Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you buy the Doro 7050 in the US?
It is sold prepaid through Tracfone in the US, which is the main thing to know before shopping — you are choosing the carrier along with the phone. Doro is a long-established senior-phone brand internationally, but its US distribution is narrower than Lively's.
What does the assistance button on the back do?
It alerts contacts you set in advance. It is not a monitored medical alert service — there is no response centre behind it — so treat it as a fast way to reach family rather than a substitute for a medical alert system or for calling 911.
Can it run apps?
No. It is a flip phone with a physical keypad, a 2.8 inch internal display and 4G LTE — calls, texts and basic features only. That simplicity is the reason to choose it, and the reason it will frustrate someone who wants video calls or a browser.
