    Does this phone have graphics for text messages? What I mean by this is my sister-in-law sent me a text with smiley faces but when I received it looked like blackened squares

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      We appreciate you posting, Jack. The Doro 7050 does not support emojis, so you won’t receive those images within a text message. We hope you have a lovely day!

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

  20. John says

    In the manual, there is a setting which allows you to answer calls by opening the phone. However, I don’t see anything about ending calls by closing the phone. Is this possible, or do you always have to press the power button to end calls?

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Great question, John! The phone is automatically programmed to hang up when you close the phone during the call, in addition to using the power button. We appreciate you posting!

  21. Brian says

    1. How do I change my voicemail greeting on my new Doro 7050? I could not find any instructions in any of the materials I received at the time of purchase or online.

    2. Is there a way of retrieving deleted voicemail messages? I accidentally deleted some on my Doro 7050 and would like to get them back if possible

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Brian, you can change your voicemail greeting by calling your voicemail. When you’re in the main menu, press “3” for Greetings, then press either “2” to record a custom greeting, “3” to record your name as the greeting, or “4” to set your phone number as the greeting.

      If you have deleted a voicemail message, there is no way to retrieve it once you’ve exited the voicemail system.

  22. Bob sang says

    Can I transfer my contacts from a Samsung galaxy j7 to my new doro 7050

      Hi Bob, you can transfer your contacts between the two phones using a SIM card. If you need help doing this, give us a call at 888-345-5510 or chat with us here.

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Richard, pairing can typically be done just through Bluetooth. You can find the Bluetooth settings on the Doro 7050 by going to Menu > Settings > Network & Connectivity > Bluetooth. If you’re having trouble pairing your phone with your car, then we recommend referring to your car’s manual or taking it to the dealership if possible.

  25. Cindy Kruk says

    Just got this phone for my sister who just needs phone & texts. Received texts & photos from family & would like to save photos to the gallery, but that is not one of the options
    How do we do that?

  27. Mark says

    I am looking for a phone for a blind friend. Does this phone speak the time and remaining battery life?

    • Hi Mark, that’s a great question, thanks for posting! The Doro 7050 does not have this ability, but the Alcatel Go Flip phone does have that talk back capability via its accessibility features. You can view more on this phone here.

  28. Jason says

    What’s the sar value of this nice phone?

  29. Bernice says

    Where is the internal antenna located in the Doro 7050?

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Thank you for the question, Bernice. In general, the antenna should be located on the lower half of the phone at the bottom.

  30. Roberta says

    How do you set airplane mode on the Doro 7050

  31. Marilyn Fluegel says

    Will you post an operating instructions video for the DORO 7050 that I can access online? The only one I’ve seen is for a different model that differs from mine. I do not see anything in the print manual (that came with my phone)telling me how I can view my missed calls. I got my phone just a few days ago. THIS IS URGENT!

  32. Gary siebert says

    Like the new 7050. Just wish the sim card from my old doro 626 would fit in it to make transferring contacts easier. Old card is bigger than the new ones. Guess I can try a Bluetooth transfer. Will that work?

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Gary, transferring via Bluetooth is definitely an option. You can also give us a call at 888-345-5509 or chat with us here and we would be happy to help.

  33. Harvey says

    Can you transfer photo’s from this phone to a Mac Computer or be able to make photo prints from the SD Card?

    • Hi Harvey, that’s a great question thanks for posting. You can definitely move those photos over to your Mac, you’ll just need a standard micro USB cable to connect your Doro phone to the computer and then drag the files over that you’re wanting to save there. If you have a memory SD card, you can also place it in the phone to save them there and make prints of them if that would be easier.

  34. Deborah Horger says

    Texting with the numbers keyboard is proving to be too challenging for my elderly father. Rather than cancelling the unlimited texting, I am hoping there is a talk to text feature, but I haven’t found a consistent answer on whether this is available.

    • Thanks for your question, Deborah. The Doro 7050 doesn’t have the speech to text option, however, our smartphones and our GrandPad do have the options available to make it a bit easier. If you’d like to take a closer look at these options, visit our website here0.

  35. Lisa callahan says

    Can you download the “Alexa” app to the Doro?

  36. Sandra Lawson says

    How would I do a group texting on my new doro 7050?

