My mother has fallen and now has a critical need for an emergency response cell phone. The standard emergency phone that plugs into a land line will not work. She travels worldwide and I would like to get her a prepaid phone that nobody has the number to that can be used in emergency situations only. The phone needs to have worldwide coverage if possible. I would like to get the phone for under $1000, but price of phone and service is not a factor. Prepaid would be great as it will only be used in emergency. Please respond, she gets out of the hospital in appoximately 2-3 week.
Thanks,
John

It features TTS (Text To Speech) functionality, which converts a text message into voice messages for the receiver. When in "speak mode", it will read incoming text messages with it's own voice. It extends this functionality to the phone's menu, phonebook, and the unanswered calls list.
The PH-K2500V can play MP3's and lets you control the music from buttons on the outside of the phone, without opening the device. It also comes with a 1.3Mpix camera and an OCR (Optical Character Reader) function which can recognize text from JPEG files. It supports the recent business card scanning craze, going on these days. The information from the business card can then be saved as text.
Another feature of the phone is a 34,000 word (with definitions) electronic dictionary, with memo and highlight tools.
The phone is available in blue, red, or silver.
