Release Body: This week sees the much anticipated launch of the
new Binatone ‘Speakeasy’ mobile phone
by specialist mobile supplier Communic8 Ltd (www.silverphone.co.uk).
Incredibly simple to use the new mobile will be the UK’s
lowest priced big button mobile phone retailing at an introductory
price of just £49.99.
Folkestone
based Communic8 Ltd have been leading the market
in mobile phones for the older generation and sight impaired users
for some time now, however big button mobiles such as the popular
‘Emporia’ have all been high-end products
costing upwards of £150. The new Speakeasy
mobile has been launched as a direct response to a need for a
low-cost version and is the very first big button mobile phone
available in the UK at a truly budget price.
In
a world in which mobile phones have become increasingly smaller,
and stacked with complex features and wizardry, Binatone’s
Speakeasy offers a no-nonsense, back-to-basics alternative
that is sure to be welcomed by many who feel somewhat technically
challenged by the many different mobile phones available today.
The
arrival of the Speakeasy opens a new chapter
for Binatone who have become a familiar and trusted name in home
electronics, and for many decades have sold many millions of products
in over 55 countries worldwide.
Neil
Scanlon, the UK Sales and Development Manager for Binatone says
“This innovation for the Big Button Mobile GSM brings
a specialist product that the market has been missing for some
time - at a very accessible launch SRP of £49.99 Binatone
are delighted to have partnered with Communic8 to offer supply
to specialist retail and mail order markets."
Although
easy to use the Speakeasy boasts some impressive
features including an extra large display, speakerphone, loud
ringer and strong vibration alerts. The model is Digital Hearing
Aid Compatible and also fitted with a useful power torch function.
Whilst being designed to incorporate big buttons the phone still
retains a slim and comfortable size. Other features include caller
ID, direct SMS key, and a unique notepad at the back of the handset.
Importantly the phone is SIM free and is not locked to any network.
The
price breakthrough of the Binatone Speakeasy
looks set to see a dramatic increase in the number of elderly
people now being able to afford a large button mobile phone. Many
will discover for the first time the convenience and added security
that a mobile phone provides. “For the first time, Elderly
people have access to a fantastic, easy to use mobile phone at
an affordable price and we are delighted that Binatone
have decided to work with us to launch the Speakeasy
mobile phone” commented Stewart Smith Managing Director
of Communic8 Ltd.
The
new Binatone Speakeasy is available for consumers
through Communic8 and can be ordered directly from the company
via their website at www.silverphone.co.uk
or by calling the sales office on 08701 600 600. Retailers wishing

At
a time when money is tight for everyone the Binatone Speakeasy
is sure to make a truly thoughtful Christmas gift for an elderly
relative at a price that won’t break the bank.
