The bottom line on the Doro7050 and the 618 is that they are cheap phones. These companies rush stuff to the market to make a profit. My old LG. Flip phone gave me 15 years of talk and text and even web search. Never once did I changed battery or have to charge it more than 30minutes at a time.

My 2year old Doro will not hold the charge,100%.then 30 minutes later 6% down not used.? Do l need to buy a new battery? Or phone?

My turned off and now it wiil not turn back on. I tried charging it. It still has a black screen. I even took the battery out, and reinstall it no luck.

I had a similar phone with m Doro. When I spoke to a representative with my Service Provider, she suggested that the problem COULD be a weak battery. Since my DORO was still under warranty, she sent out a new battery right away. I put in the new battery, and the Doro has worked fine since then. Something else which I learned from my son, who has an I Phone - all of the new stuff which the phones can do nowadays also makes the batteries work harder. The SAME thing is true of the battery in your car. If you have a newer model of car - you will notice your battery needing more special care more often because all of the stuff inside the car which the car now does ALSO makes the battery work harder.

Mine dosent even show a red light mine just stays black the whole time what can I do??

Have you tried re-installing the battery to the phone? Try it and charge for like 10 minutes then try turning it on again. Also, have you tried charging on a different charging cable, USB port, or wall socket? The problem may be on one of those and not in your phone.
