Hello all. My friend Anett she is in her 80's she is in the serch for a new
phone. She says she wants a phone that has phyisickle buttens on it this
would be a cell phone btw. She said that she wants one where the keys are
spaced apart enough that she can feel them and there should be a dot on the
five etc. I drew a blank when she asked me about this since I have not seen
a cell phone with phyisickle buttens in quite some time. She says she wants
it to be simple and easy to use. Her cell carrier is telus. Does any one
know of sutch a phone? Many thanks for any help. Btw she has no sight what
so ever. She is blind like me. Many thanks. From Mich.

RuggedGear do very robust android devices which have touch screen and real buttons and built like the proverbial tank. Built to
military/civil eng/security grade. Often include other interesting features like a massive battery capacity and very powerful LED
torch. But the basic phone and buttons is good to handle. Price not that mad compaired to all the smart thins out there the rest
of you get.

Hth, R.

Mich, while I'm not from canada and don't know about all the flip phones that are available there, I went on to the telus web page which is
www.telus.com
The only flip phone that was mentioned on the page was the
alcatel go flip phone.
This phone has the full readout, all the menues talk on the phone. I have this phone for a t& t here in oklahoma city, oklahoma and it has the marking on the 5. It has a icon radio, so you could listen to local fm radio. It has a browser in the phone so one can go on the internet.I have another alcatel which is another model of the acatel flip phone for consumer cellular which is very much the same as the alcatel go flip phone. The only difference is the phone for consumer cellular has the numbers in raised print on the number keypad. While the phone talks all the menues in the phone, so you could type a text message and type in contacts. The only drawback on the acatel phones are is if you go to write a text message while you can press the pound key if you need to capatalize a letter you can press the pound key once and the phone will say capatalize. I think it's the pound key that brings up the symbals such as the period, at sign, comma and so on, but it doesn't talk, and if you press the 1 key which on other phones is how you can hear the symbols it doesn't say anything. So your friend would be able to type in her contacts if that's something she feels that she could do. If she was into writing text messages she could write short messages, but it's kind of hard not being able to type the symbols. also it has email you could set up whcih I haven't tried to set up. As far as writing text messages the ones I've tried writing, it doesn't seem to read the message as it does on other flip phones I have. There's a calculator in the phone, which is accessible. The calendar is very accessible too. It all depends on how much or less your friend does in operating the phone, she could do a number of things with the acatel. I couldn't find the phone number for telus to find out if they had any other flip phones. I couldn't find it on the telus web page, so maybe I'll do a search for the number. Of course the other phones they were telling about on the page, where accessibility is concerned is the smart phones, the s8 and the different iphones. I always wondered about the flip phones for other countries, but whenever I've asked no one answered to tell about them, so I guess most people have smart phones. Hopefully someone knows about the other flip phones that are available in canada and I'll look into it a bit more to see if I could find the phone number for telus to find out about other flip phones they have.
