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

Setup with instructions The phone is simple to use day to day, but it isn't ready out of the box. Someone has to connect it, add the photos, and program each number, and that works best with the instruction booklet in hand. A family member can usually finish this in about half an hour, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

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

This corded, single-line amplified phone lets you call a favorite person by pressing their photo. It has eight frames that hold pictures, each one a one-touch dial button, plus three more one-touch memory buttons. The big-button keypad is easy to read, and the handset boosts sound by up to 40dB with a tone control to shape how it sounds. The ringer is adjustable up to 85 dB, and there's a bright visual ringer for missed rings. A speakerphone sits in the base, and the phone is hearing aid compatible. It sits on a table or mounts on a wall, and there's a 2.5mm headset jack if you prefer hands-free. You'll need an active phone line, and someone has to load the photos and program the numbers before it's useful.
