What is TTfone?
TTfone is a UK-based phone manufacturer specialising in simple, easy-to-use mobile phones designed for seniors, people with accessibility needs, or anyone who wants a straightforward phone without smartphone complexity.
They have been making simple phones since the early days of mobile and have built a loyal customer base — particularly among families buying phones for elderly relatives who find modern smartphones overwhelming.
TTfone phones are available on GadgetRank's Simple & Accessible Phones page.
What makes TTfone phones different?
TTfone phones are designed around simplicity:
Large buttons — physical keys that are easy to press and clearly labelled. No touchscreen confusion.
Big fonts and clear displays — text is large and easy to read even for those with reduced vision.
Simple menus — making a call, sending a text and accessing contacts is straightforward. No apps to navigate, no notifications to dismiss.
Emergency SOS button — many TTfone models include a dedicated SOS button, often on the back or side of the phone, that can call a pre-set emergency contact with a single press.
Long battery life — simple phones use far less power than smartphones. Most TTfone models last several days on a single charge.
TTfone model range
TTfone offers phones across several price points and feature levels:
Budget (under £25) — models like the TT880 and TT190 offer basic calling and texting with big buttons and simple menus. The TT190 includes a talking keypad and SOS button. From £17.99.
Mid-range (£25-£50) — models like the TT660 and TT760 add a flip/clamshell design that many seniors prefer — the phone opens to answer and closes to end calls. The TT760 adds 4G connectivity. From £34.99.
Premium (£80+) — the TT280 and TT970 offer 4G connectivity, WhatsApp support and Android-based smart features while maintaining the simple interface TTfone is known for. From £79.99.
TTfone quality and reliability
TTfone phones are well-built for their price point. They are not premium devices — the screens and cameras are basic compared to modern smartphones — but they are reliable, durable and do exactly what they are designed to do.
Customer reviews consistently highlight ease of use as the standout quality, particularly from families who have bought them for elderly relatives.
TTfone prices
TTfone sell direct through their website, with most phones available with a choice of SIM card (EE, O2, Vodafone, GiffGaff) or without a SIM. Prices start from under £20 for basic models.
