Great product & service – Great product and fantastic service, can't recommend highly enough. My elderly father can't operate a smart phone and is visually impaired. The EasyFlip 2 phone enables him to operate basic, easy to use buttons with voice output feature. Thanks team for making life a little easier

Great phone, easy to use – Easy to use, value for money, one of the best features is that the phone speaks the contacts name and let's my elderly mother know when it is charging. Show details

Brilliant – I bought the Olitech EasyFlip 2 for my 97-year-old mum after a couple of other "disasters". Its simplicity is brilliant, and I thoroughly recommend this phone for anyone who struggles with modern phones. Thank you so much Olitech, Show details

Great phone for seniors – I have purchased two phones from Olitech for my parents, which are perfect for them. They are not technically savy so needed for calls only. Having an ongoing post paid plan where they are not constantly asking for someone to check how much money they have left on the phone (prepaid) is very convenient. The provided SIM with access to the Telstra… Read more

network is ideal and cheap even with the price increase to $21 per month, which includes all calls and texts. Thank you for providing these Olitech!

Good service – The phone is great but the charging cradle charging pins failed after 14 months. It would be better if you could just buy the cradle without the charger plug unit. Cheers. Show details

VoLTE drops out – I'm with Vodafone and I have experienced 3 instances where my VoLTE service has dropped out. The only indication that this has happened is the disappearance of the tiny VoLTE icon from the top left corner of the screen. Rebooting the phone re-establishes the service. The symptom is that SMS still works, but I cannot make or receive voice calls.… Read more

Olitech wants to blame Vodafone, or the fact that it's not a smartphone. Clearly this is a network problem which affects the phone part of the phone, not the computer part. Moreover, since the phone's firmware controls the VoLTE icon, not the telco, clearly it is a firmware issue. That is, the firmware knows that VoLTE has dropped out, so it should be transparently trying to renegotiate a V0LTE service at regular intervals, without waiting for a reboot.

In short, I would not recommend this phone, especially if you depend on it for critical situations.

Great phone for elderly person with suboptimal hearing and reduced fine motor skills, who just needs to make and receive calls. Large buttons and display make for easy use. A very helpful feature is that you can lock the side volume buttons so the sound isn’t accidentally turned down while holding the phone. Can connect using Bluetooth to… Read more

compatible hearing aids and after walking out of range will reconnect automatically again. Can also easily return to Home Screen after using phone book, messages, etc by pressing home button or just closing the phone. (You can probably tell some of the problems we had with previous phone). Also love the speaker amplification option. Phone has a nice feel to it in your hand. Can’t comment yet on battery life because it gets put on the very convenient cradle charger quite frequently. Very happy with this phone for my Mum and Mother-in-law. Also, excellent written material included for quick set-up and a more comprehensive booklet.

wish we could stop battery charging at 80% to extend battery life. My husband, 93 yrs can use this ok for regular phone calls and messages. Don't need a lot of extras. The simpler the better. He manages very well with EasyFlip2 Show details

Great Product – My Mum is in her early 90s she is blind and hearing impaired. Mum does not do technology and she can not hear people on the land line even though it is for hearing impaired. She also struggled to answer the home phone. After some serious falls where she could have been on the ground for long periods of time we got her the Olitech Easy Flip 2. Mum… Read more

has used it a number of times by depressing the Emergency button sending upto 8 people and SMS and GPS coordinates. She wears it around her neck on the lanyard supplied. Mum can answer the phone by just flipping it open. The speaker is clear for her to have a conversation. I can't comment on the other functions as we don't use them. In our experience the Olitech phone has been a life saving device in at least 4 occasions.

Well done Olitech! – Olitech have great customer service when you need it, and such prompt delivery of your purchase. Cannot remember when I bought my first Olitech phone, but a good while back. Nice to get your hassles sorted. Show details

Olitech and the Easyflip2 winners for my Mum – All the best easy to use features of the previous model, with changes to make other features more user friendly for my Mum who suffers from Parkinson's and Parkinson's Dementia. Also now loving that Mum is able to connect to her hearing aids with this phone and a third party Bluetooth microphone. Extremely happy with the product and the outstanding customer service. Thank you Olitech! Show details

Great phone for the elderly – This is an incredibly easy phone to use even for my 93 year old mother who is otherwise totally useless when it comes to technology. I had to replace the battery after almost two years, but I suspect it’s because my mother was charging it when it still had more than 60% charge. Otherwise it’s a fantastic product and delivery was prompt. Show details

An excellent mobile phone – My phone is very easy to use and works well in any location. It has never failed me. The support and backup are excellent. Having no internet is an advantage as there are no unwanted adverts and my internet provider charge to host it is small. On the negative side, I cannot blacklist a caller who does not leave a phone number, and the tone given when charging is complete is unpleasant. Show details

Good but should be better – The Key Tone could not be removed even though the setting was at zero. Had to return to their office to have the software updated. There is no White List. Black Lists are useless because scammers continually change their number when they realize that they are black listed. Given that my 10yo Alcatel had a white list this is a serious oversight for… Read more

which there is no excuse. The tone when you are waiting for the person to answer is different when you call a landline from that when calling a mobile. When calling a mobile the tone sounds like a busy signal. I found I was continually hanging up thinking the line busy because of this, until I was apprised of this quirk by Olitech. I don't know of any other phone that does this? I had to buy a new phone because my Alcatel was not 4G enabled and with 3G being discontinued I had no option. If you want a simple voice only phone as I did then it's not a bad choice, just be aware that it isn't quite up to the mark. However, build quality and display is good.

Perfect phone for older people – I bought this phone for my 95 year old Father in law. It is really easy for him to use, the numbers are big and has a really loud ring tone. Setup was easy. The charging dock is a great idea. Show details

Best of the Dumb Phones – Having tried other brands, Olitech if by far the best and most reliable of them all. Us oldies simply want a phone with SMS capabilities. We rarely, if ever, use the camera so can't comment on that aspect of the phone. Show details

Olitech Easy flip 2 – We have the Easy Flip 2, and we are very happy with it. Great message alert, call alert, at least now I know when I have a call or message. It has a good ring, just turn the speaker up. I haven't used photos yet, so still to see. We are in our 60's and we just want a simple phone without social media stuff. Comfy in my bag, and not too heavy.

A very good easy to use phone – I found the phone to be very easy to set up and use, the support provided by Olitech was really good. The phone is a gift for my father in law. The phone has met his needs of a simple basic phone which is easy to operate.

EasyFlip 2 – Purchased as an upgrade from the EasyMate for my mother to get 4G ready and we're pleased with the phone. Has everything she needs to make it easy to use and what we need to keep us in touch with peace of mind. The phone is easy to use and a great deal including the plan. Highly recommend Olitech phones and as a provider. I have been using them for several years now. Show details
