Customer review: "Very simple to set up and use. An excellent basic phone. I opted to use a 1p Mobile SIM card and that was equally easy to set up. If you don't want a smartphone then this is ideal. Very easy to navigate the menu and make choices and selections. Perfect for my needs."

With all the standard features of a Doro, this phone also has both an internal and external display. Any notifications will show on the small screen so you don't have to flip open your phone every time. It's hearing aid compatible and has a camera, Bluetooth and a handy torch.

Customer review: "An excellent phone, a present for my mother who is severely disabled with rheumatoid arthritis. She has found it easy to use, this is a newer model to what she had previously. All in all it does what is says on the box."

This smartphone version of the Doro comes with Google Assistant built-in with Maps, Gmail, YouTube etc., a torch, high-speed Wi-Fi and a touchscreen. The audio boost function allows you to increase in-call volume by 20 per cent. Plus, you have the option to download other apps too. We think this would be a great option if you're used to using an Android device, or if you're looking for something highly intuitive and a little more simple.

Customer review: "I am recommending this to all my friends. Not a cheap phone, but worth every penny to me. Very intuitive, and responsive, has great battery life and has excellent features in terms of sound, font size and brightness. I use it on Bluetooth to stream music for a dance group and have confidence in it. I liked my old Doro and this is even better. It's not 'an old person's phone' but a good phone for internet browsing, banking, music etc. Now my constant companion."

This newer model from Doro is designed to be as simple as possible for an elderly relative. It has a loud, clear sound, is hearing aid compatible and has a simplified three-button keypad to instantly call three contacts you rely on. While you can't send messages, you can receive them and the Response by Doro service means that 'responders' can be alerted to your needs, location and safety. Get help at your fingertips or contact a loved one with the simple press of a button. This phone would be a great option if you're worried about your own wellbeing or that of an elderly family member, especially if they live alone.

Customer review: "I bought this for a family member who lives by herself and is developing dementia. She needed something for when the landline phone goes down, where you can make phone calls by pushing one button, or two at the most. This phone is expensive, but it's the only one that fitted the bill. Press two buttons to call, one button to signal an emergency – that's it. Now it's there in her house, she keeps it in the charging cradle, and I can log on to the My Doro website and check remotely where the phone is and whether it's charged."

This Doro 1370 camera phone is ideal for anyone who requires a wider screen when needing to message or view photos. In fact, three keys take you right to texting, a handy torch or a little camera. This is so easy to use. Take photos in a snap, and enjoy easier use thanks to the widely spaced, convex keys. Plus, it has FM radio for your listening pleasure and an assistance button for greater peace of mind.

Customer review: "I bought it for a parent who is anti-mobile following a health scare. It has good features, clear numbers and positive buttons. I have set it up for simple single key press shortcuts and it has an emergency feature that will round Robin call up to five numbers as well as text. Quite happy with this based on what we needed."
