The cellphone has a large visual display and large buttons that make it ideal for anyone who has trouble reading the symbols on other cellphone keypads or who may have limited hand dexterity. It also features a loud ring tone.
It also includes a SOS button that works in conjunction with a number pre-programming functionality. Users can pre-programme four numbers, enabling the cellphone to automatically SMS these contacts once the SOS button is pressed. If there is no response to the SMS sent, the cellphone will start calling each of these emergency contacts in a three-way cycle.
“Communication is not a luxury for the few, but a necessity that must be afforded to everyone,” says Shameel Joosub, MD Vodacom South Africa. “Being connected gives people independence, keeps them in contact with their loved ones and provides vital access to emergency services.”
