We reach a certain point in life when our fingers don't always respond in the way that we woud like them to. We sometimes lose the dexterity to accurately press buttons and apply the right amount of pressure.

Conversely, as technology advances, manufacturers become obsessed with making controls small and even harder to access and use for senior citizens.

That is why this hubpage is a strong advocate of Big Button Phones. Big Button Phones make using the phone easier again for people with limited motion in their hands and fingers. No more misdialling phone numbers - the buttons are right there and easy to press.

We call upon the UK government to remove all VAT on Big Button Phones. These usability aids are an essential item for many people, and the government could make it easier for people to afford them by removing value added tax.

Who makes Big Button Phones?
