Setup with instructions A family member can set this up with the manual in about half an hour, since it plugs in like a regular phone. Tuning the amplification and tone to the user's hearing and turning on the talking features takes a bit of guidance, so it is a guided setup rather than plug-and-play.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The AltoPlus is a corded-style desk speakerphone that makes calls louder and easier to follow. It boosts incoming sound up to 53 dB and your own voice up to 15 dB, and its ringer reaches 100 dBA. For seeing who is calling, it has large backlit buttons, a tilting display with big text, and a talking keypad and talking Caller ID that announce callers as the phone rings. The volume and tone controls are simple and ergonomic, which helps if gripping small controls is hard. It also has a built-in speakerphone and three one-touch speed dial buttons.
