Regulatory News:

Doro (STO:DOROA) has signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement
for the US market with Brightpoint North America L.P. (“Brightpoint”),
a subsidiary of Brightpoint, Inc. The first products will be from
Doro’s easy mobile range for senior citizens. At the same time the
American and Canadian authority for regulating telecommunications and radio
frequencies in the USA, the FCC, has approved four products from
Doro’s business unit Care Electronics. Industry Canada has approved the DORO 330. The agreement which covers both
mobile and other telephony products in the Care Electronics business
unit, applies for the United States market.

“This is a strong addition to our international expansion via
distributors and I am very pleased that we are now entering the US
market with one of the world’s leading distributors” says Jerome
Arnaud, Doro’s CEO.

Just as on Doro’s current markets, senior American citizens have
exactly the same major requirement for products that are tailored for
their needs. The market for these types of products is still
relatively unexplored and Doro is taking a position on it.

Approval from the Federal Communications Commission (the FCC)
concerns three of Doro’s easy mobile phone models and the MemoryPlus
319ph home telephone, which is a telephone for the elderly who have
memory deficiencies.

The newly-approved MemoryPlus 319ph phone was one of the products
that received a prize in the coveted American IDEA(R) design awards
earlier this year.

Most people under the age of 60 probably don’t think much about senior citizen cell phones, but they are a very important product in today’s marketplace. Whereas other cell phones do not address the needs of seniors at all, there are big button cell phones available that are designed specifically for elderly and disabled persons. This is so important because most people use cellular devices to keep in touch, and elderly cell phones make the technology inclusive to all age levels.

Big button cell phones are good for seniors that live alone or spend ample amounts of time by themselves, because they allow the user to make calls without requiring assistance. Many seniors also have health and medical issues, and elderly cell phones make it easier to get emergency assistance when necessary. Senior citizen cell phones allow them to enjoy their independence while giving them a way to get immediate help whenever they need it.

When a person keeps an elderly cell phone on them at all times, they can call 911 if they hurt themselves falling and cannot reach another phone by pushing one simple button. Since many medical conditions require immediate assistance, big button cell phones make it easier than ever to call 911 without having to walk all over the house to get to the phone. Senior citizen cell phones are important because they can potentially help save a life in many different situations, which is definitely something to think about.

Many people prefer pay as you go cell phones over the phones that require a contract, because of the freedom they provide. Practically everyone wants to have a cellular phone these days, and pay as you go cellular phones make it possible to do so without a credit check or a long-term commitment. There are a few things that consumers should consider, though, before they buy pay as you go mobile phones. One of the most important things to consider when shopping for pay as you go cell phones is the network that they offer. Networks all offer different types of coverage, and some might not even work in different parts of the country.

It’s best to find nationally known pay as you go cellular phones, because they are more likely to work everywhere. Networks with better placed masts will provide the most coverage areas for their pay as you go mobile phones, and the signal should at least be good in the local area, if not around the country. Tariffs and fees are also important to consider when choosing pay as you go cellular phones.

Every network charges different tariffs and fees for their pay as you go cell phones, and many of them offer discounts from time to time as promotional tools. Some companies might offer free texts to other people in the same network as a promotion, for example. There are many different offers to choose from in the world of pay as you go mobile phones, so interested consumers have many alternatives. The price is not the only factor, though, so choose wisely.
