You set it up and manage it from your own iPhone. FOR THE FAMILY MEMBER'S PHONE • Up to 6 large contact tiles with photos and colors • One tap calls the person. That's it • Optional red Help button that calls a contact you choose • Optional FaceTime and text choices on each tile (off unless you turn them on) • Nothing to configure, delete, or break. The phone simply shows the people who matter FOR YOUR PHONE (THE CAREGIVER) • Add, edit, and reorder their contacts from anywhere • Changes appear on their phone automatically • Turn FaceTime and texting on or off for them • Set up the Help button and decide whether it calls immediately or asks first • Pair once with a 6-digit code. No accounts to create, no passwords to remember WHAT YOU NEED CareDial connects two iPhones: yours and your family member's. • Two iPhones, each signed in to its own Apple Account.
