Title: Easy to use
Review: I bought this phone for my husband because he didn’t want a smartphone. He had an older DORO which was only 2G & couldn’t get a signal at home. This one is 4G & so long as you have EE you can use it through your WiFi. We use 1pMobile, which uses EE network. For the money if you just want a phone to make calls and send texts it’s a good choice. It only took a few minutes to set up.

Title: This is really bad
Review: I read the poor reviews before buying, and I shoulda believed themBut I have a couple of old doros and needed 4g so I bought this oneMy old doros are so simple – responsive buttons, thumb round the options with easeThis one is so bad – I’m astonished it is marketed for “seniors”Unresponsive buttons, requiring the use of two hands, counter intuitive menus, everything seems designed for complexityTexting is ridiculous – a new text comes in with the focus on the reply box, so you then have to scroll up (if the button deigns to work) to read the msg, and then have to scroll back down to replyEven sending the text is counter intuitiveI get that “conversations” is a cool feature, but on a screen this small and with buttons with such random functionality, its a bit daftTwo months down the line and I have given up, consigned the phone to history, and bought a replacementA lot of time and money down the drainAnd – note for the under researched (like me) wi-fi calling only works if your provider supports itBut, obv, that is not doro’s fault…

Title: Simple , no fuss phone
Review: Eventually, when you work through the manual, it becomes easier to use. Particularly like the green flashing light for incoming and un-opened e-mails; the max volume level, large keyboard and ability to use whatsapp, go online send e-mails. Remember this is a simple basic phone with some smartphone features. Other attributes are Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. There’s also a USB port but I haven’t manage to use it for more than battery re-charging (phone comes with a holster re-charger anyway) from a laptop. Main negative is battery life. Really needs a heavier duty battery. Doro should source a longer-life battery.

Title: Useful simple phone
Review: Bought this as a simple “indoor” phone when I dropped my landline. I was also attracted by the tethering facilities that could act as a backup when my fixed line Broadband failed or there was a power failure. Put in an already active ASDA Moblie SIM & it worked well out of the box. An initial issue was that WiFi calling could not be selected despite ASDA offering it. This was resolved nearly 2 weeks later when the phone picked up updated firmware from Doro. However, after the update the menus are now slow, with wanted selections having to sometimes be pressed several times before they respond. Call quality is excellent over WiFi. 4G (VoLTE) calling is also supposed to be available & the handset is compatible, but again this is currently missing. I will have to wait & see if a further update is forthcoming that solves these issues.

Title: Not easy to use – my husband lost interest in using it altogether
Review: I bought this phone for my 85 yr old husband. He had an old 2G phone but wanted to be able to send Whatsapp messages, something he could not do with his old phone. He is able to send short emails using my laptop and has sent Whatsapp messages using my phone and now wants to get a 4G phone. I thought the Doro 7030 would be suitable with bigger buttons and the fact that It came pre-installed with Whatsapp and was internet enabled was good. He particularly wanted to send Whatsapp messages to family and friends. The phone arrived very quickly and he was happy with the look of the phone, he liked the fact that it was a flip phone that fits easily in his hand. I read that this phone is quite easy to set up, this was not the case, it took me ages. I suppose when you are used to touch screen phones, using this type of phone can be quite tedious. Having to press each button and having to OK every action that is taken, was quite annoying. My husband was not too bothered by this so much, his main problem with this phone was having to scroll up just to read a line of text messages at a time, not being able to clearly see the whole message to read. No matter what we tried, we couldn’t access the messages clearly. He would say, with his old phone he was always able to see messages clearly. He looked forward to using Whatsapp but that was simply awful, he was not able to use it as the print was so small with the tiniest arrow to move around, you would need a magnifying glass to use Whatsapp. He became very disappointed with the phone and in the end, wasn’t interested in using it at all. I felt awful because I had suggested buying it and really thought the Doro 7030 would be the most suitable phone for him. I have now decided to return the phone because my husband has no interest in using it. I will have to get him a touch screen phone that doesn’t cost the earth. Judging from what I’ve seen and experienced, I don’t think this phone is suitable for any elderly person who likes to send/receive text or Whatsapp messages, but would be OK for making calls.

Title: Not good for WhatsApp
Review: Bought for elderly relative to get on WhatsApp but still have a flip phone, would not recommend, the cursor is not user friendly, and is slow and difficult to navigate, works as a phone and can scroll through menus but if, like me was looking for a flip phone with WhatsApp, Avoid!, everything else is fine but often needs restarting, battery isn’t the best compared to others either.
