Do you really just push the one picture button to make a call? I thought about putting different colors for different people for my Dad. He would no

Yes. All you do is program the number to the button and then tag the button with a picture or name etc. My 87 year old mother loves this phone. She has two hearing aids and dialing long distance is troublesome for her. With this phone all she needs to do is pick up the receiver and push the picture of who she wants to call. This phone has solved many hurdles for my mother. I would highly recommend. The flashing light to indicate a call, the loud options for bell and hearing aid friendly as well as the easy dial options.

Yes, you just push the pictures. My 82 years old granny has used two different type of phone and this one is her preferred. She understands how to use it and the pictures are very helpful. BTW, the second time I bought for her a different phone that uses pictures too, but when she wanted to call someone that was not with a pictures she takes to long to dial the number and the telephone calls someone in the saved list (ones with pictures). This phone does not do that, if you father take time to dial the number that should not be a problem.

You have to program the number to associate with the button but then yes, that's exactly how it works. My mother found that the pictures were too small so I turned the card over and just wrote peoples first names - that seems to work well. Colors would also work just fine - but you might have to tape them onto the button area. FYI, I'm only using a few of the buttons - too many would probably confuse my mom. This phone made a HUGE difference for my mom - the only thing that it doesn't have is caller ID and voicemail.

It doesn't automatically answer either one. If you press the line that is being used then both persons can talk to the outside line. If one line is in use it is shown on the display, so you can select the other line to place a call or the busy line to share in that conversation. Overall a fantastic phone.One cool thing is you can add a speed dial on any phone and it will show and can be used by all phones.

There is a flash feature which allows you to answer a call coming in and I assume that the other call will be on hold until you flash back. I could be wrong as I have not used this feature this way. I usually just tell the call I am on that I need to answer the other call and they hang up. Hope this helps. I like the phone a lot.

Yes. I believe the middle button - once it operating - if you press it for one second will start changing modes, from multicolors, to blinking intermittent and finally it will give you solid red, solid blue and solid green. Remember to allow at least 1 - 2 seconds after getting a mode or color. You can't press non-stop to get result. Overall, I feel the item's effect can be rated as 'decent' to 'good'. Hope this help

Punch the far right button. It would help if it were a different color, maybe red.

I can't say I tried it any other way. I use the remote when I want to be in the picture with others, have the camera turned to us so we can see ourselves in the lens and then I clicked to remote...so at that point I was in front of the phone. If I am missing your question, please clarify and I'll try again.

Since I had problems with other digital phones I've owned, I've gotten in the habit of waiting to hit the speaker phone button only after I've connected with my party or if I'm on hold with speaker phone, I turn it off when someone comes on line and then press it again. I love speaker phones, but they seem to have their own personalities. I hope this helps, but it might be your phone is the problem?

I bought this phone for my 92 year old grandmother - it is so simple for her to use and has given her back the freedom to pick up the phone to call family and friends. Just take the phone off the hook and push the picture!!! Your grandmother will love it - mine does!!!

Yes. We talk to our families that way all the time. Just push the "Talk" button on any extra phone to join the conversation.

Yes you can pick one color. The center button gives you this option. Press it about 3 or 4 times until you reach the settng you want.

He has had 2 - they have both been black. Color has never been a deciding factor for us to purchase a cell phone. We are more interested in the phone functioning for us as to what we need. Both senior citizens so we are not into fashion or fancy functions. This phone is very basic - he only uses it for calling. Has fairly large buttons as his eyesight is failing. He does not text - does NOT have Qwerty keyboard which is a major consideration for me being that I do a lot of texting compared to calling.

There is a plus and minus symbol on the device. When it is on and you are connected to someone, press the plus symbol several times. Get a friend to call you.

Yes, you can pick the color you most like. It shouldn't cycle through them on it's own - at least mine doesn't ;)

Only 1 for friends or 3 for family. We were getting 10 robo calls per day. Now none. Only took a while to train our friends and family to remember to press 1 or 3.I suppose this may also chase off a few live callers, but just getting rid of the robo-calls was well worth it.

if you press just once, they are "privious" "play/pause" "next" "mode"(I don't know what this is). If you press and hold, they are "volume down" "answer the phone" "volume up" "connect".
