A Mobile Solution That Works For You
RETAIL PRICE VS WHOLESALE PRICE
When you buy from a telco store you’re buying tech support and backup.
Same with the Outdoor Phone Store experience. Our prices ensure there’s parts in stock for your phone if ever needed, and your phone is repaired promptly, because downtime at $50 an hour quickly adds up, right?
We source phones from the highest quality factories. Sure, it costs a little more, but their reliability leads the pack. That cheap bargain picked up at near wholesale won’t look so ‘bargainy’ if it glitches after a few weeks and the seller can’t help sort it.
Deal with the experts.

4G VNZ48 Urban Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm IP67 waterproof with fall detection
$299.00Read moreWorried about elderly parents living alone or in care? The VNZ48 Emergency Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm is half the price of comparable alarms on the NZ market and it provides instant peace of mind (REQUIRES SIM CARD AND MOBILE PLAN) Worn like a watch, the VNZ48 is waterproof so doesn’t need to be taken off. If your loved one suffers a fall and doesn’t respond to the alarm countdown, the VNZ48 will auto-dial three numbers of your choosing until someone responds. It will give you location details and open up an HD voice channel so you can talk directly to your loved one. Additionally, you can set the alarm to alert you if your loved one wanders off (ideal for dementia care). A manual SOS button also allows your parent to summon help if they’re still conscious and have not fallen, while a microphone button provides instant HD voice chat without them needing to ring you. A smartphone app also allows you to remotely monitor health vitals like heart rate and body temperature. The VNZ48 works in NZ cities with cellphone coverage. No need to pay monthly monitoring fees!
