Snapfon ez ONE Cell Phone Review

Conclusions

The Snapfon is made by a division of VisiKey, a company long known for their large print keyboards. Certainly, the large numbers on the Snapfon will be welcome to the vision impaired as will the talking keypad feature. The loud volume will be welcome by those with hearing impairments. And both of these features will be welcome by seniors. Yet, the Snapfon is a perfectly capable phone for anyone who wants a simple-to-use cell phone. Anyone who is looking for a cell phone as a wireless lifeline to emergency help will find the Snapfon quite capable and the S.O. S. feature quite compelling.

The Snapfon totally lives up to its advertising – it is easy to see and easy to use. Because the cell phone is unlocked, you can choose your own service and service plan. If you are purchasing this phone for a senior or someone with disabilities, it can be set up with the proper numbers and settings and be given to that person. They will be thrilled with the ease of everyday use. And it offers them an emergency lifeline without an additional monthly fee.

Even baby boomers who are not interested in a smart phone may be happy to have a phone that doesn’t require them to put on their glasses just to see the buttons. At USD 100, this is also a fairly inexpensive way to get a good cell phone. All-in-all, this is a very capable phone with some nice features that could be used by anyone who just wants a phone for everyday communications and to use in emergency situations.
