VTech SN5147 Amplified Corded/Cordless Senior Phone with Answering Machine, Big Buttons, 90dB Extra-Loud Visual Ringer, 50dB Audio Assist, Call Blocker, White

I am very pleased with this phone system. It has a large easy to read screen and large buttons. I love the photo speed dial and call blocker functions. It is very easy to set up. Out of the box the ringer is very loud, but IT CAN be adjusted to a lower level by going through the prompts on the cordless handset. It does have a built in answering machine as well. Phone calls sound crystal clear and you can even boost the sound while on a call or slow down the caller's message while listening to your voice messages on the answering machine which is excellent especially while trying to jot down any notes or phone numbers that the caller leaves. You can even program in reminders for yourself. I have the corded/cordless system and also purchased the extra photo handset extention which works flawlessly with this system. I may get the pendant in the future. I have Voip over service from vonage and all features work great with it including call blocker. I highly recommend this phone system for not just the senior and disabled community, but for anyone who wants an easy to use phone system with large display and excellent sound quality. Also, I was not offered any free incentives for leaving this review. I paid full price for it and I would do it do it again in a heartbeat .💗 💗💗

Purchased along with the VTech SN5307 Amplified Photo DIAL Accessory Handset. Mom was really struggling with her old Panasonic wireless phones. Buttons were to small, screen hard to read...etc. etc. These seemed like an interesting alternative. Mom couldn't be happier! The picture dual buttons seem a little gimmicky, but they really make using the phone much easier. Simply print some pictures of family, add a Name and insert them into the frames. Then just program the numbers/names and you're ready to go! It's a little annoying that the pictures aren't the same size, buts that's a pretty minor thing. One good tip, keep the names you program into the memory simple - once programmed the caller ID will say the name. User will here "Call from Bob" for example and they can easily decide if they want to answer or not. The accessory handset will have the same four numbers programmed as picture dial on the main phone. You can't dial any other numbers from the accessory handset, but you can answer any incoming calls. Yes, the handsets are both battery hogs, if you leave them off the charger overnight they will low the next morning. Just keep them in the charger and they will be ready when you need them. The voice caller ID is great, if you don't here someone you recognize, just don't answer. The speaker phone on the the base, main handset and accessory handset are all pretty good and the range is great. Overall a great choice for anyone who only needs a few programmed contacts, has trouble pushing little buttons and just wants something simple. The instructions are pretty well written and easy to follow. Definitely recommend!

The phone works well. Since this is for elderly people the loudness of the phone is louder than normal and is adjustable. It is easy to program phone numbers for auto dialing. When the phone autodials is done slowly and speaks each number out loud for the user to hear. All 8 buttons are programmable. The picture of the phone shows a red 911 button but this is just for advertising. Each button can be any number you want. Voice quality is OK; it could be better but for the price, it is what you get.

Jan 2023. I have had the Vtech SN5127 for nearly two weeks and this is my initial take on it. My wife and I are in our 70s and our eyesight is not what it once was. I was looking for a home phone with a screen which would be easy to read. To this end, the phone meets the bill. The screen is big and bright making it nice and easy to read. Plus the fact that it announces who is calling is an add in my book. I can make the decision if I want to get off my seat to pick up the phone or not. The set up is simple with the exception of establishing your own phonebook which is a tedious task but a one time deal as long as you don’t make any typos. Much has been written about the difficulty it is to get to your phone book. While I agree it would have been much simpler to have a button to take you to it directly it is not all that challenging to get to it. Yes, you have to hit select and then stroll down three options to get to it but after a few times it becomes second nature. The four speed dial options are terrific although I can't see how you can get pictures that small to fit into the tiny spaces allotted for them. I simply typed up a sheet of paper with our children’s initials on it and used those instead. We added three handsets, SN5107, to the system, all with the large screen and placed them throughout our home. Very easy to set up. Overall, the large bright screen makes up for any other short falls the design might have.

I purchased the phone for my elderly mother who has hearing problem. Reading the description of the phone and was not satisfied with the features. 1. The ring tone supposed to be loud to hear. However, it sounded just like an However, the loudness of the ringtone was just a regular sound. It was not amplify at all. 2. There is static on the phone when she is talking. I tried with another phone that I had and there was no static. 3. The volume to adjust the hearing is standard volume and nothing that is amplify for someone who doesn’t hear that well. 3. The voice of the person she was having a conversation over the phone would fade off. I wanted to make sure that it was not the other person phone and a tried with a different phone and the person on the other end voice did not fade off. So is the quality of the phone that is not good. 4. There is noise and static on the phone. Unable to hear clearly. 5. When speaking on the phone, the other person voice would echo. Again, I tested with another phone that I own, and the person stated there was no longer echo on the conversation. These are my own personal opinion of my experience using the phone.

j'aime savoir qui appelle avant de répondre, ma vue baisse et je vois moins les petits carractères, donc je voulais un téléphone qui me donne le nom de l'appelant, en FRANCAIS. avec des gros caractères sur l'afficheur. Malheureusement il donne les noms d'appelant juste en anglais, donc ça déforme tous les nom français :(. c'est très décevant pour moi, j'AIME beaucoup ce model VT série SN) j'aime les gros carractères, le son emplifier est super pour moi qui entend moins bien juste a cause de mes cheveux blanc :) . Sa couleur est parfaite je veut juste blanc, il se prend bien dans la main , ne glisse pas vu sa forme un peu plate. j'ai pas eu le temps dessayer tous les autres avantage vu que a ma grande déception j'ai du le retourner . j'avais réussi a mettre les instructions en français, mais il parle pas français :( :( Donc si ça ne vous dérange pas qu'il ne parle pas Fraçais , je vous le recommande fortement, pour les personnes qui aime bien entendre en parlant au téléphone ,avec un répondeur, 📱gros caractères, son idéal pour bien comprendre , je l'adore, je l'ai retourner avec regrès, Ont m'a remboursé tout de suite, j'ai pas eu de problème, je ne suis pas habituer a retourner des produits, Service parfait, retour sans problème et remboursement intégral, j'apprécie beaucoup.

Lo compré para mi mamá (adulto mayor) y le ha funcionado de maravilla. Tiene el teclado grande, audio graduable; incluso cuenta con un ecualizador para acentuar los graves y medios lo cual ayuda mucho para sus problemas de oído. La pila tiene buena duración. El altavoz de la base del auricular es muy útil para responder las llamadas en otra habitación. Estamos muy satisfechos con el aparato.

Súper fácil de usar y muy práctico.

This is a great phone for senior's. Large numbers for good visibility, easy to use and the volume can be turned up quit loud.

Phone is easy to use. A bit more complicated to set up, someone has to set up for the person using it.
