Senior-Centric Smartphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Device's Interface & Features Make It the Ideal Phone For Seniors

— August 6, 2021 — Life-Stages
The 'Lively Smart' is an innovative new phone for seniors who want and need the ability to quickly and easily stay connected to friends and family, but prefer to be able to navigate a simplified interface with minimal clutter and confusion.

Designed to cater to the specific needs of the elderly, the 'Lively Smart' boasts a large screen, long-lasting battery, large typeface and a single and easy-to-navigate list of simply-labelled features such as phone, text messages, internet, email and camera.

What's more, the device can also be obtained with additional monthly packages for added peace of mind. These include an urgent response button for $20 a month, urgent response with the ability to alert friends and family for $25 a month, and $35 for these features on top of a personal operator who can book rides through Lyft.

With its simplified interface and suite of optional emergency alert features, the 'Lively Smart' is the ideal phone for seniors.
