Excellent product at competitive price.

Excellent product at competitive price.
Staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Unfortunately we had to return the phone as it did not meet the needs of my elderly father.
The returns process was very easy and straight forward with the refund being dealt with very swiftly.
Following the experience I had I would definitely recommend.

Excellent, reliable service

Second purchase made from this company (an upgrade from the original purchase). Always happy with the reliability and prompt service of Amplified Telephones and would not hesitate to purchase again. Highly recommended.

The earpiece volume isn’t very loud…

The earpiece volume isn’t very loud unless you remember to press the boost button every time you use it. Not great for dementia sufferers - too complicated. Not bad once the button is pressed. Also, you can only enter names into the memory with up to 10 characters….very poor. Easy to set up.

If the product isn’t suitable, we’d be happy to provide returns information and help you find a better alternative. Please feel free to contact our customer service team.

The SIM based GSM desk phone is excellent

Purchased a GSM desk phone (SIM based landline phone) for my 90+ year old grandmother who just could not get on with mobile. Rheumatoid arthritis in her hands meant using small buttons or touchscreen was just not feasible and no line connection for a normal landline meant we had to try something new. When the Amplified Telephone GSM phone arrived it was simple to set up, tested and worked great with a normal SIM card and was, most importantly, dead easy to use. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away shortly after purchasing the phone so she didn’t really get a chance to use it for a prolonged period. That said, the phone is packed away ready for any other family member who might benefit from it in future. Great product and worth the money.

Excellent service

Ordered a mobile for my elderly father and it couldn't have been easier. As he is extremely hard of hearing and requires hearing aids, I was able to claim back the VAT - a very straightforward process. The phone was despatched the day after it was ordered and arrived two days later. Excellent service.

Utter rubbish

Within 1 hour of receiving this phone the clip holding the SD card broke off. A call was made to Amplified Hearing and the person who answered the phone couldn't help. After trying to replace the clip for a while we gave up.

Then after 3 days the phone wouldn't charge so the phone was useless and returned.

Amplified hearing said we had damaged to SD card clip!! They also said the phone was in working order. They couldn't sell it on due to the damage so offered to dispose of it. Didn't believe them so asked for it to be returned.

We had to pay £8 to get the phone back - still waiting for it's return.

Wouldn't touch this company again.

The phone appears to be very old technology.

Dear Sandra,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your frustration, but we would like to clarify the findings of our technical inspection for the benefit of transparency.

When the handset was returned to our warehouse, our team conducted a thorough assessment of both the physical condition and the internal hardware of the device.

During this inspection, the SD card clip was found to be physically bent out of shape. As this specific component does not fail or bend under normal operation, such finding is consistent with physical force or accidental damage rather than a manufacturing defect. Unfortunately, such damage voids the possibility of a refund and prevents the item from being resold.

Furthermore, regarding the operational issues reported, the device powered up immediately during our testing. We monitored the handset for a full 24-hour period, during which the battery maintained its charge and functioned exactly as expected, confirming that the phone is in full working order.

Regarding the return costs, please note these costs simply cover the postage used, that being the initial pre-paid label for the return to us and the tracked delivery to get the handset back to you. Your device has been dispatched and is currently on its way to your address.

Kind regards,

Victor

Service from the company was good but the telephone didn’t meet needs

The service from the company was good, but the telephone did not meet my dad’s needs. He is elderly, with poor hearing and some cognitive impairment. The phone had very loud ringers, although none of them sounded like a phone and more like alarms. However the volume of the person on the call was no better than his current phone unless you press the boost button while on a call. He would not be able to remember to do that and I was told that it is not possible for the boost button to be turned on constantly. The phone therefore wasn’t appropriate for someone with cognitive impairment. The returns process was very quick and smooth.

Dear Tricia,

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words regarding our service and returns process.

I am sorry to learn that the phone you have recently purchased was not the right solution for your father. You have highlighted a very important point: for users with cognitive impairment, remembering to press the boost button during a call is often not practical.

While many amplified phones use this as a safety feature to protect other users in the household, we understand it can be a significant hurdle for someone who needs that volume automatically.

For future reference or for other customers in a similar situation, we often recommend the Amplicomms BigTel or Doro ranges, which features in many cases an Audio Boost Lock. This allows the extra amplification to stay on permanently, removing the need for the user to remember to press a button.

We are glad we were able to handle your return quickly, and we wish you and your father the best in finding the right solution for his needs.

Kind regards,

Victor

Unhappy purchase

I found the instructions to install the handset extremely confusing and still don't know what TAM means. The voice on handset is barely audible until the audio boost is on which is most annoying as I'm only slightly deaf and shouldn't need the boost. Not terribly happy with the purchase I'm afraid.

Dear Dorothy,

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to learn that the phone you have recently purchased has not been the right fit for you.

To clarify the instructions, TAM stands for Telephone Answering Machine as in the voicemail feature. Regarding the volume, this specific model is designed with a very high ceiling for profound hearing loss, which is why the audio boost is a dedicated trigger. However, we understand that having to press it every time can be frustrating if you only require a moderate increase in volume.

Since you only purchased this phone earlier this month, we would be more than happy to help you with a returns authorisation as well as suggesting alternative models that offer a higher volume.

Please contact our team at helpdesk@amplifiedtelephones.co.uk and we will assist you with the return process and help find a handset better suited to your needs.

Kind regards,

Victor

Just what I was looking for!

The perfect telephone for the elderly with great amplification, large buttons and a very clear backlit display. Having read the reviews I downloaded the full manual before setting up and wojuld advise others to do likewise as the Quick Start guide is a little short on detail. Great value for money
