Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The phone works for basic calls once it is plugged in, but getting the most from it takes some setup. You will want to set the volume and ringer, program the feature keys, and learn the key layout. A family member can do all of this with the instructions, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

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

The Scitec 55S-c is a single-line desk phone with a built-in speakerphone and caller ID, made for people who have trouble hearing a standard phone. It has a volume control that meets HAC/ADA hearing-aid compatibility standards, plus an OFF/HI/LO ringer switch. A one-touch light bar signals voice mail, and five programmable keys let you set up your own shortcuts. It also has hold, flash, redial, mute, and transfer/conference keys, and it works with Centrex/PBX office phone systems, so it can fit in a workplace as well as at home. Because it has so many keys and settings, expect to spend a little time learning the layout.
