Good
I bought this phone to use in Cowes week. The course for dinghies was sent by text message which is difficult to read in strong sunlight.This phone is almost unique for good visibility in sunlight. Pity you can't add words to the dictionary. eg your home town.
Telephone look good but cannot read the maual -print to small.
The telephone is just what I wanted but I cannot use it as I cannot read the User manual - the print is far too small and quite useless.
Bluechip BC5i Big Button Mobile Phone
i bought this phone and i sent to turkey for my grandad he use now and he is very happy because he cant use other mobile phones.price is very chip phone is perfect...
Does what it says on the tin
Loud ring.
Easy to use buttons.
Emergency button works but because it sends a text message first is a bit slow making the call connections. Great that if the first emergency number is not available, it has two alternatives that can also be programmed.
Even if you do not need the above, it would make a good emergency spare to keep in the car.
Poor operating instructions and too small to read.
Instructions do not match the mobile in fact I would think in parts refered to an earlier model?As this is the first one I`ve had I`m gradualy getting there by trial and error. However I think it`s a great little buy.Value for money ! D.M.
At long last
My mother had been looking for a mobile for months and resigned herself to the fact companies dont make simple function phones anymore. Her eyesight is poor due to Glocoma and all she wanted was a phone to make and recieve calls and texts. After reading a review on the BC5i and the very reasonable price i thought there is nothing to lose buying it without trying it. She was over the moon!! Screen could be bigger and background colour a better design but the speaking dial leave no room for error. She is able to maintain her independance at 73yrs. Sometimes 'Less is More'
Not really suitable
This is a large button mobile phone presumably for use by people with hearing, sight and dextrity problems. The spoken numbers on the keypad (4 is mostly indestinguishable from "O". Only the numbers dialled are large, the address book etc. is small and complex to use. For arthritic hands holding the phone is impossible without accidentally pressing the buttons/switches on the side.
The Perfect Gift
This is the second such phone I have purchased. The first was for my mother who suffers from arthritis in her fingers and now I found another, even cheaper for an elderly friend who uses his fingers with difficulty following a stroke.
A simple phone, of sound quality and easy to use and operate!
User Manual
Whilst the phone meets my expectations. The manual is not fit for purpose; the print is too small and very poor quality. I have enlarged it with Serif and printed it in A4 but the symbols are not clearly defined. Please make it available online as a PDF file.
Bluechip BCi Big Button Mobile Phone
I ordered two of these phones for my elder parents in law, one worked, but the other kept shutting down when you turned it on, this phone had no plastic protector over the screen, perhaps it was a faulty one sent out by mistake!

The quality of the phones leaves much to be desired but hey, they are not the most expensive are they.

One point I would like to make though,the facility where you operate the emergency button, if you do not get an answer the phone automatically rings the next programmed no, but the problem is most people have an answer phone, so when this operates the phone thinks that someone has taken the call, so this facility of ringing the second number will only work if the number has no answer phone.
ideal phone for visually impaired
Bought this phone for my 78 year old father who is virtually blind and only has limited use of his left hand. The larger buttons which can be programmed to speak the numbers worked well and we both liked the panic button on the back of the phone. The phone is excellent value for money, the only down side being the extremely poor quality of the instruction manual - eg no instructions as to how to set up speed dial facility - which is vital to someone with limited manual dexterity who cannot read the screen easily. I eventually worked out how to do it after several hours - I phoned mobile fun twice for tech support, but they didn't know how to do it either!
Simple Handset
The handset is great for the elderly, it is simple to use & see with large keys & display.
Shame the instruction manual is in such small print, you need a magnifying glass to read it !!!
OVERALL QUITE GOOD
Bought this for my elderly parents to replace a very old mobile phone whose battery had died. Phone is basic and okay for occasional use and they are happy with it, even though I don't find it so intuitive to use. It has additional features such as a radio and a torch, which some people will find unnecessary.
xmas gift
Was extremely pleased with speed of delivery. I have set it up for my husband as it will be his xmas gift. Currently he insists he doesnt want a mobile but I think he will be pleased when he realises he has only to press one button. Nice and big buttons. Fingers crossed he will like it. Instructions could be clearer though.
BC5i Big Button Review
Being visually impaired, this is an ideal phone. Easy to use, the speaking number confirms if you are dialling the right digits or not, small and light, no unneccesary extras - simplicity in it's self, Ideal for those with sight problems or whose fingers aren't as nimble. It did seem to me to be quite ironic that the instruction leaflet is in such small print !!!!
A Good Solution
This phone has proven to be the ideal solution to cope with my wifes eyesight problems.She can now use the phone with confidence and the voice over numbers system is a great help.
The supply service was great and the after sales service was also good.
Excellent phone
Grea tphone.
A pity that selling a phone to people with eysight needing big buttons is supplied with a manual you need a magnifying glass to read.

