Just watched the video again and see the hands free was explained so my question answered! Thank you!

Thank so much!! All I was trying to find out was why there were 2 sim card slots but you have explained that only one is required. Cheers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this excellent video about the artfone. I found it very useful especially how to insert the sim card. The user instructions were next to useless.

Got one these with the base station model C1+ for a partially sighted and going deaf elderly chap and it works fine. As he is in a care home I disabled the sos audio warning and sos call/sms features. He uses the speed dial but I would not use location number 1 as it could access the messages instead. The rear speaker is really loud so is good for hard of hearing. If the user is dialing a number not in the address book or on speed dial it can be used to speak the digits as the numbers are pressed. For the money it`s good but the supplied manual is useless so kudos to this uploader. The FM radio is good via the speaker and works without ear buds as an aerial.

What a great help. Many thanks for producing this!

Very helpful video. Thank you so much

Thank you for this video, I was looking to buy this phone for my hard-of-hearing grandma. Can you tell if the ear speaker volume can be set loud enough?

Thank you! Very helpful!

Very helpful thank you. It (C1) worked well for 2 days but now the recipient cannot hear me - I can hear them. On my side there is a loud echo. Please advise. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the video.

thanks, I bought one for my mom and couldn't get contacts in, 2 mins with you and problem solved.

Does this have memory card? So more contacts and messages can be stored?

@evdwatt

2 жыл бұрын

It has an SD card but it is for storing MP3 music files and pictures, not contacts and SMS messages. Between the SIM and internal storage you should be able to store around 100 contacts. The SMS inbox memory is not big though so you'll need to delete messages after about 10 SMS's so there is space for more.

I have just bought this phone for my elderly father. You can make calls but it isn’t receiving calls. When you dial the number off another phone it doesn’t even ring.

The pin is a function of the SIM, not the phone. The easiest would be to put the SIM in your previous phone, go to the security settings in that phone and then remove the pin from the SIM.

It could be doing that for a few different reasons. If you put the SIM in a different phone does the problem persist? Are the numbers you're calling from blocked on the Artfone? It may be a network issue. It's a 2G phone and some networks have limited support for that band. You could try a SIM from a different network. Or go to Menu - Settings - Network settings and change the network selection from automatic to manual. Then select a different network to the one your wife is on. It will say "registering" and will either complete or fail. If it completes then you can try to call her phone again. I suspect it's just network related though.
