If the phone is everything its maker says it is, this
phone is perfect for someone too young or too old
to operate a smartphone. Even those with regular
phones might want to spend the $50 and keep it in
your glove box as a spare.
As a side note, as of the time that I am writing this,
it appears the SpareOne is so popular, their website
is having issues. So, if you can’t get it to load, just
check back later.

she’s having an emergency, the last thing you want
grandma to try and have to use is a complicated
smartphone with a dead battery.
The maker of a new phone called SpareOne says its
device is easy-to-use and will keep its charge for 15
years, even if grandma throws it in the glove box
of her car.
If it needs a re-charge, just change out the single
AA battery inside.

Top 10 SpareOne FAQ inserted. When in use, talk time can last up to 10
hours.*
What is SpareOne?
GSM Frequencies: Where does the
SpareOne work?
The SpareOne comes in two different GSM radio fre-
quencies to be used in most of the countries around
the world: 850/1900 MHZ & 900/1800 MHZ. SpareOne
phones sold in North America and some countries
in South America are 850/1900 MHZ as networks in
the region follow that frequency standard. SpareOne
phones sold elsewhere (i.e: Europe) are 900/1800
MHZ and will not operate in 850/1900 MHZ regions,
and vice versa.

What is a SIM Card? Why do I need one?
GSM Phones need a SIM Card to operate. A SIM card
or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory
http://www.batteryfast.co.uk/battery-technology/ces-2012-new-emergency-cell-phone-with-a-battery-life-of-15-years/
chip used in GSM cellular telephones. The SIM card
makes it easy to switch from phone to phone by
simply sliding the SIM out of the old phone and
into the new one. The SIM holds personal identity
information, cell phone number and other data.
Can I make an emergency call if there’s no
SIM Card?
Yes indeed. Even if there’s no SIM card, the SpareOne
can make an emergency call. In that case, just dial
the emergency number of your country (i.e: 911,
112 or 999).
NOTE: An emergency number may be factory pro-
grammed on the Center key of the SpareOne. Hold
the button down for 2 seconds to call Emergency
services.
Does the SpareOne work in the USA in
CDMA networks like Verizon or Sprint ?
No. Carriers like Verizon or Sprint in the United
States operate using CDMA networks which are not
compatible with the SpareOne. You should purchase
a GSM SIM card from carriers such as T-mobile ,
AT&T or other alternative GSM carriers.
