I've dedicated a page to Consumer Cellular and its vision for providing phones and services for senior citizens. Well, it appears that the company has increased its excellent lineup of cell phones for seniors.Consumer Cellular has introduced new mobile phones for the elderly to the market. These new handsets are made by Swedish company Doro.
Let's take a closer look at these new cellphones for seniors.

Doro PhoneEasy 335: An easy-to-use bar-style phone that also offers large buttons, strong vibrating alerts, loud ringers, Bluetooth and support for hearing aids. Consumers can get this handset for the elderly for $40.
To get these excellent devices, a consumer needs to a $35 activation fee and subscribe to plans that cost $20 per month for 250 minutes.
What are the other benefits for these new cell phone for seniors? Well let me enumerate or highlight the perks:
- Two-way speakerphone
- Phonebook with up to 300 entries
- SMS text messaging
- Emergency text-message alerts and call list
- Option to hide unwanted functions

It appears that Consumer Cellular is trying to give Jitterbug a run for their money. I guess that's positive because it means more options for senior users.
