Needed a new battery and had a lot of difficulty in getting it so went directly to Olitech and got one very quickly!
the green message light is stuck, every4 0-50 the phone as if a message has been received ,but there is no message.this happens day and night. I have used your previously and was trying to upgrade. Bruce Conboy
Arrived when and as expected and being used in an aged care facility Only issue was with trying to setup the Olitech SIM which was impossible on an apple smart phone. Had to use a laptop to do it Show details
Very easy phone to set up and use. Battery appears to hold charge well. Seems more straightforward than the previous phone (a Big Button), with less and easy to follow steps.
Easy mate 2 – Great phone for purpose. Mum can use the large keys. Great value Show details
Happy hubby now – Husband is happy with his Easy mate 2 , The battery was faulty from the outset & never held its charge.. The replacement battery I bought is working really well, no issues now...because the back had bulged & cracked by the faulty battery a new back was replaced free of charge, for the cost of postage...Very helpful lady was a pleasure to deal with...

Good phone for those with limited dexterity, great customer support – Great phone for a person with limited capacity in his hands, speaker phone operation nice and clear and can be set always on, simple up/down navigation button. After sales support has been very good. Purchased for making & receiving calls and receiving text. Show details
Less user-friendly than the previous model – I bought this phone for my wife to replace the EasyMate 1 that she has had for the last five years and she has been very happy with, and only replacing it because the 3G network is shutting down at the end of June. Her feedback about the new phone is obviously influenced by her experience with the old one, and as such, she is disappointed with the… Read more
EasyMate 2. Her main complaint about it, in a nutshell, is that many of its functions take more steps to achieve than with the old phone.
Phone is easy to use with large keys and small – The phone works well and is easy to use. Large keys are also good and it is small and compact. Show details
Please extend ringing time – Cannot extend ringtime on the Telstra network as 2 x * creates a + symbol and so it is not accepted...help. Show details

A pleasurable experience – Have just got it, and have only used it a couple of times, mostly for messages. But I love it already. I am very hard of hearing, and I can hear this phone perfectly. I am a week off turning 80, and as an oldie I have no trouble reading and understanding the User Manual, which to my joy is in plain understandable english. Congratulations! Show details
Love this phone – Easy to set up and works perfectly. Mum lives in residential care and can’t have a landline in her room but this phone is great. A mobile phone wasn’t a good idea for her but thanks perfect. Show details

Great phone but new charger not the best – Ordered an received new charger in quick time but found the handset does not sit in the charger correctly. It is very loose and does not make contact with the pins to charge the handset Show details
Not a good phone – Bought this phone and practically from day one the phone freezes while typing a message. When sending a message the phone will display as 'sending' even after the message has been sent. Not a good phone compared to the original olitech easy mate phone. They wouldn't give me a replacement due to some dust build up inside the phone. Not a quality product! Show details
Olitech EasyMate 2 Mobile Phone – There were some issues transitioning from the old Olitech EasyMate+ to the new Olitech EasyMate 2. My father is 90+ years old and it is taking time for him to familiarise himself with the layout of the Olitech EasyMate 2, where the software operating system is different from the Olitech EasyMate+, which he had for 5 years. Having said that… Read more
Olitech’s customer support is helpful, friendly and quick, and there are comprehensive written and video instructions. There was a charging issue with the Olitech EasyMate+ which seems to have been rectified on the Olitech EasyMate 2.
Ideal for the elderly – This phone replaced the landline for my elderly and non technical parents. It has comfortably achieved its objective of ease of use and practicality. Adding extra plug in cradles to various rooms allowed the phone to be transported when moving about the home, whilst keeping the phone on charge at all times. Highly recommended. Show details
Highly recommended essential seniors phone – Replaces a 2016 EasyMate+. Just swapped the SIM card over and all works as expected. Bought the two optional cases, which are much-better than the previous EasyMate cases, which I ended-up not using. I find the new flatter phone profile and case profile, much easier to carry in a pocket or on a belt. Both types of phone cases can be carried on a… Read more
belt and the lanyard one slips in pockets easy. I like the top left quick-view volume "+" button that displays the front page without having to unlock the phone, and the new display now tells both missed messages and phone-calls at a glance in numbers and icon, - a very nice feature. Like others, I haven't had it long enough to get into the deeper features (just over a week), but the new interactive interface is well appreciated by this old duffer, as are the better lanyard and the two new soft-leather cases with the easy magnetic clips. I now do actually use the cases, especially the lanyard onto the phone inside the red-leather pocket-case, which just slides out to answer it. Getting confirmation codes is now very fast. the only slight niggle, may be the 3-second delay to open the phone. The phone itself is a real boon to the elderly and infirm. Highly recommended.
A very nice user(older)-friendly mobile phone – Communication and delivery were handled very professionally. I don’t use a mobile that often and then mainly just for talking/texting, but so far this phone seems great. Basic functions seem easy to use, as are the large keys. Phone is also nice and LOUD if you need that. Sorry but I have not had the phone long enough/used it enough to comment… Read more
usefully on all the features. Perhaps a few months down the track I will follow-up. So far, very pleased with my purchase.
Basics Good... but – The phone is a good choice as a replacement for my 94 year old mother in laws previous 3G phone as most functions / buttons are similar and added functions mostly very good. However, the camera and multimedia component is unusable as it is too complicated and presented images too small to be effectively viewed. Unless following models are planned… Read more
to have a much bigger screen size I would delete this component. From a user perspective the handbook is very poorly laid out and very difficult to find specific data on components, as it is not indexed. No explanation of accessing capital letters for texting or phone book editing or changing AM to PM in time adjustment.
Thanks Olitech...! – My ninety four year old Dad loves his new phone...!
Easy to use – The easy mate 2 phone exceeded my expectations. Some one who has never been able to learn to use a normal mobile phone was using it after an hours instruction. Show details

