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 as soon as it's plugged in, but the photo buttons need to be programmed and the photos prepared. A family member can do this in about half an hour using the instructions, so guided setup fits better than fully self-serve.

What it is

Summary

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

The Photo Phone is a corded telephone with 9 picture buttons, so you can call someone by touching their photo instead of dialing a number. It also has regular number keys, which means the whole household can use it. For people with hearing loss, it amplifies sound up to 10 times (20 dB) with automatic tone enhancement, and it works with hearing aid t-coils. It is a good fit if remembering or dialing numbers is hard, or if phone volume is a problem. It comes with three photo frames, and you'll need to print or cut photos to fit the small photo spaces. Because it is corded, it must stay plugged into a phone line, though it can also be mounted on a wall.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the phone into your phone line. The regular number keys work right away for normal dialing.
  • With a guide
    1. Program each photo button with a phone number by following the instructions that come with the phone.
    2. Trim your photos to fit the small photo spaces (about 1 x 0.75 inches) and slide them into the frames.
    3. Adjust the amplification and tone settings while on a call to find what's comfortable. Plan on about 20-30 minutes in total.
