Simple phone for older person could be louder
I got this for my 92 year old father and generally it was good but he decided it wasn't as loud as the old one so I ended up getting another one of the old version elsewhere but I think it had more to do with his reluctance to change (understandable at 92) than the phone.

Easy worked phone and great value
Bought for an elderly relative for the bigger screen and numbers as a mobile is very handy when they are in the hospital, they can work it easily and can access the phone numbers list that was put in for them so perfect for the job.

Hello Bald_Bloke
SIM Free Doro 1380 Mobile Phone - Red
In the United Kingdom, the Doro 1380 should continue to work in 2026.
2G Network Status: All major UK network operators (EE, Virgin Media O2, Vodafone, and Three) have agreed to maintain their 2G networks until at least 2033. Individual operators may start partial shutdowns later, but general 2G service for calls and texts is expected to be available for several more years.
3G Network Status: The 3G network switch-off, which has a faster timeline (mostly completed by 2025), does not affect the Doro 1380 as it does not use 3G.
Carrier Compatibility: Note that the Doro 1380 is not compatible with the Three network, as Three has never had a 2G network. It will work with other UK providers and their virtual operators (like Tesco Mobile on O2, Asda Mobile on Vodafone, etc.).
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hello Les.
From the information we have available, I can advise the SIM Free Doro 1380 Mobile Phone will work with a giffgaff SIM card. The Doro 1380 is an unlocked phone that supports 2G networks and uses micro SIM cards. Giffgaff SIM cards are triple-SIMs, which means they can be used as standard, micro, or nano SIMs.
