How It Works: Buying For Yourself
saw a 25% uplift in telephone crime taking the figure of fraud offences to 4.5 million.
lost up to £250 to scams in 2022, & losing just £100 can leave ¼ of people in a financial crisis.
& independence in fraud victims makes them 2.5 times more likely to enter care or pass away within the same year.
Having Phonely with CallGuard and a Trusted Person gives you a triple-layered barrier that stops scammers and fraudsters dead in their tracks. This level of protection is especially important when you consider that Ofcom found that scam victims had a 29% chance of being targeted again.
Feel protected without feeling a burden.
All your calls are automatically recorded by Phonely, & before connection, the caller will be warned of this. Any calls you feel weren't quite right can be listened to by you or your Trusted Person at any time.
Should you find yourself on an uncomfortable call, you can request your Trusted Person to join in. Your Trusted Person can also decide to join a conversation if they receive an alert that your call is from an international or withheld number, or if your call has gone on for an unusually long time.
Using CallGuard, your Trusted Person will receive a notification should one of our pre-set keywords be mentioned on a call you've taken; words such as ‘sale,’ ‘bank,’ or ‘money’ (Phonely CallGuard+ only). You can then both listen back to the call to see if you were being targeted in any way.
If you're new to VoIP, then your much loved phone may not be compatible with the technology. If this is the case, to carry on using your handset (and avoid learning how to use a new phone), a simple adapter is all you will need. Just plug your phone into the adapter & the adapter into the router and you're all set.
It seems that with every device upgrade the buttons are getting smaller! You don't have to put up with that with the quick dial big buttoned phone we found. It looks the part with its colour screen, yet is user-friendly with photo assigned quick dials & a HELP button. You even get a pendant to wear around the house and can use it to alert your Trusted Person should you need help.
When you need a new handset but want to walk and talk, then you should consider our cordless phone. Just plug the base into your router and you're good to go. Add your speed-dial contacts for a one button connection, and take advantage of up to 35 hours of talk time before you need to re-charge!
Phonely with CallGuard have so many features that are designed to help you protect yourself from phone crime. But if you don't feel up to managing the account yourself, your Trusted Person(s) can do that for you from your online dashboard or their Trusted Person app.
To make life a little easier, if you have a mobile phone, you can download the Phonely Call App where you can dial out or receive calls from your home phone number. Within the app is a contact book that you can customise with photos, colours and quick-dials. Again, if you don't feel you can tweak this then your Trusted Person can do it without even being in the same room as you!
