Amplicom PowerTel M6000: “the LOUDEST phone you’ll ever own”

It may lack the high tech features that send gadge-freaks into overdrive, but one thing’s for sure: the PowerTel M6000 goes one louder than any phone you’ve had before.

This one goes to 11

Billed as the, “loudest, clearest & easiest phone you’ll ever own,” the M6000 lets you listen to calls at more than 30dB’s, with an extra-loud Motorhead-esque ring tone blasting out up to up to 100db of noise.

Pardon?

Designed for people working in noisy environments and those with hearing difficulties, the M6000 sports big buttons and a loud hands-free speaker, and is the only amplified phone with the highest Hearing Aid Compatibility rating M4/T4 in the UK.

There’s also text messaging, a 500-name phone book, Bluetooth, emergency numbers and an interesting “Man Down” fall detector which can trigger an emergency call in hands-free operation.

The handset is provided SIM free for £119.99 from www.silverphone.co.uk, and will be available at the end of this month.
