Action for Deafness

An easy mobile phone with good functionality - This mobile phone makes dialling and messaging very simple thanks to enlarged buttons and characters, while offering plenty of functionality together with vibrating ringer, soft touch surfaces and Bluetooth™ wireless technology.

The 345 is a good sized mobile phone, not too small, fantastic for simply making and receiving calls and text messages. Dialling is easy thanks to a large and clear keypad with separated keys and a phonebook for 200 names & numbers. The 345 also has soft touch surfaces, speakerphone and Bluetooth.

The display is full colour with a large display font making it clear and easy to read. Call volume is adjusted by volume buttons on the side of the phone and the 345 has a nice sound quality.

The 345 includes some more conventional 'proper' ringing sounds as well as more modern polyphonic tunes. There is also a standard 2.5mm headset socket.

The PhoneEasy 345 has a Hearing Aid Compatibility rating of T3/M3 (see the User Guides tab for more information about this). This means there is still an element of interference with hearing aids. Some hearing aid users will find the level of background noise acceptable when using the phone directly with 'T' with their hearing aid - those who find the background noise unsatisfactory can use an inductive earhook. We are unable to give guidance; it is simply a matter of trial and personal preference. 

Hearing aid users (with a telecoil facility) have two alternative ways of using the PhoneEasy 345 with their hearing aid:

• Directly from the telephone handset using 'T'
• Indirectly using an inductive earhook (for those who find an unsatisfactory level of inductive noise when used directly)

Please note, our 'T-Link' inductive earhook will not work with this phone. See Associated Items on the right for compatible earhook.

The Doro PhoneEasy 345 also has an emergency SOS button on the back. To make an emergency call, press and hold the key on the back - this will cause the phone to send your pre-programmed SOS emergency SMS text message to all numbers in the Emergency numbers list (max. 5). It will then dial the first number on the list. If the call isn't answered within 30 seconds, the next number is dialled. Dialling is repeated 3 times or until the call is answered. Note - the emergency call function can be turned off

This phone is supplied unlocked and SIM-Free. You will need to arrange for a SIM card from a mobile phone network operator for use with this phone.
