How Loud Is This Phone?

The BigTel 50 is an ideal telephone for anybody suffering with hearing difficulties thanks to the highly adjustable volume of both the receiver and the ringer. The extra-loud receiver can amplify the speech of your callers up to 40dB, or over 4x louder than a standard phone! The ringer is also extra-loud, and can be adjusted up to a massive maximum volume of 90dB.

Boost Button for Instant Receiver Volume Increase

This BigTel 50 Plus Landline Phone has a convenient boost button (see picture below). When pressed it boosts the receiver volume to 40dB instantly.

Can I Connect This Phone to My Hearing Aid?

Yes, this telephone is hearing aid compatible with the majority of popular hearing aids on the market. This provides crystal clear sound directly into your ears, ensuring you don't miss a thing.

How Does the One-Touch Dialling Work?

This phone includes three one touch memory keys (M1, M2 and M3) located at the top of the keypad to make speed dialling simple. You can assign the numbers of your favourite two contacts to each one of these to allow for near-instant dialling. See the image below for a better idea:

Two-Touch Dialling Too!

On top of the super handy one-touch functionality, this BigTel 50 Alarm Plus also has a two-touch dialling feature that can store up to 10 numbers.

Includes an Emergency Call Pager

This phone includes an incredibly useful emergency call pager with an easy-activation button. It's programmable and can be set to call either a specific number of a loved one, or to emergency services. There is also an emergency answering message that the phone will play until the receiver of the call acknowledges the emergency by pressing the 0 key.

The pager can be worn on your wrist with the included bracelet, or around your neck with the included lanyard. It's also water resistant!

How Easy Are the Buttons to Use?

The larger button size on the BigTel 50 is ideal for those with visual impairments thanks to the big button design, which means that the numbers will be easier to read, reducing the risk of telephone numbers being incorrectly dialled. This larger size is also suitable for anybody with reduced dexterity as they are easier to manage than smaller, traditional dialling buttons.

How Easy Is the BigTel to Read?

The telephone is fitted with a large and clear dot-matrix display screen, which displays the caller ID for incoming and outgoing calls. This phone also includes a bright LED light which flashes when there is an incoming call, providing a visual aid to make it clearer when the phone is being rung. 

Is This Phone Suitable for the People with Memory Loss?

Both the one-touch and two-touch dialling features of this phone make it ideal for those with memory issues as they are ideal for programming frequently dialled numbers such as family members or carers. This phone also features a redial button that makes it easier to call the same number again.

Is This Phone Compatible With Digital Routers?

BT have announced that by 2025, all analogue phone lines will be switched off, meaning landline phones will need to be compatible with digital routers and hubs. In preparation for the changeover, all Amplicomms Telephones are now fully compatible with digital networks. Amplicomms have confirmed that all phones are suitable for a digital network after testing at BT and Talk Talk labs.
