Add-ons

At cost · no markup

We sell the operating system for an Android phone they already own. Or buy a phone from us, set up and locked to Friendo before it arrives. Everything below is optional and priced at what it costs us. Two are ready. The rest are what we would make next, and they say so.

  • Installation visit

    $85Free

    Someone comes to the house, puts it by the chair, and stays until a call goes through.

    Nobody has to unbox it, plug it in or set anything up, so the first day does not wait on somebody being free to drive over.

    For anyone with no family close enough to help.

  • Spare charger

    $15

    A second charger, so there is one by the chair and one by the bed.

    It never runs flat in the room they are actually in.

    For anyone who forgets to plug things in.

  • Not made yet

    Second stand

    $30

    A charging stand for a second room, so it can live by the bed as well as by the chair.

    It has an obvious home in more than one room, so it is never lost and never flat.

    For houses where the chair and the bed are far apart.

  • Not stocked yet

    Bone-conduction headset

    $130

    A headset that sits on the cheekbone, so they hear it with the hearing aids out.

    Hearing loss stops deciding whether a call can happen at all.

    For those with hearing loss, and aids that are rarely in.

  • Not made yet

    Sling

    $18

    A strap, so it is on them rather than near them.

    It comes to the garden, the shop and the front door, so being away from the chair is not being out of reach.

    For those who are up and about, or unsteady on their feet.

  • Not stocked yet

    Vibrating band

    $100

    A wristband that buzzes when it rings, from anywhere in the house.

    A call that cannot be heard can still be felt.

    For those who will not hear it ring from another room.