Perfect for elderly people who can’t use smart phones – It was so good, we ended up buying TWO. Originally brought one a month ago for my technologically illiterate 81 year old mother, who now has a mobile that she can actually use. She is hard of hearing and the ring is loud enough for her to hear, without her hearing aids in and the volume of the conversation can also be easily adjusted. Her 86 year… Read more
old best friend, liked mum’s new phone so much that she asked me to get her one too! We have had Olitech phones in the past and their customer service is amazing.
Great for Elders – Bought for my 95yo mum who doesn't have a clue about mobiles but this she just has to pickup to answer calls. Doesn't need to make calls normally so not a problem as the layout is similar to old home phones impure she could. The first phone had to be replaced as it had a fault after a week but Olitech express posted a replacement, so hopefully this will not have problems. Great phone. Show details
Good phone for the Oldies – I am 88 years old with Maculat Degeneration so my eyesight is poor and after trying several other Mobile Phones this Olitech EasyMate 2 is just what I need as where I am I cannot get a home phone, I find because of the white background with the black keys and white numbers it is much better for my eyesight,also it is so simple to use, easy to do texting, so far I am very happy with my new Phone.
Excellent Service for replacement parts – I needed a replacement Charger and telephoned the Olitech office in Melbourne and in a matter of minutes I was all sorted. Great Service by a Local team in Australia. Show details
great phone for elderly or poor vision – this 2 series phone is so much better than the previous one. very simple to use. I am very happy with out and recommend to any one requiring a good simple phone for talking only Show details
Ideal phone for the older user – This is a replacement phone for my mother. She used the original EasyMate but it was damaged and we needed something that had big buttons for her eyesight and was easy to use. I think it took her just an hour before she was comfortable using the new phone. Ideal phone. Show details
Had all functions that we needed at a reasonable price – We had bought another phone but discovered the "GPS" feature described on the packaging was not close to what we needed. The GPS location of this phone responds accurately and within a minute to my I Phone 11. The answering of calls is easily visible and we have an instant voice communication with my husband who has no need to press anything to answer the call. Show details
Excellent phone – I found that this phone is so much simpler that a touch phone. Easy to set up and use. Would recommend this phone to anyone who has a problem with touch phone technology. Show details
Awesome – This phone is simple to use. It has made an elderly gentleman ver happy. He can work it perfectly without help. I recommend this phone and the seller. The phone was well packaged and prompt delivery. Many thanks Show details
Best things for an aging population who want to stay connected – My 93 year old mother has turned into a teenager now that she can hear people on the phone and they can hear her. Perfect selection of functions for someone with two hearing aids. Show details
Ideal simple phone – Good phone for an elderly person with poor hearing and vision. Show details
Just what we needed – This is the perfect phone for my father who just couldn't get to grips with the touch phone technology. Easy to use, amplified speakers, large and clear display that is easy to read out of doors; and a clean simple menu that allows you to easy set up. Excellent product, fast service and good tutorial videos.
