Phones For Senior Citizens

I need to get a cellphone for my Dad but can't find anything like he wants.  He just wants a basic cellphone with large buttons and a large display.  Can I get something like this from AT&T?  I'm going to add another line on my account to make the cost more manageable.

 

Thanks!

As a follow-up/update, can the Doro phones from Consumer Cellular be used with an AT&T SIM card?  We need a large button phone for our grandparents and AT&T does not have a good option anymore.  We would like to stay with the ATT network but need to know what phones are compatible.

Consumer Cellular uses the AT&T network. A Doro phone w/an AT&T SIM should work for AT&T.  But I would suggest an easier/cheaper option...just switch him to Consumer Cellullar...much better customer service and probably cheaper depending on his usage patterns.

The DuraXE is impossible to find on the website, but it is a big button, backlit keys, rugged, easy to use and good for hearing aides.

My 82 year old boss is legally blind and was taught at Apple Store (by appointment) how to use his iPhone 5s  accesibility features. It is amazing how he can get email, texts, everything and he has no vision at all.
