Your Age UK My Phone will arrive fully charged and the battery will typically last for up to five days. The light on the front of the phone will slowly flash red when it needs charging. You will be supplied with a charging cable, where one end needs to be plugged into the socket located at the bottom of the phone. At the other end of the charging cable there is a standard three-pin plug, which should be plugged into the mains. The red light stays on while the Age UK My Phone is charging and goes off when the phone is fully charged (after about 1.5 hours).
Yes, the numbers can be changed instantly over the phone by calling Customer Services on 0800 085 2761. Changing the names is a bit more complicated and will require a replacement handset, for which there is a cost of £40.
No, there is no voicemail service. An incoming call will just continue ringing until the caller ends the call.
No, the Age UK My Phone is only programmed to operate in the UK.
Yes, you can change to an alternative price plan, which will start from your next billing period (i.e. if you request it in January, the change will come into effect for your February bill).

The mobile has an on/off button which can be used to turn the phone off at the user’s convenience. This prevents any calls being made. When the phone is on each button needs a direct press to be activated and to date we haven’t had any reports of accidentally-pressed buttons being a problem.
There is also a lanyard provided which arrives already attached to the phone and when it is worn in this style it would be unusual for buttons to be accidentally pressed.
Each phone is printed to order and requires complete personalisation with your choice of design, number of buttons and printed with the names and pre-programmed with the contact numbers. There is no difference in price to when choosing between the 2, 4 or 8 phone option.
Unlike PAYG plans, by having the Age UK My Phone monthly airtime plans, there’s the added assurance that you’ll never be dropped from a call if you run out of credit.
At present, airtime coverage for the Age UK My Phone is restricted to the UK only.
As long as the Age UK My Phone is in the UK, you can receive international calls from anyone and anywhere in the world.
Plans to make the Age UK Phone available for use outside of the UK are currently being reviewed.
The Age UK My Phone can be used by anyone who wants a simple, straight-forward and easy-to-use mobile phone.

Downloads
A download is a document (like a research report, a leaflet, or an application form) that can be transferred from our website to your computer. You can download a file, view it on your screen, print it, or save it to your computer.
PDF stands for ‘portable document format’.
Most downloads on this website are PDFs. We use this format to ensure that the document looks the same on everyone’s computer (website pages, by contrast, appear differently depending on how people have set their computer up).
Computers use a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader to download PDFs. If you try clicking on a link to download a PDF and it doesn’t work, you will need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader onto your computer.
The process is quite straightforward and is free.
PDFs cannot be changed. If you need to be able to type into a downloaded document (for example, if we are offering a letter template that you need to put your name on) we will provide it as a Microsoft Word document rather than a PDF. You can then download it, type into it and save it to your computer.
Downloads will open on your computer in a new browser window.
Inside this window (below all your web browser menus), there will be a toolbar with options for you to print or save the document.
