Cell phones for seniors

Given that cell phones exploded in popularity only in the last decade, quite a few people have lived well into their adult lives without ever owning one. Since learning to use a new technology can be challenging for anyone, a few companies have introduced cell phones designed specifically for senior citizens. Instead of being packed with unnecessary multimedia features, these senior-friendly models are all about communication. More importantly, they're designed to be as easy to use as possible. Large displays and keypads are typical and menu interfaces tend to be simple and straightforward. Here are a few cell phones that are designed for senior users.
The new ClarityLife phone is an unlocked GSM handset. It offers a bright display, a slider design, and good call quality. It also offers a few more features than you might need.
Verizon Wireless offers the recently released Verizon Wireless Coupe. It's a bit smaller than comparable mobiles, but like all senior-friendly phones, it has dedicated emergency keys.
One company has stepped forward to offer cell phones specifically designed for seniors. GreatCall, a CDMA MVNO, offers two handsets aimed at seniors: the Samsung Jitterbug Dial (A120) and the Samsung Jitterbug OneTouch (A110). The former has a large and bright keypad while the latter is designed mostly for emergencies. It has only three buttons, which connect respectively to an operator, emergency services, and a programmable contact.
