Telstra has launched a 3G mobile phone specifically marketed at seniors and older Australians.
The EasyTouch Discovery 3 reportedly has a main focus of being a simple flip phone that has “extra-large buttons”.
Working on the design for more than six months, Telstra claims its customers requested a simpler menu for easier navigations to allow older Australians to obtain the “core” functions they need – quickly and with “minimal fuss”.
The phone has large fonts and audible key tones when dialling phone numbers to aid hearing impaired consumers. The handset also allows users to view both missed calls and new messages by simply opening the phone, negating the need to browse through menus to access these core functions.
Featuring a 3-megapixel camera, an MP3 player, hands-free speakerphone capability and a microSD card slot for extra storage, the phone is also Blue Tick rated, which means it delivers enhanced reception and coverage in regional and rural areas of Australia.
