BigPurplePhone Features

Our buttons are large and are in one line down the phone. Its a fun phone to use, we say like a poker machine style of navigation. Scroll up and down easily.

Make phone calls using picture driven contact list. Adding contacts is easy. Add picture by sending a SMS with a photo to the phone, or take a photo and save it to the contact.

Now with an extra large, accessible dial pad. Numbers pop out, and a slight haptic pulse buzzes when a button is pressed.

Ideal for unsteady hands and fat fingers! Simply speak and the message will be typed for you.

Texting has never been easier with the one layer large high contrast keyboard. All the buttons you need one one layer means no hunting for numbers or emojis!

Simple button on the screen to turn on the torch and brightness control (pictured). The phone uses the standard android volume settings so you can adjust ring toneand volume.

With one click, see the current temperature and the weekly forecast any time.

Our Talk&Text edition is a smart phone, which does require up to 5GB data per month. Connect to Wi-Fi for better performance and to save on data costs.

Connect to Bluetooth headphones or speaker. If your hearing aid does not require an app to control it you can also connect to your hearing aid.

Our 48 megapixel dual camera with buttons for easy use and visibility. Flip your phone and zoom with easy to see and use buttons. No need to swipe to zoom, or exit the camera. When you save a photo it is saved to the photo gallery so it is easily found!

Text Messages that have an image attached are also automatically salved to the photo gallery.

Never miss a notification! Large, full screen notifications for New Messages, Missed calls, calls, low battery.

Other mobile phones are laden with notifications, but your BigPurplePhone will only show the notifications you want to see!

When SOS is activated, BigPurplePhone sends an emergency notification to your emergency contacts along with a Google Map link with the location of the phone.

It will then countdown from 10 before the option to then dial 000.

This feature is standard on the Talk&Text and SilverFox Editions of the BigPurplePhone and has the option to be disabled on the SilverFox Edition of the BigPurplePhone.

Calls can be made to any number but your Loved One will not be bothered by unwanted incoming and scam calls from numbers that are not a trusted contact, if enabled.

All Menu Settings hidden so users don't get "lost" in phone Settings (volume is still available). We call this 'no fandangle" meaning no extras to confuse or complicate using the phone
