Dexterity

Today's mobile telephones seem to be getting smaller all the time which doesn't help if your grip or sense of touch is restricted. The features listed below could make it easier for you to use a mobile telephone and may be on handsets from BT Mobile or other suppliers.

Belt clip and handsfree kit

Two accessories to keep your phone with you all the time or add a handsfree feature to a handset that hasn't got it built in

Large, well-spaced keypads

Less chance of catching the wrong key when dialling

Lightweight

No heavy handset to make your wrist ache

Loudspeaker

No need to have your handset to your ear while talking

Recessed keys

Keys that are set below the body of the handset making them easier to select

Raised dot on button number 5

Most mobiles have a raised dot on or around the number 5 so you can work your way around the keypad from there

Tactile feedback

Keys that you can feel click to let you know when you've pressed them properly

Toughened/ Water and dust resistant casing

Helps protects the handset from accidental knocks, useful if you tend to drop the handset

Voice calling

Recording a phonebook entry in voice so someone's number can be called from the directory by speaking their name
