About
RAZ Mobility specializes in next-generation assistive mobile technology built for seniors and people with disabilities. Their flagship RAZ Memory Cell Phone strips away complexity entirely—users simply tap and hold a photo to call a loved one, with no menus or extra apps to navigate. Caregivers remotely manage settings, contacts, quiet hours, spam blocking, and battery alerts through the RAZ Care companion app, available on both iPhone and Android, without ever touching the senior's device. For users who are blind or visually impaired, the SmartVision3 Smartphone offers the full power of an Android device controllable via a physical tactile keypad, touchscreen TalkBack gestures, or voice commands. It includes a voice guide, speaking caller ID, magnification tools, color and money identifiers, NFC tag support, and an SOS button. The more accessible MiniVision2+ is a simpler big-button talking phone that handles calls, texts, alarms, FM radio, and weather, all operated by voice commands and large tactile controls. RAZ Mobility products are ideal for families and professional caregivers managing communication needs for elderly relatives, as well as for organizations and government agencies supporting individuals with cognitive or visual impairments. All devices are unlocked and support multiple languages, making them adaptable for diverse communities worldwide.
