What Makes a Simply Big Phone?

When we say simply big phone, we mean it. The BigPurplePhone isn’t just a regular smartphone with a few tweaks—it’s been purpose-built from the ground up for ease of use. With extra-large buttons, a high-contrast screen, loud and clear audio, and a simplified interface, this phone does what a phone should: call, text, and connect—without the confusion.


Designed for Seniors, Not Just Simplified

The idea behind a simply big phone isn’t to "dumb down" modern technology, but to remove the barriers that often make today’s devices inaccessible. The BigPurplePhone team worked closely with seniors, carers, and accessibility experts to create a phone that prioritises clarity, safety, and technology confidence.

Here’s how the BigPurplePhone stands out:


Large Icons & Text – No more squinting. Everything from photo-led contact lists to menus is easy to see and read with high contrasting menus and colours.
✅ Big Buttons – Responsive, big and easy to press. The BigPurplePhone also comes with a stylus, helping people use the phone if users have arthritis or limited dexterity.
Simple Navigation – No confusing folders or tiny app icons. Everything is laid out clearly, with helpful prompts. The BigPurplePhone ribbon is the home screen, just one scroll! Say goodbye to accidental button pressing.

Full Screen Notifications - Never miss a call or text with a full screen notification. If your senior is away, when they open their phone next, the notification will cover the screen.
Safe Callers List – Blocks spam and hoax calls, letting only trusted contacts through.
Emergency Help Button – With one press, users can reach a loved one or support.


It’s not trying to be the next high-tech gadget. It’s just a simply big phone that works.

A Big Phone, Without the Big Learning Curve

While many modern smartphones can take hours—or even days—to learn, the BigPurplePhone can be mastered in minutes. That’s a huge relief for both users and their families. The phone also comes with access to real human support if help is ever needed, further removing the stress of using technology.


Whether it’s a text from the grandkids or a call to a close friend, communication should feel natural—not frustrating. That’s why so many families are choosing BPP’s simply big phone as the ideal solution.


The simplicity isn’t just on the screen. From unboxing to daily use, everything about this phone is designed to be intuitive. There are no confusing updates, no hidden settings, and no cluttered menus—just what you need, when you need it. It’s truly a simply big phone in every sense.

Not Just Bigger – Smarter, Safer, Simpler

What sets the BigPurplePhone apart from other phones for seniors, is that it’s not just a phone with a big screen—it’s a full support system in your pocket. With built-in safety features like the Help button, Safe Callers List, and call-blocking technology, this simply big phone gives users and their families confidence and peace of mind.


Plus, the phone doesn’t allow unwanted pop-ups, spam messages, or access to risky downloads—making it a smarter and safer choice for older adults who don’t want the stress of navigating modern tech minefields.

A Simply Big Phone That Keeps You Connected

A simply big phone, such as the BigPurplePhone, is all about meaningful connection. It’s easy to add photos of loved ones to the contact list, making it possible to dial just by tapping a familiar face. This picture-led contact system makes staying in touch as easy as a single tap.


Whether it’s a video chat on Wi-Fi, a photo shared through text, or a simple “good morning” message, the BigPurplePhone helps users stay involved in the lives of those they care about most.

Why Families Are Switching to Simply Big Phones

Many carers, children, and grandchildren are making the switch from standard smartphones to BigPurplePhones because it reduces stress, confusion, and tech support calls.
