Whether you're looking for an emergency call button for home and on the go, or simply an easy-to-use mobile phone for seniors, the One Button Phone is an excellent choice! This compact device is worn on the wrist and was specially designed to meet the unique needs of older adults. It offers intuitive controls and is equipped with features perfectly suited to the everyday lives of seniors. But what sets our device apart from the competition? We'll tell you!
1. Easy to use
Conventional smartphones and smartwatches can quickly become overwhelming for seniors. Touchscreens, gesture controls, and side buttons make operation unnecessarily complicated. With the One Button Phone, however, the main functions are controlled by a single button! This button is also quite large and stands out clearly from the rest of the display. This makes operation incredibly simple. This is a huge advantage, especially in stressful situations. You simply need to find the button and can send an emergency call by pressing and holding it.
2. No subscription model
Many seniors want to significantly increase their sense of security in their own homes and therefore opt for an emergency call button that connects them directly to an on-call emergency service. However, these are subscription-based models that require you to pay high monthly fees, even if you don't use the service. The One Button Phone also has an emergency call button and connects you to your pre-defined emergency contacts in case of an emergency. The only difference is: you don't have to take out a subscription!
3. Free choice of mobile network provider
Although you don't need an expensive subscription for the One Button Phone, you do need a SIM card to use it to its full extent. Which mobile provider you choose is entirely up to you. This also means you don't have to enter into a contract. If you want to be free to choose and switch providers at any time, you can simply get a prepaid SIM card. This clearly sets our One Button Phone apart from competing products, where you are tied to a contract and therefore to a specific provider, as is the case with many smartwatches and smartphones.
4. Works even without a smartphone
While many smartwatches can only be used for making calls, and therefore only for emergency calls, when connected to a nearby smartphone via Bluetooth, the One Button Phone works independently! It simply needs to be set up once using the family app on a smartphone. A relative can easily do this for you. The senior citizen doesn't need any additional device and can use the One Button Phone independently after setup, thanks to the SIM card.
5. Fall detection with different setting options
The fall detection feature of the One Button Phone can save lives. If you trip on the carpet, fall down the stairs, or slip on the wet bathroom floor and lose consciousness, the One Button Phone automatically calls for help and activates the emergency call function. Similar products do this as well. However, many devices offer very limited or no customization options. With the One Button Phone, on the other hand, you can individually adjust the sensitivity to suit your needs.
6. Protection against fraudulent calls
The One Button Phone is not only ideal for emergency calls, but can also be used for regular phone calls. You decide who can call you by simply adding the relevant numbers to the whitelist. This protects you from unwanted advertising calls and scams like the notorious grandparent scam. Conventional smartphones and smartwatches, on the other hand, don't always have a whitelist function. Often, you have to block contacts individually or mark your favorites.
7. Use of German servers
With the One Button Phone, you don't need to worry about your data, as we use German servers. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with all manufacturers of comparable products. It becomes particularly problematic when the servers are located outside the EU. With the One Button Phone, however, you don't need to spend time researching where your data is stored. We are transparent with our customers, use only German servers, and guarantee compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
8. No hidden costs
With us, you get exactly what we advertise. You simply pay the purchase price for the One Button Phone and choose a mobile provider with a suitable plan. We don't have any subscription traps or hidden costs, as can sometimes be the case with other providers. If you opt for a smartwatch or smartphone with a contract, you may sometimes have to pay a one-time activation fee. Often, you'll also be charged for an additional security package that you accidentally added.
9. Up to three emergency numbers
When you activate the emergency call function on your One Button Phone, a call cascade is initiated. First, the first contact is called. If they don't answer, the call is forwarded to the second and finally to the third contact. The likelihood of reaching someone is therefore significantly higher than with just one emergency number. However, many smartphones and smartwatches only allow you to program one number by default. So, if the person in question is asleep, in an important meeting, or has left their phone at home, you won't be able to reach anyone.
10. Mobile usable
Smartwatches and smartphones can usually be used outside the home. However, with a smartwatch, it's crucial to ensure it has its own SIM card slot. Otherwise, it's useless in an emergency without a corresponding smartphone! This isn't the case with the One Button Phone. It works without any additional device. Since you wear it directly on your wrist, you can't forget it. This gives it a clear advantage over emergency call buttons from home emergency call providers. Their emergency call buttons typically require a connection to the base station – which is located inside your house. The signal might reach as far as the garden, but this solution is unsuitable for a leisurely stroll around the block or a weekend shopping trip.
