Loud Mobile Phone

  1. OK, so this might seem like a bit of a random question...

    I need to find a mobile phone for a friend who is slightly deaf. It has to be a basic phone - able to make calls and send texts - no smartphones, and not touchscreen. It has to have predictive text, and has to have a loud ringtone.

    So far I've found several phones that are designed to have a loud ringer for the elderly and/or hard of hearing, but none of them have predictive text.
    Anyone have any recommendations ?

    Cheers !

    I know you said no smart phone etc but some here may be worth a look - in case you can't find an ideal.

    Alternatively, there are contact details - an email enquiry may provide elicit options - worth a try?

    El T - The sad thing is that I remember that when it was originally on TV...
    TT & John - Thanks for the info. The Doro phones might be looking good - loud and with predictive text...
    I'll let you know how we get on.

  6. Update - went and talked to the local "phone shop". Go Mobile, Tavistock - very helpful...
    Ended up with a Nokia 222 - basically very similar to the Nokia 206 it was replacing, but with a very loud ring. Job done...
