Hello folks
Thanks for all the feedback and encouragements, also for the forum reward. Luvly
Well folks, I decided an Amplicomms (extra loud ) clamshell M7000 (except i received M7051). Ive forgotten the exact cost 50.00 - 60.00 , I believe,
And Ive bought a separate , ex demo, tablet which fits into my handbag . I chose this combination instead of a smartphone version which I couldn't handle.
+The phone is a good choice for me . nice shape, very loud ringer, and amplified (30db) incoming sound. Brill.
+I went to a company that allows 30 day trials and away I went.
+The online manual is long but comprehensive, the Amplicomms help service, both email and tele no: were prompt and accurate, friendly too.
+The services / settings are easy to follow with a little help from the manual
-The slight downside, no intuitive spelling & pressing the texting buttons is a slight chore, but the phone is worth any mild aggro.
!!! -The other downside is folk are so used to texting me cos I couldnt hear before that texts are ruling the day.!!!
+ I will have to get tough with myself and tell people to phone sometimes. !! Its part of a deaf persons make up to be too afraid to phone - the fear of not hearing and looking 'foolish'.
So 02 what do you need to know -
On the whole 02 has good customer relations but some deaf awareness and knowledge of what will suit who would greatly enhance your stores.
Thanks everyone

Hey @Jenny105 just read this, awesome review and very useful! Thanks so much for posting. I'm curious, what kind of texting buttons does it have?
I so miss the blackberry keyboard that had actual buttons to press. I could text without even looking at the phone because I knew where each button was and felt them. Now on all the phones the buttons are touch screen and I always mistype with them.

Predictive text causes me issues at least a few times a week But then again I make mistakes with normal text as well if I don't re-read it, so I guess I'm just rubbish at typing on mobile phones in general.
When you mentioned 'clamshell' it made me miss my old flip phone (and another slider one) from Samsung.
