Mobile with changeable font

I am looking for a phone that I can read who's calling without My glasses' but don't want a phone that looks like a toy !! Why do they think that because your eyesight is bad you don't want a stylish phone?????

    You would not know if its a stylish phone or not with bad eyesight :eek:

    What phone are you using?, a lot of them have increase/decrease font size capability but not changing actual font. You can download and install new fonts for a few phones though.

    I think all phones except the cheapest ones allow you adding photos to your contacts in the list. The phone shows the photo of the person calling you.

    It doesn't have to be a photo. It can be an image, e.g. a text with big letters.

    That has gotta be well old - had an LG flip phone years ago, I twisted it, broke it in two and chucked it in the the bin (on contract too) - it was that rubbish. Would happily have stamped on it too.

    PS not suggesting you follow my example above :D.

    Shop around - pop into the shops to play around. Check the specs (font capabilities included) on the internet before buying.
