Common Questions

Doro released the 6520 on September 27, 2016.

The 6520 price will vary depending on retailer, age, special offers and whether or not it's purchased with a service plan. If purchased with a 2 year service contract for example, you would likely pay much less for the phone itself up front. You can compare Doro 6520 prices from around the web here on The Informr.

We've got you covered! Download a free PDF copy of the Doro 6520 user manual here.

Doro backs up the 6520 with a 1 Year parts & labour warranty.

If your 6520 has problems and is still within its warranty period, you could contact Doro support or the retailer you purchased the phone from. You'll find Doro's contact information here. If your phone is off warranty and needs repair for a physical problem such as a broken screen or bad battery, you should visit an authorized service centre or a local phone repair shop.
