Senior couple in distress
Smartphone surprise after “Krone” report
Surprise for Mathilde and Leo Sattler from Leonding in Upper Austria, who were unable to scan the QR code for train timetables with their old cell phone. Entrepreneur Eveline Pupeter was so moved by the elderly couple's story that she popped in to see them on Tuesday and presented them with a gift.
"I'm speechless," said 81-year-old Leo Sattler from Leonding in amazement when Eveline Pupeter, head of Emporia, the Linz-based cell phone specialist for senior citizens, rang his doorbell on Tuesday and presented him with a gift. "We read about your problems with the train timetables in the 'Krone' and said: it can't go on like this!" says the businesswoman with a wink.
Her souvenir: an "Emporia Smart 7 lite", the very latest generation of cell phone for senior citizens. "You and your wife can use it to scan the QR code for train timetables in future."
As reported, ÖBB employees had explained to the couple that the brochure with train timetables would no longer be printed for reasons of economy and that a QR code would have to be scanned instead - which was impossible with the previous senior cell phone.
Support with the application
Leo (81) and Mathilde Sattler (74) were delighted with Pupeter's gift. The entrepreneur also offered the former bank employee and the retired teacher that one of her employees would also train them on the new smartphone: "Although it is basically very user-friendly and also has an emergency call button which, when activated, automatically activates the hands-free system and camera so that the person called immediately receives a picture of the situation."
The two senior citizens can now hardly wait to use it to plan their next train journey: "We would love to visit our grandson in Innsbruck again."
