senior citizen. I personally would not buy it for me - I am a texting queen. BTW - we do not have internet on it (have to pay extra thru our plan for that and decided never use it anyway) so don't know anything about that feature.

I bought this phone for my 92 year old grandmother - it is so simple for her to use and has given her back the freedom to pick up the phone to call family and friends. Just take the phone off the hook and push the picture!!! Your grandmother will love it - mine does!!!

Yes to all. This phone has been great for mom. Like I posted before I put names on the buttons since she can read and doesn't reconize faces.

I've read the other responses. My grandparents have been happy with the phone. The volume boost is nice. Numbers and display are easy to read. The only thing I don't like is the number of steps required to dial a memory number. Too many steps for my grandparents who are not tech savy.

I am not sure what is meant by simple. I can say that you can use it as just a phone and never text or email on it. It took awhile to get used to its operation though.

yes.this is a neat phone for the elderly, but the company that sells them does not have very good track record for customer service. Amazon should drop them.

Right, You dial your Voice-Mail Setup and follow the menus there.The W376G phone is a nice basic little phone, (I still use my first). However, the internal phone Set-up, Settings and Features menus are hopelessly disorganized and confused. And I've never seen any User Manual, Patches or Updates.

It really depends on features you want. If you ONLY call and text, then I would not buy this phone. You can switch your service to no data and save money. If you plan on doing anything on the web at all, then yes, I would buy this phone.

No. It is the most "elementary" of phones that I have dealt with being a former Bell employee who sold zillions of types of phones. The ONLY reason you would want this phone is because of the low price. Everything else about it screams "cheap"! We got rid of ours after about 6 months of use as my wife really did not like anything about it. It was so light that it moved all over the place when you would pick it up to answer it. I made a heavy walnut base for it to keep this from happening but it still did not past muster according to "the boss". So, since I am an advocate of using the two simple words that lead to a happy marriage I said, "yes dear" and it waa history.

I bought this phone for my 96 yr old grandfather. He is able to use it easily and I think the buttons are bigger than most phones. I have used the phone to answer calls for him and I too think it's a great phone for the money.

Are you kidding? I've seen telephones for seniors with a 10 digit keypad larger than this whole computer. With everything so small on this thing, most seniors probably couldn't even see what they were doing.
