Our verdict

Both let a senior call by pressing a photo, which helps with memory loss. Choose the Future Call FC-1507 for a stay-at-home senior โ€” it's a corded home phone that works in a power outage, with a 911 key and a 40 dB handset, for about $30. Choose the Easyfone T6 if the senior needs a mobile phone to carry with them, with photo speed-dial, an SOS button, and a charging dock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both let you call by pressing a photo โ€” so what actually decides it?
Whether the person needs to carry it. The Future Call FC-1507 is a corded home phone: it stays in one room but costs about $30, has a 40 dB amplified handset, and is line-powered so it keeps working in a blackout. The Easyfone T6 is a mobile phone (about $60, SIM and charging dock included) that goes with them. Photo dialing is on both, so it is not the deciding feature.
What happens in a power outage?
The Future Call keeps working โ€” it draws power from the phone line rather than an outlet, which is a genuine advantage for a stay-at-home senior. The Easyfone T6 depends on its battery and its charging dock like any mobile phone.
Is the 911 key or the SOS button a medical alert service?
No. The Future Call has a dedicated red 911 key and the Easyfone T6 has an SOS button, but both simply place a call โ€” neither connects to a monitoring center and neither is a monitored medical alert service. If the concern is a fall when no one is nearby, a monitored device is the right category instead.
Which is louder for hearing loss?
The Future Call is the one with a published figure: a 40 dB amplified handset, hearing-aid compatible, suited to moderate loss. The Easyfone T6 is described as clear, loud, and hearing-aid compatible without a stated gain figure.
