According to a report from the United Nations, 1.6 billion people in the world still lack access to electricity. Therefore they are also unable to call for help by phone in the case of an emergency. Against this backdrop, the SpareOne emergency wireless telephone opens up new possibilities by making easy communication available. Its power source is a standard AA battery that is available around the world; when stored unused, the phone thus provides 15 years of battery life. This emergency wireless telephone merges a well-balanced design vocabulary with intuitive use thanks to its large keys. Its generous proportions make it rest comfortably in the hand for quick and easy use. The colouring in red and white is also well thought-out, making the phone reflect its purpose clearly and unequivocally in the case of an emergency. It offers ten hours of continuous talk time, which allows it to be used over longer periods of time. Equipped with a waterproof pouch as well as an LED torchlight, it is also suitable for use in the dark. The SpareOne features an automatic 911 dial function made possible since in most countries this number does not require a SIM card. With a design that is modelled on and prepared for real-life situations, it turns into an important tool for any type of emergency – simultaneously solving people’s basic need for communication.
