ONEXT Care-Phone 6 Reviews

Evaluation 4
Advantages: 1. Large screen with large font.
2. Large backlit buttons. When pressed, it is pronounced.
3. Ability to set the Answer / Release by opening / closing the book.
4. Customizable SOS button.
5. Ability to assign speed dialing with 3 keys M1, M2, M3 and 8 keys 2-9. And that 11 numbers not counting the SOS button.
6. Capacious battery.
7. Reasonable price, for the best functionality.
Disadvantages: 1. The main scourge of the phone is the Volume Rocker located on the side.
And by lowering the volume of the reception during a call and hanging up, Sound can now be raised only in a new conversation.
2. Inconvenient charging plug. The phone is black - the hole is black, you can only poke at random, and you can only insert it in one position.
3. The ring tone is normal only one
Comment: So, how to solve the problems and make a solid 5 of 4k:
1. Pry up the volume rocker, or disassemble the enclosed under the decrease in volume.
You can also grind off / cut the rocker buttons so that you can only press them with your fingernail. (Of course, it's a shame that it has to be done with a warranty phone, although it is not so expensive)
2. We teach the user to charge the phone:
a) Open the lid of the keyboard up
b) Feel for a smooth metal part of the plug.
c) Connect the telephone and plug with the keyboard and the smooth part of the plug.
3. Insert the memory card with the tunes we need.

Advantages: The new revision of the phone (rev 2.0) has two significant advantages compared with the old model: I will mark them in virtues with the numbers 1 and 2.
The SOS button is located on the front panel, has a red color, is easily customizable (which is oddly a problem in such models)
the voice of the dialed digit (male voice) function is outdated, because there are no fingers to dial the whole number.
Speed ​​dialing works (which is not always the case)
Capacious battery - a week in standby mode
Convenient location of the SOS button (in the center of the case)
In the SOS section added two items, uninteresting "CONTROL OF ACTIVITY"
1. and, extremely rarely found, "AUTO DIAL" (actually due to this function and bought revision 2.0) if this function is enabled, then on the third call of a certain subscriber from the section "selected number" there is also in SOS (more ) The phone establishes a connection includes a speakerphone, for the old women are confused and they can press something wrong when trying to talk.
2. When OPENING THE COVER, THE CONNECTION IS SETTLED (who forgot, the phone is a clamshell) the connection is established, and vice versa, the cover is closed - the connection is broken
there is a flashlight (you need a function to turn it off for the battery can devour)

The SOS button allows you to program up to 5 numbers, where calls and SMS will go (however, it was in the first revision)
Disadvantages: VOLUME IS SMALL when talking, extremely small !!, the old woman barely hears where she couldn’t find anything. The only significant flaw in revision 2.0

Holes for the speaker are located on the opposite side of the red SOS button, the old woman did not immediately realize that it was necessary to listen and speak by turning the phone over. The second major disadvantage.

The sound of the siren when the SOS button is triggered is removed, the mother is unhappy, that is, the old woman does not know, press further or can be stopped. In tinctures can not be changed.

Large letters in the menu do not make it clear what this or that function is responsible for (the hint text is not visible (extremely slow menu scrolling)

I do not use radio, I did not study it. The same is true for camera, internet and multimedia.
Comment: Almost perfect phone for the visually impaired. And, not friends with the head, strongly elderly parents.

If you need to call, the owner of the phone presses the red button, the selected caller receives a call (SMS is sent if the call is not made) ... then the right person calls.
If you need to call the owner of the phone, it is possible to set up an automatic redial, it’s enough to call the owner of the phone and after three calls the connection is established and the speakerphone is activated.
Selected phone (as I understand it, maybe three, or even five)

Conclusion, increase the sound level when you call and will be the perfect phone for old women and old people.
Mother 93 years sucked immediately. Old (revision 1.0) gave

An important addition, when buying, look at the sticker on the box "rev 2.0"
and see the SOS menu section for the presence of two sections, activity control and automatic redial.
Personally, I had a correspondence with the manufacturer, this revision is not everywhere. In any case, in stalls near the metro at home, the phone is without a sticker and without these functions (and brought, according to the seller, a week ago). That is, ask the question with the sticker immediately, before purchasing it.

Field tests with a trip to the country and communication with an old woman showed excellent results, a loud call awakens an old woman, and a loud connection, automatically established connection, allows the old woman to answer without opening her eyes ... and sleep further after the call.

