A truly simple to use
Big Button Phone
The Konnekt Big Button Phone is the world’s simplest telephone.
It’s designed specifically for seniors and those with memory loss, hearing difficulties, poor eyesight, unsteady hands, or limited dexterity—anyone who finds regular phones or tablets frustrating to use. The Konnekt Big Button Phone features one-touch calling to multiple contacts, hands-free auto-answering, and even face-to-face video calling with family and friends.
Also known as the Konnekt Videophone, it’s the ultimate big button phone for your elderly parent, grandparent, or someone you care about.

Stay Connected — Easily and Independently
The Konnekt Big Button Phone makes calling family, friends, and carers simple and stress-free. It’s designed to reduce isolation and restore independence.
- Supports two-way video and audio calls with mobile phones, tablets (including iPads), computers, and other Konnekt phones
- Can also call regular landline phones, not just smart devices
- Optional Call Button can dial multiple contacts in sequence — perfect for reaching a group of carers or someone with several phone numbers or Skype IDs
- No numbers or usernames to remember — just tap a name or photo to call
- Helps reduce loneliness and provides a vital connection to support and care
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
The Konnekt Videophone isn’t just for video calls — it can also make regular phone calls.
- Each contact button can be set to call a Skype Name, a standard phone number, or both in sequence
- An optional large on-screen dial pad lets you enter any phone number manually (availability may vary by country)
- During a call, the screen clearly shows who you’re talking to — either the person’s name (e.g. “You are talking to Fred”) or the number (e.g. “You are talking to 555 5555”)
Whether you’re calling a mobile, landline, or a Skype contact, it’s all just one tap away — with no numbers to remember.
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.

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.
