Another mobile phone aimed at the over-50s and the disabled has been launched.

The Emporia Life phone, which is being distributed by telecommunications company Communic8, has a range of “simple and easy-to-use features”, according to its makers.

These include a large screen with an orange backlight – which, it is claimed, helps those with visual impairments – oversized buttons and a louder-than-average ring volume.

There is also a powerful vibration alert to ensure the owner knows when someone is calling and a large red emergency button that can be programmed to call or send a pre-written text to up to five designated numbers for help in an emergency. It is also said to be compatible with digital hearing aids.

The phone is supplied with a Vodafone pay-as-you-go Sim card. However Communic8 said this doesn’t tie the phone to this mobile provider. The phone is unlocked so it can be used on any network.
