If you want a simple handset complete with impossible-to-miss buttons, then the Emporia rl1’s for you. The phone offers text messages and voice calls, so it’s perfect for those who want nothing but the basics. Ideal for elderly phone users, the Emporia also comes with extra-loud ringtones and bright, flashing displays.
One particularly helpful feature is the phone’s charging dock - like most landline phones, there are no fiddly plugs or connections with the Emporia.
The Emporia rl1 is a simple to use handset from Vodafone that utilises big, easy buttons and a simplified screen interface. As such, this is a perfect phone for people who struggle to press small buttons on most modern mobile phones, or who find them too complicated to use. The Emporia rl1 also benefits from having excellent battery life, lasting up to 8 days on standby.
As a simplified phone the Emporia offers basic voice calls and text messages, keeping things nice and simple. The phone also includes a torch, which will flash when a call is being received to help people who may be hard of hearing. Alternatively the Emporia includes very loud ringtones and can be set to vibrate very powerfully.
Using an all-black candybar design the Emporia is made out of an easy to grip material, and all of the buttons including the number pad, call accept and call reject, are big and easy to press. The Emporia features excellent battery life with 8 hours on standby and 180 minutes talk time, and is also exceptionally easy to charge as it comes with its own charging cradle – as you would find with many modern landline phones.