Their Managing Director must be short sighted.
Spot on mobile
This mobile meets my need for an easy to use and simple phone. Big plus is that it is easy to read and sending texts is now a pleasure. Emergency button very re-assuring. Simple lock/unlock switch and brilliant torchlight. Just used it in a power cut!
completely lacks street cred and my grandchildren just laugh. I love it!.
Nearly perfect...
My grandpa just purchased this mobile from his local tesco store. He then asked me to sit down with him to transfer his contacts into his phonebook and show him the ropes. Before I go into the negatives, the positives are all great for a user of hard hearing and poor sight - big buttons, loud tones, being able to put the backlight on constantly, the torch and the sos. Unfortunately the functionality is terrible. The green and red buttons (for yes/no on/off) are not clear enough. Why not have yes and no written on them? also, to find the menu or phonebook is too difficult - why not have these functions written onto the buttons? it was very difficult for my grandpa to remember the functionality of these buttons. Once he had figured out where the phonebook was, when he pressed on a contact he then had to choose 'call contact'. This is a ridiculous functionality - you should be able to press the yes button straight away on your contact to call them. This phone just needs a few tweaks from someone who really knows what the target audience want from this sort of device.
Product well received
Even though my father does not admit to being nearer 90 than 21, he's found this product super. Easy to see, hear and with large buttons easy to avoid keing the wrong number. My equally old mother also likes the security of the SOS button. Magic!
Just what my mum needed
I bought this product for my mum and she is so happy with it.
She can hear her phone ring now, and also hear people talking to her.
Best thing i could have bought for her.
The SOS sends a text to me saying help, Then i phone her to see if she is ok.
PERFECT
A real life saver...
A rather dramatic title for this review I know but given the circumstances I hope I'll be forgiven. My elderly father being very ill, my mother needs help with him at all times of the day and night. The Bluechip sounded very useful. Upon opening the box everything is clearly laid out and really very easy to use. I simply programmed one number (ours) into the phone and gave it to my mother. All she has to do is hit the large orange button on the rear of the phone and mine receives a text immediately saying "Emergency" followed by the ring tone. I can then be there.The peace of mind is priceless and for such little cost you should not hesitate. Quite simply buy one
At Last!!
A mobile my wife can use without her glasses (which she steadfastly insiste that she doesn't need!). My only criticism being that someone needs to invent a mobile that turns itself on and off as it seems my wife hasn't yet got to grips with that concept. A great piece of kit, shame about the shortcomings of it's user who is never going to grasp the intricacies of anything tecnological except the TV remote!!
Excellent phone
I'm partially sighted and this phone is a Godsend the numbers are easy to see even for me. It arrived with no charger but I submitted a support ticket and had my charger delivered the very next day.

Very speedy service from Mobilefun.
not great
Phone delivered fast, setup easy and brillient phone for my dad! worked for about 2 weeks then stopped charging! sent back for replacement but told it will need to go off for repair. Used phone for 2-3 weeks and its been out of action for 4-6 weeks. Great phone when its working but pitty about build quality. Not sure when I will get it back, and this was my first purchase from mobile fun and I am not having much fun.
