iball Aasaan

The iBall Aasaan is a GSM handset that is specially designed to serve as an user-friendly communication device for the elderly. Despite the simple aesthetics, Aasaan manages to pack several useful features like SOS messaging, extended battery life and essential utility apps.

The 1.65 inch display on the Aasaan features an extra bright orange back-light for easy readability.

The thoughtful addition of a dedicated flashlight button allows for quick operability in the event of an emergency.

The highlight of the iBall Aasaan is the SOS slider on its rear panel. Once activated, the phone emits a loud siren to alert anyone nearby. The handset then automatically sends an emergency SMS to 5 pre-defined mobile numbers. After this, the mobile starts calling the 5 numbers in rapid succession until one of them is answered.

A set of flashing multicolor back-lighting further aids in simplifying operating the phone. There is a 3.5 mm audio out port on the Aasaan for connecting the headset or any generic headphones.
