Hi I am Steven Virgadamo and am new here. I am looking for advice regarding a cell phone that can increase the size of the font easily for my dad. He is having a hard time seeing and reading the screen. Any advice gratly appreciated.

.....allow the user to resize the font size on the display. More importantly, what cellular carrier and what is your/his budget ??
Verizon is the carrier. Budget is something which will work for him.he needs to see fonts and apps.
Thank you - Steven Virgadamo
....either an Android or an iPhone. On my Samsung S4, under settings I select "accessibility" and I can easily change the font size. Hope that helps.
Thank you. The font size has been fixed . Can you suggest a means to increase the size of the app icons on an iPhone .

Even then, most iPhone third party ROMs I have seen don't mess with icon size, merely functionality.
Did you read my answer in http://forums.cnet.com/7723-12545_102-615666/can-you-increase-the-size-of-the-app-icon-on-iphone-4s/?messageId=5564485#message5564485
It links to a discussion about the ZOOM option that made me think it works right out of the box. Can you have a look?
