Olitech EasyFlip Smart
VerifiedMPN: OLT2021-S10 reviews
The phone is overall great. I bought it for the purpose of getting off a smart phone and it works fine for calling texting and has a hotspot if I need to use my computer out and about. However, one of the things it advertises is WhatsApp and when I first got it it was out of date and I can't seem to update it. I don't typically use WhatsApp but I… Read more
thought it would be a good way to get around group chats with my friends, so that was a bit disappointing. Also, sometimes when someone first texts sometimes it misses a message. Aside from these two things it has been great.
We purchased the phone for our 94 year old mother who has recently moved into a nursing home where the Telstra mobile coverage is very poor. We wanted to be able to use the Home's wifi capabilities in particular but the flip action makes answering and hanging up very easy given this as this is her first mobile phone. Also the pre-programmed… Read more
contact function has been very useful due to my mother's vision problems. She simply has to press and hold down the speed dial number for the person she wants to contact. No need to enter long numbers. She only needs the phone for making or receiving calls and won't be using the message or camera functions.
So far so good. The ‘flip’ opening is great and the touch button photos…especially for my partner who is elderly and has Parkinson’s. Although I must say I didn’t find setting up particularly easy…especially WhatsApp. We really need this as phone here works best through Wifi. I read on a review that it constantly needs updates…I hope not. Not sure… Read more
if there is a notice anywhere but I really think an elderly person would need help with setting up this phone.
Very happy with the Olitech smart easy flip phone gor my 93 year old mother. Simple to use and nice and loud. Customer Service was excellent! Show details
Follow-up · Very happy with the upgrade from the previous model. Also the customer service from the Olitech team is excellent.
This phone has potential - however the video calling functionality is nonexistent and any claims that the phone has this functionality should be caveated. We were able to use WhatsApp for a week only. After this, the phone said WhatsApp (which was downloaded only one week prior) was expired and needed an update. The phone refuses to download the… Read more
update and if you call via WhatsApp it rings and rings and nothing happens on the phone. There are suggested convoluted workarounds on line but the fact is the phone is advertised as having video capability and it does not work - and my grandmother is disappointed by this. This is misleading and deceptive on Olitech’s part. It needs to be addressed in a software update.
Bought it for .you mum. Easy to use and does more than she needs:) Show details
We just wanted a safe and simple phone for telephone calls and SMS messages, no connection to the internet. We are in our late 80's and have experienced being caught by computer scams through links. Staff at Olitech have been wonderful with their… Read more
assistance and the phones work like a charm very much on the KISS principle (Keep It Simple St#pid). It is excellent value for money. We purchased 2 phones, for my wife and myself, and have been using Olitech Easy Flip phones since 2017. Update: 6 months after the above review the Olitech EasyFlip Smart phone is as good as ever.
Follow-up · Our favourite feature is the simplicity as we use the Easy Flip only for phone calls and SMS. We both are a little hard of hearing but we find the high volume settings excellent. Battery life I have trouble remembering as it has never been a problem but perhaps between 18 & 24 months.
We had the pleasure of having Christen and Jacinda to assist us Christen went above and beyond in helping us Show details

Brilliant – I bought the Olitech EasyFlip 2 for my 97-year-old mum after trying a couple of other phones that, unfortunately, ended in frustration. This one has been a total game-changer. Its simplicity, clear display, and large buttons make it incredibly easy for her to use, and the flip design is both familiar and practical. It’s such a relief… Read more
to see her confidently making calls and receiving messages without any stress. I truly appreciate the thought that’s gone into designing something so user-friendly for seniors. I thoroughly recommend this phone to anyone who finds modern smartphones too complicated.
