These phones can be a challenge for elderly with cognitive issues. Smartphones are actually more intuitive. I got one of these for mum and I have to say, even I had issues setting up and navigating. I feel I wasted money on this.

You mention a few things. What is the problem exactly? You can't stop the startup sound. If the SIM is active on a 2G network it should connect to the network and display the network name in the middle of the screen after searching.

If you go to the Call Log option in the menu there should be an advanced setting for black listed numbers. You should see the blocked contact there. Otherwise you might need to restore the phone to its factory settings. Menu - settings - restore factory settings. Password: 1234

@evdwatt Жыл бұрын
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.

Hi, Can the screen stay unlocked ? I would need this phone for my 90 year old nan. She wouldn't be able to unlock the screen to use. She just wants to hold the speed dials to make calls, press green and red that's it. 2. How stiff are the buttons on the sides? She ideally doesn't want to accidently press anything 3. Does this phone actually work ok? I've seen some reviews saying doesn't really work Thanks
