HOW DO I CHECK A MISSED CALL??
No answers
Brian Kingasked
My wife is in aged care and found the phone easy to use. She does not bother with the menu, I sort out contacts , missed calls etc.
On Friday the 22nd after two weeks lockdown I went to clear call history but could not get the menu button to respond. The battery was low as the cleaners had turned off the plug. After recharging there was still no response on any buttons. I tried the SIM card in the original mobile and it functioned perfectly.
The unit is under twelve months and should not fail in such a short time. Your advice please.
1 answer
As the unit is less than 12 months old it is still under warranty so I would contact Olitech directly and ask for tech help - I have found them to be very helpful and obliging.
Lindsasked
Does the phone have a battery or is power required all the time. What I mean is "is it mobile"?
1 answer
Yes the phone has both battery and power.
It requires power to charge
As far as mobile it can be used on any power point. I love it.

he would have to be very deaf not to hear someone talking over the phone, perhaps the ringer would have to be at maximum setting but the phone is visual (lights up) when ringing. The phone appears sturdy enough for harder than normal use. It would be best to contact Olitech to find out how the contacts on the buttons work, if they operate on the same principal as buttons on a computer keyboard then there shouldn't be a problem.

If you purchased 2 of these phones for different rooms could you hot spot one off the phone plan that you have purchased for 1 phone or would you have to purchase 2 phone plans?
1 answer
I have used bluetooth to talk from one of the Homephones to a Vtech brand base station that has three phones. The system works well to ring and receive calls from three rooms in the house. I doubt that you can use the same sim to communicate on the two phones but the bluetooth may work with 2 home phone with one working as a slave like my Vtech set up.
Peterasked
If this phone is purchased with a SIM card, will it come with SIM Card installed and will I be billed automatically for $14 a month? I only need it for receiving text messages as I already have a Telstra landline for calls. I presume that the phone number is supplied with it.

Yes, Peter. That is correct.
My elderly parents purchased this phone, because it LOOKED LIKE a normal landline, (even though it worked on mobile technology). The sim card was already installed when they received the handset, and we arranged automatic DIRECT DEBIT @ $14 per month. So there was nothing for them to do, except USE it!
All very convenient and simple.
Hi Peter,
Lynne's response is correct. You might find, as we did, that it is cheaper to get rid of the landline altogether. My dad was paying $22pm for the landline, plus another $10pm for unlimited standard calls and mobile calls. He was then charged for any 13 or 1300 calls so on average was paying around $34-$40 per month. The SIM card with this phone is $14pm and includes unlimited standard, mobile and 13/1300 numbers and is on the Telstra network. It is not reliant on NBN and if the power goes out you still have around 8 hours battery life on the phone.
