The new Beafon S20
Are you one of the tens of thousands of individuals who hate the small, fiddly and technologically challenging mobile phones? The market is awash with them – featuring Carl Zeiss camera lenses, 32 GB MP3’s and sat navs…who cares? I don’t know about you but when it comes to a mobile I like to phone and text. That’s it.
I’m not the only one. Sir Philip Green, the retailing titan who owns BHS is the proud owner of the entire back stock of Nokia 6130’s just in case one breaks. Ditto Marco Pierre White. Both are rather public owners of straightforward, no nonsense, simple phones that do what they say on the tin.
For the mobility impaired the issue of mobile phones runs somewhat deeper. It’s just not a question of choice but practicality. The fiddly buttons, small screens and tricky navigation can make them a true nightmare, especially for the hard of sight and people with dexterity problems (for example arthritis sufferers).
That’s why I’ve been rather taken with the latest addition to Bea Fon’s range of big button mobiles. Bea Fon is a new big button mobile phone manufacturer who provides phones that are not only easy to use but stylish and modern in design.
The Bea-fon S20 is the latest easy to use, basic mobile phone with a whole range of useful features for everyday use. At just 85g the Beafon S20 is also one of the lightest easy to use big button phones on the market.

It’s a good piece of kit but compared to a lot of the new smartphones on the market it sounds a bit dated with a narrow range of functions….

Big button phones are great. No need to fiddle about, no stupid MP3 players and other distractions. They are like Ronseal for phones – it does exactly what it says on the tin. I have one, not because I’m impaired in any way, more that I like the functionality of it and its ease of use…
