Big Button Phone

A truly simple to use

Big Button Phone

The Konnekt Big Button Phone is the world’s simplest telephone.

It’s a big button phone designed specifically for seniors and those with memory loss, hearing problems or poor eyesight, wobbly hands or misbehaving fingers, and those who might be frustrated trying to use a regular phone or tablet. The Konnekt Big Button Phone offers one-touch calling to multiple destinations, one-touch hands-free answering, and even offers face-to-face calling to family and friends.

Known as the Konnekt Videophone, it is the ultimate big button telephone for your elderly parent, grandparent or the person you care about.

Assistive Technologies for Seniors - Big Button Phone

The Konnekt Big Button phone can have two-way video and audio calls with almost any device including mobiles, iPads/tablets, computers and other Konnekt phones.  This is ideal for mitigating loneliness and social isolation. In addition, the Konnekt can also call regular landline telephones.

Konnekt can set up a Call Button to dial multiple devices and phones. This is great for calling a group of helpers in turn, or a person with one or more phone numbers and/or Skype Names who might otherwise be hard to reach. Best of all, there are no numbers or IDs to remember, whatsoever. Just one tap! Finally, a device that restores independence.

Research shows: Those without FACE-TO-FACE contact with FAMILY or FRIENDS at least 3 TIMES PER WEEK have DOUBLE the risk of DEPRESSION. Furthermore, feelings of loneliness predict dementia onset.

Call Phone Numbers Too

Each speed-dial call button can be configured to call either a Skype Name, a standard telephone number (subject to your plan), or both (one after the other).

Do you need to be able to dial numbers? No problem! The Konnekt Videophone has an optional on-screen dial-pad, with very large digits, enabling you to call standard phone numbers. Please check with us regarding availability in your country.

During standard phone calls, the screen will display “You are talking to Fred” (if you’re talking to a known contact) or “You are talking to 555 5555” (for example) if you’ve called a phone number.

Automatic Answer Option

The Konnekt Big Button Videophone offers selective auto-answer:

Do you ever worry when you call your elderly friend or relative, but they don’t answer? With Konnekt, incoming calls from only trusted Contacts that you nominate are automatically answered, after (say) thirty seconds. This enables care-givers and trusted family to check-in, to check on health and happiness, to check that there hasn’t been a fall, and — in the event of an emergency — to quickly look to see what’s wrong.

Unlike other phones and tablet-based products, only a nominated subset of your contacts will be automatically answered.

This feature has helped to save two lives already. Read Judy and Cheryl’s story.

Contact Photos

Each speed-dial call button can show either a name, an image, or both.

Customers living with low vision like to show just a short name or initials in huge text (up to 7 cm or over 2 inches tall).

Many of our customers like to include the relationship on the button text, right beside a photo. For example, “Bob my son”, beside a photo of Bob’s face. This is particularly useful for helping remember all the grandkids and family members, if you have many relatives!

Use It Anywhere in the Home

The Konnekt phone needs no phone line. In fact, it doesn’t even need a phone service.

We can pre-configure your Konnekt phone to connect automatically to your home Wi-Fi. Or you can use our Quick Start Guide.

You’ll be able to use your phone anywhere that there is a power outlet.

Many of our customers like their Konnekt Videophone to sit on a small side table, beside and just in front of their favourite chair, so that it’s within easy reach. Other customers like it to be wall-mounted, or attached to a monitor arm so they can swing it easily in front of their chair or bed.

What if you don’t have Wi-Fi? No problem, the Konnekt phone can also connect to your Internet modem/router via a standard network cable. In some countries, Konnekt or Konnekt’s sales/support partners can help you with Internet.
