Nokia (Symbian S60) help. How to make make incoming call phone number BIGGER?

[SuperGroove]

I got my mom one of these:


And didn't realize how small the fonts were on the screen. Specifically, incoming caller numbers are too small for my 63 year young mom.

I've tried to give her an iPhone, but she just wants something super basic. If I can't find a way to get the incoming call font bigger, is there a GSM dumb phone out there that you guys recommend?

Thanks!

Does symbian S60 have an app store, or can you search the web for apps for that phone. I don't know if it even uses apps (in the modern sense), but if so, maybe there is an accessibility app that can change the fonts and whatnot.

I still have a Nokia E71 that is basically like your E51 but with a QWERTY keyboard. I haven't used it in a while, but I'll see if there are any such settings. You might want to download the user manual from Nokia's website in the meantime.

BTW the E51 is a smartphone, not a dumbphone. S60's menus consist of layer upon layer upon layer. It can be quite intimidating and rather unfriendly. An iPhone would be far easier for your mother to use.

thanks, I downloaded a similar program, but the tops of numbers are cut off. I may try the one you suggested, but it's $5.00.

you're right. She does want a candybar phone. I thought that the E51s screen size and keyboard would mean easy to read font and easy to use. I was wrong.
