Why the Doro 334gsm Mobile Phone is Great in Case of an Emergency

By Martin Elmer


At first look the Doro 334gsm will make you wonder whether you are caught up in a time warp. Because this phone resembles either an archaic attempt at mobile telephony or some super-advanced gadget from the very distant future that hides a lot under the veil of simplicity.

But the phone is neither. The HandlePlus 334gsm has been designed for those who need a mobile phone as a backup in life, rather than a necessity. Specifically this is a phone for the elderly, who have limited use for mobile phones.

Doro 334gsm has four memory buttons, marked with alphabets from A-D and arranged in a vertical order. One can program a particular number to each of the keys. There is a blank space on the right side of the buttons, where there is a plastic pocket. You can note on a black page which key have you assigned to who and put the note in the plastic pocket for easy reference.

The call/connect button and disconnect button are large and round, placed above the memory keys. Just above them are the key-lock and SOS buttons.

The SOS button is an interesting addition to the Doro 334gsm and allows one touch call for emergency, as long as the phone is switched on. But perhaps more interesting is the Emergency Call button located on the back of the phone.

Up to five numbers can be programmed for access by this key. To activate an emergency contact sequence, the button has to be pressed for three seconds or tapped twice in succession. This will initiate calls and the sending of preset text messages to those 5 numbers, one by one.

But yes, composing messages and dialing any number other than the ones already saved in the phone is not possible.

Now that you have gone though this article, you know this device is basically a back-up in life rather than a prerequisite or a want.
