Andy –
Pretty happy with this phone. Its got nice big buttons, can even dial without my glasses! being a technophobe i found the charging cradle surprisingly easy to use. The dual sim feature is pretty useful, not much use at home but handy when on holiday. I did like the SOS feature, can make quick calls to an emergency contact just on one button.
Also great service by the team. Thank you.
