Can you imagine life without a mobile phone? These days' mobiles are a part of our lives and so, it is hardly fair to forget the aged people, who cannot use the mobile phones that are available commonly. There is no doubt that we need more mobile phone for elderly persons today.

Sadly enough, the mobile phone market today is filled with countless options for different age groups but very few for the aged.

Senior people need mobile phones just like the other age groups do. It is often seen that old people cannot got out much because of health problems. In such cases, mobiles are their only window to communicate with people near and far. Therefore it is important to ensure, they are able to use their handsets properly.

What they would rather have is a simple device which allows them to make and receive calls and text messages. For them multimedia features, internet connectivity, gaming capabilities and the works may have no value at all!

Such handsets are very basic and easy to use. With not too many features and no complicated menu settings. This is because with reduced grasping power and eye-sight it gets difficult to understand and use the new-age complicated phones.

Phones should also have louder speakers; this especially helps people who have problem in hearing. Phones with larger display are also very essential. It is often seen that old people are unable to read the text or the numbers on the screen. Therefore, larger display helps to facilitate their vision.

A feature like emergency calling is also very helpful for them. There are some phones which have an emergency call button also called a panic key. Pressing the said button will automatically call a pre-assigned number without any delay.

Manufacturers realize that elderly people, who are living on a fixed income, cannot afford costly phones. Hopefully, as more mobile phone for elderly persons are available, prices will come down even further.
