Second Chance Gigaset E560A Duo

Bought this phone for my 90 year old grandmother. Connecting was very easy and the phone is also highly recommended in terms of ease of use. She was able to use the telephone, including the operation of the telephone book, with minimal explanation. The A/B/C/D buttons are also ideal, easily dialing a pre-programmed number or using the SOS function, which automatically dials up to 4 pre-programmed numbers, with the first number that picks up a pre-recorded message. gets to hear. The receiver can then remotely (by pressing the 5 key) activate the hands-free function on the phone, making contact in an emergency a lot easier.

The phone has no major drawbacks as far as I've found, but there are some points of attention. First of all, the telephone book must be set up by telephone. It can be transferred number by number to the other phone(s), but unfortunately this does not synchronize automatically. In addition, the phone has a flashlight function, in which the light is also used as an optical indicator (flashes when the phone rings, ideal for people with hearing aids, for example). This light is located at the top of the back of the phone. When the phone is in the charger, this light is not always visible as it faces backwards. So the idea is very good, but it would have been a little more convenient if the light had been at the front. Incidentally, the green bell button also lights up when the telephone rings, so it is not the case that there is no visual indicator at all.

All in all, the phone is highly recommended, especially for the elderly who are looking for an easy-to-use phone.
