What people say
Only a few ratings so far, not enough to show a trend yet.
1 rating so far
The display switches itself off after a pre-selected number of seconds which is hopeless as if you are not near when a call or text arrives you won't know as there is no indication visible on the screen until you unlock the keypad at some point in the future.
Just a cheap basic phone as the emergency assist is no good and will not work when needed. Make sure you do not have anyone relying on this function.

What people actually want to know
Why does my Doro PhoneEasy 508 say SMS full when I've deleted all messages?
This error occurs when hidden messages (especially drafts) remain stored on your phone or SIM card even after deleting visible texts. Follow these steps to clear all message memory:
- Press Menu, then OK
- Navigate to Settings, press OK
- Scroll to Messages, press OK
- Scroll to Delete, press OK
- Select Delete All, press OK
- Restart your phone to refresh the memory status
If the error persists, draft messages may be stored on your SIM card without a visible drafts folder. Remove your SIM, insert it into another phone (like a Nokia or smartphone), delete all draft messages from the SIM, then reinsert it into your Doro.
Last resort: Perform a factory reset via Settings menu. First, copy all contacts to your SIM by selecting a contact, then “Copy All,” then “From Phone.” The reset will delete everything stored on the phone but should resolve persistent memory errors.
Doro PhoneEasy 508 says storage full but no messages to delete - how to fix?
If your Doro PhoneEasy 508 shows “storage full” when sending SMS but you can’t see any messages to delete, hidden draft messages or MMS data may be taking up space. Follow these steps:
- Delete all messages: Go to Settings > Messages > Delete All to clear all message data including hidden files.
- Restart properly: Turn off the phone, remove the battery (if possible), wait 2 minutes, then reinsert and power on.
- Clear SIM card drafts: If the problem continues, remove your SIM card and insert it into another phone (like a Nokia or smartphone) to access and delete draft messages stored on the SIM that aren’t visible on the Doro.
- Check for updates: Visit the Doro support website to see if software updates are available for your phone model.
Prevention tip: Avoid sending very long text messages, as they may convert to MMS and use hidden storage space.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact Doro technical support for further assistance.

Thank you for your help. Phone belongs to my elderly neighbour and hadn't thought to check the balance left. As only 7p left that will explain why not able to make a call!! Thanks again, Judy