Strongly recommend.

About the simok ... Megaphone was tormented by voice advertising, the old woman was waking up. I bought an MTS, a completely new SIM, a new number that did not give anyone .... Three days later the calls went.
I will crawl on tele2 ... there is a tariff without a subscription fee, on which you can turn off the Internet.

Wrinkle the mind ....
and in fact it is time for manufacturers to catch up. Need a function on the phone that does not allow calls (or makes them silent) if they are not marked as favorites

Advantages: Very nice design.
Three hardware green buttons "Favorite number" (M1 / M2 / M3) - a unique feature. You hold the desired one for 1 second, and the call goes by itself, without unnecessary clicks and climbing through the lists of the phone book or call history.
There is a flashlight, bright enough to not get lost in a dark entrance.
The fun function of pronouncing dialed numbers in a male voice (can be disabled in the settings). For fun, if you quickly and in time with the press to press various keys, the phone is even able to portray a primitive speech. Consecutive pressing of 1-2 gives a marching "at-two, at-two". And key 4 simulates the gopnik's "Thou, Thou" mode.
Disadvantages: The most unpleasant drawback is that when pulling off an ack (reset SIM card, SD card), it resets the date-time. The disadvantage of those offended, despite the fact that the other settings do not fly off.
It is better to confirm any saving with the Menu + button, select save, with a simple click on OK, many settings are not saved.
The rest is just a nagging grandmother.
For example, the phone is not for music lovers, the sound is just normal, the headphones plug is uncomfortable on the side, the audio player cannot scroll through the track time and pause (although the video player for some reason can do this) and the funniest thing is that the track stops when the clamshell closes play.
Comment: The phone was taken in February 2018, and many of the shortcomings stated in the previous reviews are absent.
For example, the phone can answer the call by opening the lid, and complete it with the same closing. Simply, this function is turned off by default, but, moreover, it's fucking deeply buried in the settings, and you need to turn it on: Settings - Calls -
Call Settings - Advanced Settings - Answer Mode - Answer Disclosure
covers.
At the same time I thought about the almost similar Care-Phone 5, but I chose this one, since normal screen (not a slot from the mailbox), + three notorious buttons "favorite number".

Advantages: 1. Folding bed.
2. The battery holds a charge for a long time.
3. Speakerphone.
Disadvantages: Heavily pushed buttons.
Comment: I bought this model because I was used to clamshells, it is convenient to place them anywhere, even in a shirt pocket.
All these arguments about the grandmother's phones are far from the truth, most people, by the age of about 80 years, switched to smartphones and are not going to return to the phones.
For me, the main conditions were the shape of the phone and the duration of the battery charge.
After the purchase, the factory charge lasted 4.5 days.
The first charge was enough for 9.5 days, and I specifically counted the talk time. It turned out that the average daily talk time was 10 minutes. Next
The battery charge lasted for 15 days, but I did not count the talk time. Last charge - 17 days.
The phone is not a bad volume, FM radio works without a headset and its audibility is sufficient.
There are many more features, they are described in the instructions.
Now about the shortcomings. The main drawback is the hard-pressed navigation and alphanumeric buttons.
Ringtones can be replaced by your own after downloading them to the memory card. But SMS message tones cannot be replaced. If an album consists of several melodies, then each melody must be re-enabled.
Text files in the TXT format downloaded to the phone are not readable, although the instruction says about the possibility of this action.
There are a number of shortcomings, but I will not list them.
In general, the phone will be useful for lovers of cots,
especially if its price is not very big. I bought for 1750 rubles.

Advantages: Compact, light and loud bell.
Disadvantages: didn't find
Comment: She took a simple phone to her son in the first class, he still can’t keep track of her things, then she will forget, then she will change to something for him. He's already half a year old. And of course he forgot it at school, since conscious people brought him back. According to the functions of a normal phone, the call is loud, keeps the battery for a long time.

Advantages: - Fits perfectly in your pocket.

- The volume level at height. What is a definite plus if the phone will be used by the older generation.

- "SOS" button - to call the gas service, you can quickly call by pressing just one button! It is also good that there is a setting for the button itself.

- Holds a charge for a long time! Lasted about 7 days.
Disadvantages: Personally, my grandfather, did not find shortcomings in it. I saw that when I clicked on the "SOS" button, the other keys stop working, which I consider a minus!
Comment: The phone justifies its price in full.
