My wife has had a mobile phone for a number of years (can not say the name but it could be a fruit juice) but she has been forgetting to understand how to use it lately, everything is a massive problem
So, a couple of days ago I decided to trade in her 'fruit' phone for a well known search engine one (top of the range all singing all dancing, does everything type)
Well My OH only wants to be able to make calls to 6 family members so my son and I spent the day setting up this all singing and dancing phone to disable all Apps, email, SMS, settings etc. to turn it into a phone that only makes calls, does nothing else but makes calls
I found an app that has 6 big buttons (on the start up screen) that you can put a picture of the person she wants to call so all she has to do now is to push the side button to turn it on, then tap a face to call, that's it, this is all that this phone will do, it will only call and receive calls to and from the 6 people that is on the phone now
It will not take calls from any other number that is not in her contact information, it will not accept e-mail or SMS messages and she can not change or add anything extra as the settings / options is protected by a password known only to myself and my son.
Well, after turning everything off my son and I looked at each other and said "Really" but when we gave it to my wife she was so impressed she cried
Basically she has a phone that has 6 pictures and when she taps a picture it immediately calls the person she wants to talk to
It was the best £100 I have ever spent (+£8 for the App)
