If this year hadn’t been the case, we could have run the usual Christmas gift circles again this year. We’d take a look at their most up-to-date widgets, while explaining why they’re really good. Like when a child asks for the latest video game console because it is not just a game, but a skill development tool.
Even as an adult, you might be familiar with this story, for example the expensive smartwatch that rings when we sit in too much space. This is also the case when we buy a tablet, a phone for grandparents so that the whole family can make video calls. But not everyone is receptive to these devices: among other things, they invented the Blaupunkt phone, which we also tested.
The benefits of a great phone
This model It bears the style cues of the flip phones that became fashionable in the early 2000s. Big keys, dual screen, camera. That’s it and nothing more. Its use in itself does not need to be explained much, since it takes all its characteristics for granted. You look at it and you know immediately what it is for, because at first glance you can sell yourself to the right audience. For those who need nothing more than to be available on the phone and don’t care about 4G, 5G, or the high-megapixel front and rear cameras, this may be the ideal option.
However, it is somehow different from other phones in the category – during testing, our favorite was the red button on the back of the device, which is an SOS emergency call. Of course, you could also say that this is the case for all devices, as you can make an emergency call from any of them, but there is more to it than that. With this button you can not only notify family members, but alert them. This is not just any emergency call, as the service available in Telenor can be configured separately.
This is how the SOS Center works
the SOS Center receives almost 100 calls a day, some of which are when the caller just wants to know if he needs to charge his device, but there are those who simply thank him that the center staff takes care of him throughout the week. It is important to note that this is not just a health check. Center staff have already installed air conditioning, put on a television, caught a thief and prevented a fire in the insured client’s apartment.
Since the quarantine situation, special attention has been paid to the elderly, with whom contact is less frequent or only online in many families due to greater protection. According to recent cross-country research from Telenor, this could make its mark this Christmas too, making the need even more important: to safely meet older family members. According to the research, 44% of respondents plan to have fewer personal meetings during the holidays this year due to the epidemic, and almost 50% of them believe that they will not meet with older relatives, parents and grandparents who live in a unshared home. As a result of the viral situation, older people are also less likely to have social interactions: 64% of people aged 60 to 69 have reduced the frequency of personal encounters, while only 35% of young adults (of 18 to 29 years).

The service is easily accessible. All you have to do is press the red button on the back of the phone, the dispatcher will be there at the end of the line in a few seconds and you will know all the important information based on the data previously entered online. You know the name and address of the insured, what medications you are taking, what illness you have, the names of relatives, neighbors who can be notified, telephone numbers and more. If the dispatcher is unable to speak to the insured for any reason, he will take immediate action, call the neighbor, the relatives to see what could have happened.
In addition to the above examples, the SOS emergency call also helps older people who do not understand phones at all to get the help they need in time, so as not to discover days later that they may have been lying on the floor for hours because they he slipped out of bed and hit himself.
By the way, the app has other practical possibilities. We found it very useful to be able to update the list of notifiers through it, as well as to keep the list of medications and medical history updated. The latter can be useful for those who work in the exchange in case of an emergency call.
Therefore, we would recommend this phone and the SOS Center service available not only to parents and grandparents who do not understand smartphones, but also to adults who are afraid of their parents and grandparents.
