In addition to the easy-to-use features of a Doro mobile phone, you also have access to valuable safety features such as our built-in Doro Secure Button. With one press of the button, up to five contacts will be sent a personalised SMS, including your location*, and called in sequence. Allowing people to help quickly and easily at the touch of a button. Peace of mind for everyone.
Our standard Doro Secure Button feature works as follows:
- Select up to five contacts saved in your phonebook, who can help you when you press the Doro Secure Button. If help is needed, simply press and hold the button on the back of the phone for at least 3 seconds (or three short, quick presses depending on your choice when you set up the button) to start the assistance procedure.
- A text message (SMS) is sent to all programmed contacts to let them know that you need help. You can change the default message in the assistance button menu settings. Depending on the model of your mobile phone, a link with the devices last known GPS position may be included as well.
- The phone will then call the first contact. If he/she does not answer, it will hang up and then automatically call the second, repeating this sequence using all of the programmed numbers until someone answers the call. When someone answers the call, the Doro phone is automatically connected to the call in loudspeaker mode - allowing the Doro user to easily talk to their loved one no matter the situation.
- If no one answers the call during the first round of calls, the call loop will start again. This cycle will continue for a maximum of 3 complete loops, i.e. 15 calls maximum.
- The operation is a completely free service, but does require access to the mobile network, and have credit available if it is a Pay As You Go SIM card, through your SIM card provider.
- Pressed the Doro Secure Button by accident? It happens and isn’t a problem. At the beginning of every button activation, you have five seconds to cancel the SMS and call sequence before it starts.
- For more details on programming the different settings, you can read and download all of our mobile phones manuals from the website. (Search your devices product name and download from our support page)
For even more security, it is possible to pair your phone with our wrist worn Doro 3500 Bluetooth alarm trigger (check compatibility on individual product pages). You can trigger the Doro Secure Button in exactly the same way as pressing the button on the back of the mobile phone.
