The Doro 1360 is a highly specialised cellphone that has been created in order to cater to the very specific needs of the elderly. This Doro cellphone is affordable to all and can really give family and friends the peace of mind needed, when they have elderly friends or relatives. This is particularly so when seniors continue to live independently.
Assistance button - The Asda Mobile team think the assistance button is the key feature that makes the Doro 1360 so useful, in terms of safety and security. You can store up to five cellphone numbers for use with the assistance button. The assistance button can then be pressed for three seconds, after which the cellphone will send out a 'help needed' text message, to each of the five cellphone numbers. The cellphone will then call the first cellphone number and if the call isn't answered after 25 seconds, then the cellphone will call the next emergency contact. The assistance feature can be set to continually loop through the emergency contacts until the call is answered.
ICE - ICE (In Case of Emergency) is a very handy feature that can be used for storing the owners specific medical details. First responders to a medical emergency can quickly access this crucial information. Within ICE, you can store the details of medical conditions, your blood type, allergies, medications, your doctor's details and emergency contact numbers.
Start-up wizard - Setting up a mobile phone can seem like a daunting task and this is particularly so when there is no tech savvy people around to give a helping hand. The Doro 1360 tackles this issue very well through its start-up wizard. The first time that the Doro 1360 is switched on, the cellphone asks a series of simple questions and the answers to these complete the set up for you. It really couldn't be easier to set up a mobile phone.
