And every emporia phone features large, easy-to-use buttons, an extra loud speakerphone, and a simple interface to help customers quickly locate what they need when they need it.
The company announced its new emporiaCLICK, a simple and stylish flip phone with a sleek clamshell design, a piano lacquer finish and a stainless steel clasp. Designed with a built-in camera, emporiaCLICK's side key easily takes one-click pictures on the go. A clear and easy-to-navigate menu allows users to effortlessly find their favorite photos and its MMS function allows users to easily send photos to friends and family. In addition to easy picture taking and sharing, emporiaCLICK makes communicating easy with ringtones that can be adjusted to very high volumes, high-powered vibration motors and a flashing LED light whenever a call is coming in.
The company also introduced emporiaSOLIDplus, a rugged and dependable phone built for anyone who enjoys working or playing in the great outdoors. The device can be easily tossed into a backpack, pocket or on lanyard to stay connected when hiking, bicycling, or gardening. The durable device will not be damaged if splashed or dropped as it meets strict military specifications, so it can withstand dust, shock, vibration, rain, humidity, altitude and extreme temperatures, making it easy to travel anywhere with.
Gregory Foley, President and CEO of emporia Telecom, USA and a veteran of the US mobile industry explained the vision behind the company's expansion: "We're excited to bring our easy-to-use mobile devices to multiple generations of families in the US, Canada and Latin America. We believe there are millions of consumers who simply don't want complicated smartphones, distracting apps or expensive data plans, so we focus on high-quality products that offer simplified communication for those who need it most."
