Life phone for the over 50’s

A new mobile phone has been announced at CeBit targeting the over 50’s.

The Life phone offers a spacious keypad and large monochrome screen, and instead of the usual camera or music player, it offers a loud speaker tuned for those who are hard of hearing. The feature set covers just the basic communication needs of telephone calls and text messages. The vibrate alert is particularly strong, and the ring tones can be programmed to a high level.

On the back of the phone is a large red button, which can be programmed with a special emergency number. You can also pre program text messages on the phone that can be sent in an emergency with few button pushes.

The Life Phone is expected to be available globally from May
