One that has big buttons, and a large, clear, bright screen which can be easily read.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, it should also make phone calls. <\/p>\n<p>Other feature, like having a camera, a fully comprehensive address book, the ability to play games, the need to watch movies are significantly less important. To the point of being a &#8220;who cares?&#8221; factor.<\/p>\n<p>So, rather than spending $500 to $1000 dollars on a smartphone that gives them features that they simply don&#8217;t need or want (and will never use), put your credit card back into your wallet and check out Telstra&#8217;s EasyCall 2 mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very simple phone, with just the essential features, and it also has the large buttons and big clear screen that makes it ideal for use by those who may have a minor vision impairment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your dad is around my age (or older) then one of the things that you may have notices is that his eyesight has probably not been getting any better.
