TTfone Mercury 2 (TT200) Pay As You Go - Prepay - Payg - Big Button Basic Senior Mobile Phone - Simple - with Dock (O2 Bundle with 10 Credit, Black)

Now this I do like, easy to use Ideal for those with bad eye sight & clumsy hands.Not too bulky, however, removing the back of the casing could be made a lot easier.

nothing to dislike .simple like me

The phone was purchased for my mother, and I purchased it with the SIM card as well as I thought it would be easier. However, once I tried to put credit on the phone, (the SIM card was contained in O2 paperwork), I was told when I phoned the top up line that this number was not O2 but Tesco mobile. So I went into Tesco mobile site, blissfully unaware that the site had been hacked and that my payment had been directed to scammers. I contacted Tesco’s, who said the number wasn’t even theirs. So I’m ditching the sim and getting a another one, as it doesn’t appear to belong to O2 or Tesco’s. Please just be careful - I don’t know what happened but don’t let this happen to you. The phone is fine as far as I know, easy to programme etc. Hopefully that will work well with a new sim, otherwise I will be returning the whole lot and buying from a phone shop direct.

I rarely write reviews, but I am so upset I feel that I have to. I purchased this mobile phone for my parents, who can't handle anything vaguely technical. I also needed to purchase a sim card so when I saw this I thought it was ideal. Well, the phone took about a week or so to arrive. The instructions to assemble it were really simple, but when I put the phone on to charge...nothing happened. I was a little worried, but thought, 'OK, I'll wait a little longer.' When the phone screen remained blank, I tried charging it on the phone dock. Still nothing. I contacted TTfone's customer service via email, and they were pretty quick to respond, giving me a list of troubleshooting options. Even though I'd tried them already, I gave it another shot. But even after supposedly charging up all night, the phone remained dead the next morning. It showed NO sign it was being charged, or had finished charging. The screen remained absolutely blank. It wouldn't switch on, regardless of how long I pressed the red 'On' button for. I'm assuming that the battery I received was a dud?I asked TTfone for a refund, and they provided a link to a pre-paid label to print off, and when I told them I don't have a printer, they gave me a returns address which I have to pay, and then told me to send them the postage receipt so they could refund that also.I ordered a mobile phone from a different company which happily worked. However...when it came to topping up using the top up voucher I received from TTfone, Vodafone wouldn't recognise the top up number, no matter how many times I keyed it in. The automated voicemail just says "Sorry, we didn't get that. Please key in your 12 digit top up number." I tried again. And again. Nope, Vodafone won't recognise the number.I don't know if I was just unlucky, but on the whole, this has been a pretty awful experience. I don't know what to make of this, but I can't help feel I've been scammed. Merry Christmas to me!

My mother can make any product look bad. However, this one is holding up.

I purchased this for my mum who has severe arthritis, which means she needs a mobile with big buttons.Her previous mobile which was a Big Button Easy to Use Senior Mobile had packed up & i couldnt find the exact same phone, so i thought i would get this for her as it was a good price & appeared to be very similar to her last phone.The buttons are large & the screen is clear & it also has "speaking number buttons" which is ideal for the visually impaired to help them make a call. It also has an sos button, which is ideal for an older person & very easy to set up & can give their family peace of mind that the sos is there if needed.The memory is very small so you do need to delete messages very regularly & the battery also needs charging more often that a lot of these types of mobiles.But its a plain & simple mobile with a selection of ringtones & a good volume.If my mum "a complete technophobe" can use this phone, then anyone can get to grips with it lol.

I bought this for my elderly mother and at last she has a phone that she is able to use.

I is a handly little phone; that does what I want. Making phonecalls. Thats all I need. Texting and all that rubish does not interest me. I mainly bought it in case the car breaks down. Simple layout. Simple features. Much louder then my previoud mobil and easy to set up. Would deffinetely recoment.
