Even if you're all alone, this phone's got your back.
The Doro 8020X (https://www.doro.se/doro-8020x.html) — available in Europe and the UK — is your typical waterproof smartphone, except it's a bit more robust and potentially life-saving.

On the phone's edge is a red button—also k**wn as an assistance button—that sends out an alarm in the form of a text message with the user's GPS location. This goes out to up to five emergency contact numbers pre-programmed into the phone.
