Artfone Manuals & User Guides

Artfone is a mobile phone brand dedicated to providing accessible communication devices specifically designed for the elderly and individuals seeking simplicity. Manufactured by Shenzhen Kuxuntong Technology Co., Ltd., Artfone products focus on usability over complexity. Their lineup primarily consists of feature phones (both candy bar and flip styles) that address common challenges faced by seniors, such as vision and hearing impairments.

Key features of Artfone devices include oversized tactile buttons for easy dialing, high-volume speakers for clearer calls, and simple operating systems that avoid the clutter of modern smartphones. A standout feature across most Artfone models is the dedicated SOS emergency button, which allows users to quickly contact pre-set family members or emergency services with a single press. The brand also produces 4G-enabled models to ensure compatibility with modern network standards while maintaining a user-friendly interface.

• How do I set up the SOS emergency button on my Artfone?

  Navigate to 'Settings' and select 'SOS Settings' (or 'SOS'). Ensure the status is set to 'On.' You can then input up to 5 emergency phone numbers. When the SOS button is pressed, the phone will dial these numbers in sequence and send an emergency text message.

• What size SIM card does the Artfone C1+ or C1 use?

  Most modern Artfone models, such as the C1+ 4G, use a Nano SIM card. Older or specific 2G models might accept Micro or Standard SIMs, but an adapter is often included or easy to obtain.

• How do I unlock the keypad on my Artfone device?

  Depending on the model, you can usually unlock the keypad by pressing the 'Unlock' button followed by the '*' key, or by sliding a dedicated key-lock switch located on the side of the phone.

• Does the Artfone support 4G networks?

  Yes, many newer Artfone models (like the C1+ 4G and G6 4G) support 4G LTE networks, ensuring better coverage and compatibility as 3G networks are phased out.

• Why is my Artfone not reading the SIM card?

  Ensure the SIM card is inserted correctly according to the diagram near the slot. Also, check that the SIM is activated by your carrier and that the card size (Nano vs Micro) matches the tray requirements.