    • Hi Sandra, great question, thanks for posting! With the Doro 7050, when you’re setting the message up, select the people that you want to send it to and add them to the “To” box. You’ll need to add them one by one though by going up to the “To” box once one contact is entered and then you can select the next one that you want to add.

  37. Debra says

    My doro 7050 will not sync to my infotainment in my 2014 toyota. I am being told it is not a smart phone and will not stay linked to the radio for hands free driving. It does the same thing in 2019 equinox also. So I can’t use phones unless they are smartphones for hand free driving. Are all your flip phones not smart phones?

    • Hi Debra, thanks for your question! Our flip phones are not smartphones, they don’t have the capacity to connect to our data network as the smartphones do. They can link up with basic Bluetooth sets, but depending on the one that your car is using, the phone may not be compatible with it.

  38. Gerry says

    When using the FM radio function, does it use up plan minutes?

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      That’s a great question, Gerry. Using the FM radio does not use minutes from your plan.

  39. john says

    I have a7050 phone which I can get connected to my sante fe sport vehicle,but I can not transfer contacts from phone to vehicle.please help.what am I doing wrong?

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Thank you for posting, John. Unfortunately, we don’t have information on how to transfer the information to your Sante Fe Sport. I recommend checking with your vehicle’s user manual to see if there are steps on how to transfer contacts from your phone, or check with the dealership.

  40. Chandler says

    I am replacing my old Doro phone with the Doro 7050. When I receive the phone will it be automatically activated or do I have to call Consumer Cellular?

  43. Dean Parks says

    Just set up this phone for my mom. She cannot hear the caller unless the speaker phone is on.
    Can we set the speaker to be default on? Currently she has to enable speaker during each call. Not very convenient.

    • Hi Dean, thanks for your question. I’m sorry to hear about the trouble your mother is having. We don’t have a way to set the phone to be on speakerphone by default, but we can look at increasing the volume using the settings in the phone itself. For assistance with this, please give us a call at 800-686-4460 or you can also chat with us here.

  44. marshall says

    is there a reset button for the doro 7050. My phone won’t charge and the battery is good.

    My door 7050 lost Bluetooth capability. Can I restore it or have to replace it?

  46. Christine A Phillips says

    My 7050 won’t stop double beeping. Battery is charged.

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Christine, if your Doro 7050 is double beeping, I recommend going to Menu > Messages > Options > Settings > Reminder > Off. If this doesn’t resolve the beeping, please give us a call at 888-345-5509 or start a live chat here.

  47. Tracy says

    There is an icon next to some of my doro 7050 contacts but not all of them. What is this?

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Tracy, those contacts could be part of your Top 10 (or speed dial). We’d be happy to check if you give us a call at 888-345-5509 or chat with us here.

  48. Bernadette Dominguez says

    Can you check the voicemail from a different phone

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      You can, Bernadette. All you have to do is call the number and when asked to leave a message, press “*”(star). You’ll then be prompted to enter the voicemail password to access it.

  49. Tom says

    How does one respond to a group text such that all in the group will receive the response? When I attempted this only one person in the group received the response that I sent.

    • Hi Tom, thanks for your question. We’d like to make sure that the feature is working properly for you to make sure those are going through properly. Give us a call at 800-686-4460 or chat with one of our agents here for further assistnace.

  50. carl a. rodriguez says

    can’t get my ringer to ring?

    • Hi Carl, thanks for your message.

If you continue to have trouble, give us a call at 800-686-4460 or chat with one of our agents here.

  51. Eddie Drouillard says

    When they change to 5g can I still use my Doro 7050?

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Eddie, while 3G service is being phased out, 4G LTE service will still function, along with 5G. This means the Doro 7050 will still work.

  52. Jacqulyn Jackson says

    Nicole, can you please tell me how to make the doro 7050 work in a recently changed network to 5g. I have a senior citizen than is 90% blind. Her phone is not getting a signal since the changeover to 5g. Is there something in settings on her doro? She is helpless without her cell phone living in rural arkansas.

    • Nicole at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Jacqulyn, I recommend just having her power the phone all the way off and back on. We recently had an update to fix the issue on that phone, so it should be working after a restart.

  53. claudine holbrook says

    can I get a plan for this that includes my calling from usa to canada?

  54. frank says

    i have two doro 7050 phones and they are doing the same thing one or two times a week , you make phone call , the receiving phone will ring once and the call ends . if you power down and power up everything works okay for a day or two . note these phones are power off most of the time, just turned on when making a call
