Imagine a phone that feels like home; simple, familiar, and built around ordinary needs. That's TTfone’s ethos, straightforward mobile devices that make staying in touch effortless for those who don't want complexity.


Various mobile phones are shown in different settings. A smiling person holds one device. Bright colors and icons are visible throughout.

Why TTfone Phones Shine for Elderly & Disabled Users


  1. Big, tactile buttons - strikingly clear, well spaced, perfect for shaky hands or low vision. No fumbling, no frustration. 

  2. Talking buttons - keypad feedback spoken aloud as you dial, so you know exactly what you're pressing. 

  3. SOS/panic buttons - one press dials up to five preset contacts and can send your location if supported, giving peace of mind.

  4. Dock charging cradles - no fiddly cables, just pop the phone down and it charges like an old cordless home phone. Perfect for those with reduced flexibility. 

  5. Loud speakers & ringtones - hands-free clarity and loud volume so communication is crystal and dependable.
