What is the purpose of the speakerphone in the Lifeline Communicator?
When a subscriber activates Lifeline Basic, it immediately dials the Lifeline Response Center and Lifeline staff speak with the subscriber over the built-in speakerphone inside the communicator. The speakerphone enables Lifeline staff to speak with the subscriber even if the subscriber cannot get to the telephone. Lifeline can then determine what type of assistance the subscriber needs.
