The new Emporia LifePLUS has been redesigned to create a stylish yet functional mobile phone. Its alluminium body makes the phone lightwieght and yet extremely durable.Every menu feature can be activated with a slide switch.

Other features include a large screen and display, oversized and easy to use buttons, and a super loud speaker and ring volume. The phone also has a powerful vibration alert to ensure the owner knows when someone is calling. Its orange backlight is particularly helpful for people with sight problems, and the phone has added features for those with hearing difficulties, as it is compatible with digital hearing aids.

Perhaps the most important feature of the phone is its unique emergency button. A large red button is situated on the back of the phone and can be programmed to call up to five designated numbers for help. This may be a relative, a neighbour, a doctor, or simply anyone the owner trusts to be of help in an emergency. It can also be programmed to send off a pre-written text to another mobile phone asking for assistance.
