The Carer’s Website on a Big Purple Phone isn’t really a typical app you download — it’s actually a web-based portal (Carer’s Website) that you use on your own phone, tablet or computer to manage the other person’s BigPurplePhone remotely.

Here’s a simple, step-by-step way to use it 👇

🔑 1. Log in to the Carer’s Website

• Go to the Big Purple Phone Carer’s Website

• Log in with the details you were given when the phone was set up

👉 Tip: You can add it to your Home screen so it works like an app.

📱 2. What you can do in the Carer’s app

Once logged in, you can control almost everything on your loved one’s BigPurplePhone:

👥 Contacts & Communication

• Add or edit Contacts

• Upload photos for Contacts (so they’re easy to recognise)

• Video call them directly from the portal

⏰ Reminders & Daily Support

• Set Medication Reminders

• Add Birthdays or Appointments

• Create Alarms for daily routines

⚙️ Phone Settings

• Turn Features on/off (Camera, Weather, Apps, ...)

• Control what appears on the Home screen

• Enable safety features like Safe Callers List

📍 Safety & monitoring

• Use Find My Phone to see location

• Set Emergency Contacts

• Manage SOS settings

🎵 Apps & entertainment

• Add Apps like YouTube, WhatsApp, Spotify

• Choose Music or Radio Stations

📲 3. Using the “Manage” button (on the Phone)

• On the Big Purple Phone itself, there may be a “Manage” button

• This links directly to the same settings as the Carer Portal

• Carers can hide this button if it confuses the user

👍 4. Everyday use (simple way to think about it)

• You (Carer) → use the Portal to set things up

• They (User) → just tap big buttons to call, message or view photos

💡 Helpful tip

Many Carers add the portal to their phone Home screen so it behaves just like an App (faster access).
