This phone has a 6.7-inch screen and has the Synapptic-lite software fully installed and ready to use. It comes with one hour’s free training (conducted remotely over the phone) and free, UK-based technical support for a lifetime, plus one year of free software updates and a Getting Started guide.
Synapptic's built-in speech and magnification can be adjusted to suit your needs, as can the clear and simple menus.
Touch & Release® touchscreen control means you can move your finger up and down each menu option, and hear it read out, until you stop on the option you want to use.
Built-in voice recognition means it's easy to complete tasks, even if you're not confident at using the keyboard. Simply say what you want typed into a text and it will appear and be read out on the screen.
A help button on every screen means you can access instant help documents and videos for that screen, ensuring you'll never get lost or be stuck for too long. And Synapptic's built-in Lifeline® support feature means you're only ever three taps away from accessing its remote support service.
Please note that the Synapptic-lite software does not include audio books, digital magnifier, reading machine, emails, internet radio, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, Synapptic Reader or a web browser.
This phone is aimed at those who want to stay in contact by call and text.

Important
This phone comes with one year of free software updates. The phone will continue to work after the first year, but to access new features in later updates, (including updates to apps) you would need to pay annually for additional support: £99 for the basic support plan, or £129 for the complete support plan.
The supplied SIM card works with Pay-As-You-Go or contract SIM cards from all major networks, including EE, Vodaphone, O2, 3, Virgin Mobile, T-Mobile, GiffGaff, Tesco Mobile and Asda Mobile. If you have an old mobile phone, simply transfer the SIM to the new Synapptic phone – this will instantly transfer your old number, along with any existing credit or contract. Please contact Synapptic if you need help transferring contacts, photos and other data.
