Description
The award-winning RAZ Memory Cell Phone is an easy-to-use, groundbreaking cell phone for people with memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s, stroke, low vision, Parkinson’s or seniors who prefer an intuitive experience. The phone consists of one primary screen and one screen only. It allows seniors to stay connected with friends and family through regular phone calls, video calls and text messages, while allowing the caregiver to manage the phone from afar.
The single screen includes three elements:
- Photos and names of up to fifty contacts with six large icons per page;
- An optional 911 button or the alternative RAZ Emergency Service subscription;
- Optional information such as date & time, day of the week, battery power and signal strength.
The RAZ Memory Cell Phone does not exit the home screen. This prevents users from getting confused in the normal smartphone environment. Even the power button can be disabled.
The display, which is a large 6.5 inches, does not time out. It can remain always-on or go dark after 2 minutes and wake up with movement. At your option, incoming calls can be restricted to those coming from Contacts, eliminating undesirable predatory calls.
With a relentless focus on being extremely intuitive and easy to use, the RAZ Memory Cell Phone requires only a simple tap to place and answer calls. The caregiver also has the option to adapt the call activation method to the option that best suits their senior’s needs and ability.
Remote Manage provides caregivers the unprecedented ability to remotely control ALL aspects of their senior’s cell phone through a simple app. Create and edit contacts, manage settings, access the phone information and much more from your own smartphone (iPhone or Android).
Key features:
Phone calls: Place and answer calls with a simple tap allowing the senior to stay connected with friends and family. The caregiver can manage the contacts with the RAZ Care app.
Block unwanted incoming calls: Avoid scams and robocalls with this essential feature that allows incoming calls only from contacts, enhancing your senior’s safety.
Video calls: Stay connected with your senior effortlessly. Only approved contacts can initiate video calls, not the senior.
Text messaging: A simplified, customizable experience that allows seniors to send and receive text messages according to their needs and abilities, featuring super-large letters, big buttons, speech-to-text, and quick answer options. Caregivers can also control who the senior can text and who can text them. Currently, this feature does not support group messaging or the ability to share photos.
Press & hold buttons: The caregiver can choose between different press & hold methods to prevent unwanted calls. And we have added an extra layer of safety with the call confirmation screen.
Settings are disabled for the user: ALL the settings including the volume rocker are remotely managed by the caregiver through the RAZ Care app. Caregivers can even disable the power button to avoid the phone to be accidentally turned off. This means peace of mind for the caregiver and safety for the senior.
Reminders: From your own smartphone, you can send your senior reminders about medicines, appointments or important events and see if they were acknowledged. Reminder colors and font size can be customized through the RAZ Care app.
Quiet hours: Prevent your senior with dementia from calling specified contacts during certain hours of the day or in the middle of the night.
Loneliness alerts: Reduce loneliness! Receive an alert when the user does not participate in the desired number of calls.
Manage battery charging: The RAZ Memory Cell Phone provides four key charging features. Seniors can get reminders to charge the phone and will receive visual & audible confirmation when the phone is connected to the charger. Caregivers can track the remaining battery power and charging status in the RAZ Care app and receive text alerts when the battery is low.
Location tracking & Status check: With the RAZ Care app, caregivers can get peace of mind by checking the real-time status of their senior’s phone, as well as its location.
Calling emergency services: Control how users can call emergency services. Three options are available, including an option for a 911 emergency button that is always within reach for your senior’s safety.
RAZ Emergency Service: With the RAZ Emergency Service, every emergency call is routed to a private dispatch agent who assesses the situation and contacts 911 if necessary.
Calls can go automatically to Speaker mode: With this option, seniors can hear calls clearly. The RAZ Memory Cell Phone’s speaker’s loudness can reach up to 125.6dB!
Calls can be answered automatically: With the Auto-answer option, incoming calls from contacts will be answered automatically and the call will be on speaker.
Low Vision and Hand Tremor mode: An even simpler interface with super-larger icons, fewer contacts per page and bigger buttons. You can select the color scheme and customize the contact icons for better contrast. You can also add a status tile, showing a large time and battery level. The ideal mode for those with low vision, Parkinson’s, hand tremor and others.
Wireless charging: The wireless charging set (sold separately) allows the user to easily charge the phone by placing it on the wireless charging stand or pad without the hassle of plugging in the charging cable.
Free updates: We are always looking to improve our products to make seniors’ and caregivers’ lives easier. When we launch new updates to the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, our customers get 100% free access to them.
Enhance your senior’s safety with our solutions
RAZ Emergency Service: With this subscription-based service, emergency calls are connected to a highly trained agent to help the senior through their problem. The agent will have access to the senior’s location and other helpful information provided by the caregiver. Text messages will be sent to emergency contacts, providing the opportunity to interact directly with the agent to assess the nature of the emergency and provide input. The RAZ Emergency Service helps avoid up to 95% of unnecessary emergency calls.
RAZ Alert: Respond more quickly to your senior’s emergencies. When your senior calls 911, receive a text message alerting you to the call. Up to 3 people can receive the 911 text message alert. There’s no additional cost for this feature.
Auto Answer: If your senior is not answering the phone and you believe that they might be experiencing an emergency, you can activate the Auto Answer feature in the RAZ Care app. When you call, the RAZ Memory Cell Phone will answer automatically after 4 or 5 rings and go to speakerphone. This is a great safety feature if your senior has fallen, for example, and can’t get to the phone! There’s no additional cost for this feature.

My 98 YO mom is still quite sharp mentally, but anything techy, even a Jitterbug phone, she really struggles to understand. But with the RAZ phone, after a few fits and starts, she is calling us kids and answering our calls. A true game changer! Currently, she is in a skilled nursing facility and the RAZ has allowed us kids to communicate with her. I expect she will use the RAZ over her landline when she returns home.

Easiest phone I ever set up. This was for my sister who is having cognitive issues. Now she can be in touch with people without a complicated system. Just push the pic of who she wants to call. So easy!

The RAZ Mobility phone was exactly what my 90 year old mom with dementia needed. The ease of usage gave my mom back a little of her freedom and independence. She enjoyed talking with friends easily. I appreciated how easy it was to set up. I really appreciated being able to control who she talked to, when she could call them and being able to message and call her easily. This phone system really was the best out there. We tried a couple other ones, but RAZ was the easiest and gave us the control everyone needed. Their support team were always helpful and kind. I liked all the tutorial videos on how to set up the system beforehand. Thank you RAZ folks for producing such a quality phone and oh so helpful.

This phone is amazing. I am 90 years old with limited vision due to macular degeneration. This is the first cell phone that I have ever been able to actually see the screen, even even with my diminished vision. I also havre very poor hearing and found a ringtone that I can hear and the speaker is great. I can hear everything. Best cell phone ever. I didn’t think at my age I would be able to find anything I could actually use, but I was wrong. This is so perfect for me and I love it!

I am writing to share how pleased I am with the RAZ phone I purchased for my mother. As the caregiver managing her device, it has significantly relieved the pressure I previously felt.
Before using this phone, my mother frequently received scam calls, and I was concerned she might share personal information. She would also accidentally delete her contacts and struggled to retrieve voice or text messages. Thanks to your product, I no longer have these concerns. It has truly been one less thing for both of us to stress about.

Absolutely a lifesaver. Super easy for my sister to use and doesn’t lock her out, which was what happened to her last phone. I love how easy it was to set up and no more predatory calls.
