Basic mobile phone for senior citizens, Emporia Life gets a Plus

Emporia Life Plus mobile phone

I wasn’t aware that there was such a mobile phone designed specifically for senior citizen users, until now, however, AHD has introduced the Emporia Life Plus mobile phone. If you’re wondering what the “Plus” is all about, that is to signify that this is already the second generation of the Emporia Life mobile phone.

For its second outtake on providing a mobile handset for the older generation of mobile phone users, AHD is giving them a simple-as-you-like handset that has all the basic features that would answer their mobile phone needs. These features include; a “super loud speaker”, oversized display and buttons, built-in flash light, hearing aid compatible ear piece and a quick ICE (In Case of Emergency) access key.

In addition, this mobile phone handset for our dear 50+ year old folks has a 250 hour standby time and weighs only 138g. Likewise, to make the Emporia Life Plus more appealing to our parents and possibly to our grandparents, AHD is releasing the handset with a retail price of around $287. It might not be that cheap, but hey, the Emporia Life Plus would be a useful device for staying in touch with our folks, right? The Emporia Life Plus will be available through PAYG sometime in May.
