Gigaset has presented a phone especially adapted for elderly people’s needs. Combined ergonomics and clever functions make daily use easier: the E550 phone wants to be “the best ally” for seniors, and an answer to all requirements “with great simplicity”.
The E550 Gigaset: an easy to use phone
The E550 Gigaset was designed to be adapted for the elderly’s needs and for people looking for simplicity in a phone.
It has an easy setup thanks to the “Plug & play” function: say farewell to the traditional annoying manual of instructions and its complicated schema. All you have to do is connecting the phone on the electrical outlet and turning it on to make it functional.
The E550 Gigaset has an illuminated panorama colourised display (1.8”) with extra-large digits which guarantees an optimal use even for eyeglass wearers. Moreover, its large keys make dialing easy.
It is equipped with the Gigaset patented technology with an echo canceler that offers a high sound quality. Furthermore, the hand-free function is compatible with hearing aid devices. If necessary, the user can increase the phone volume thanks to the “Audio Boost” key.
The E550 Gigaset has an important autonomy; indeed, the phone can stay 320 hours on standby mode and 14 hours in communication. This autonomy allows users to be easy to contact permanently without constantly having to put the handset on the charger base.

I really like this phone, and not only for eldery, i’m currenly using one because i have big fingers, i just can’t stand those miniaturized gadgets, + yes i’m getting old, it’s getting harder to read on small screens. The little navigation button in the middle is too small though, i usually have to use a pen to be able to scroll through all the menus in the phone.
