Mobile Phones from Eldertech

Eldertech offers a specialized range of 4G-capable mobile phones designed specifically for seniors, focusing on simplicity, accessibility, and high-speed network reliability across New Zealand. These devices use 4G VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology to ensure clear call quality and continued connectivity as older 2G and 3G networks are phased out.

4G Mobile Phone Options
The 4G range at Eldertech NZ includes various styles to suit different dexterity and vision needs:

Olitech EasyMate 2: A classic, bar-style phone that combines 4G connectivity with big buttons, an emergency SOS key with GPS locating, and amplified volume for hearing aid compatibility.

Easyfone T6: Designed for those with memory loss or dementia, this 4G phone uses large picture buttons for direct calling without needing a phonebook. Note: It does not support texting and currently does not connect to the 2degrees network.

Olitech EasyTel 4G: A "mobile home phone" that looks like a traditional desktop corded phone but uses a 4G SIM card instead of a landline. It is ideal for rest homes or areas without broadband.

General Senior-Friendly Features

Across the 4G mobile range, these devices typically include:
High-Volume Audio: Amplified earpieces and ringer volumes, often compatible with hearing aids.
Emergency Safety: Dedicated SOS buttons that can alert multiple family members or emergency services.
Ease of Charging: Most models include a charging cradle, removing the need for fiddly cables.
Network Compatibility: Most units are tested for use on Spark, Skinny, and One NZ networks, though specific model compatibility (like for 2degrees) should be verified per product.
