The need for a Facebook and/or WhatsApp account when spending a lot of money on this product is non sensible.

Older people may not have WhatsApp or Facebook accounts, but want to be able to use this device.

Children, who cannot sign up for a Facebook account or have a mobile phone are also unable to use this device.

At a bear minimum, there should be an option to have a "portal" account, and so portals would be able to call other portals.

I have purchased 7 for the family as thought it would be fantastic, but the theory seems far better than the reality..

Which is, is not very well thought through at all.

How can you, enable children and the elderly, EASY access to be able to call family?

Note the word easy, as getting a WhatsApp or fb account is not easy.
