Emporia Simplicity V27 Mobile Phone for Seniors - Money Off!

While most modern phones are bogged down with complicated extra features, the Emporia Simplicity V27 Mobile Phone for Seniors lives up to its name, and is designed with simplicity in mind. This stripped back build, along with its large, light-up buttons, hearing aid compatibility and one-touch speed dialling, make it a fantastic option for anyone with hearing, vision, or memory issues.

On top of this, the back of the phone has an SOS button that calls and texts emergency contacts until somebody answers, giving elderly people and their loved ones greater peace of mind.

Money-Saving Offer!

Some of our stock of the Emporia Simplicity V27 Phone has previously been used for demonstrative purposes and, as such, shows superficial signs of use. This includes slight scuffing on the exterior of the phone but the use of the mobile is NOT affected. In light of this fact, we are offering the affected stock for the reduced price of £39.99 while stocks last.

Is the Screen Simple and Easy to Read?

This Emporia phone uses a landscape screen with text that is bold, large and clear to read. The size of the text is also adjustable, so when you're setting it up you can tailor the size to suit the needs of the user.

Will I Be Able to Hear This Phone?

Emporia phones are designed specifically for people who are hard of hearing, which is why they feature an adjustable volume that goes very loud, allowing for clear communication. The Simplicity V27 is also compatible with hearing aids, up to and including the M4/T4 specification, which is the highest specification of hearing aid there is. The adjustable volume also means that if you're not hard of hearing, you can choose to turn the phone down enough that you don't subsequently become hard of hearing. 

How Does This Phone Help in Emergencies? 

The Emporia emergency button has a fivefold set of safety features that helps give you and your loved ones peace of mind. It's easy to use and has been designed by experts to pre-empt the type of situation it may need to be used in.

The Fivefold Safety Features Are:

1. When the emergency button is pressed, up to five predefined contacts that you choose when setting up the phone will be called until someone answers. 
2. The phone will automatically go to loudspeaker mode so that communication can be clear and audible despite limited mobility or other issues. 
3. A pre-prepared emergency SMS text will be sent to an emergency number. 
4. GPS-enabled phones will provide their coordinates with the emergency call, allowing emergency services to know the exact location of the person pressing the emergency button. 
5. A loud alarm tone will sound when the emergency button is pressed to help draw the attention of anyone in the vicinity to the emergency situation.
