BigPurplePhone Family & Friends Network
Setting up your senior's Family & Friends network is easy and doesn't take too long. We recommend you have no more than 30 contacts in your senior's BigPurplePhone so it is not overwhelming for them.
We have designed the contacts on the BigPurplePhone so that typing is minimised. Your senior can tap or scroll through familiar faces when wanting to communicate. For this reason we ask you include a good quality photo of each contact.
The following shows the process for setting up the BigPurplePhone Family & Friends network for your senior.
