First, the phone was delivered without any instruction manual so I had to find things on my own. I wanted a simple basic flip phone so my first impression was this would be just perfect. However, things went south quickly. Inconsequential differences were immediately apparent such as limited selection of ring tones and backgrounds. However, a fully charged battery, with little to no use throughout the day, barely lasts the day; for comparison, my old phone battery would go three days without a charge. No matter the setting you choose, the "back-light" on the phone stays on for extended periods which I believe is the main contributing factor. Three weeks into owning the phone, with very little usage, the menu buttons started to function intermittently. The keyboard is extremely sensitive and often requires multiple pecks before registering the selection. I have found that a "light" touch is the preferred method for this phone. Reception is intermittent at the office. This may have something to do with my location but my old phone didn't have near the reception issues this phone does. I almost always have to go outside to get a good signal. Texting can be frustrating on this phone too. If you select the incorrect "backup" key while typing, strange characters (usually the letter "s") begin to appear on screen and many times will not go away; cancelling and starting over is the only good solution. This is very frustrating when approaching the end of a long text message. The physical aspects of the phone seem very good; I would even suggest "robust". It's a little larger than my previous flip-phone (one reason I chose this brand, for the larger screen) and the colors are pleasing. I also like that when the phone is in my pocket I don't accidentally turn down the phone volume; that was a huge problem with my previous phone. I'm sure it's possible I just got a lemon and I need to continue to make lemonade for as long as I need to. Finally, the only reason I did not attempt to return the phone (it's still just one month since purchase) is that I was so excited when it came that I tossed the original packaging. According to the warranty, original packaging is required for return/refund. The amount of use it gets (I'm not a big phone person; two to three calls per day plus a couple of texts) doesn't justify replacing it just yet.Read full review

I live this fone better then the new one's they have now because you can make the font size bigger and it's much easier to use then the new ones.

This is an excellent flip phone. It is a fairly small size with a large display and large buttons. It works very well for making calls and texting. My previous phone was a Nokia 6350, and I like the Doro 7050 much better than the Nokia.

I received exactly what I ordered. It took some time to get used to the phone since I've never used this one before, but now I've had it for awhile and I like it. I had a 3G phone and needed a 4G. My provider's SIM card works just fine with it. Many of the other reviewers seem to have problems that can be solved with the settings on the phone. The manual can be found online, as almost all manuals can. Even though I don't use it, the phone has Internet access which makes it a tad bigger and heavier than my previous flip phone. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that to me the phone looks like a toy cellphone. But that certainly doesn't affect it's operation, which is fine by me. I hope to use this phone for a long time.

My dad is 98 and had to upgrade his phone. The one he got was very different from the one he had. This one was very similar. There are arrows on the keys you need to use to go up and down which is very helpful. Also, contacts very easy to access and favorite easy to set up. He really likes this phone a lot…
