We appreciate Forbes following up to last week’s TechCrunch article with a highlight that calls GoGoGrandparent a “genius idea”!

GoGoGrandparent (great name) is developing automated technology to let people use their telephones to order popular web-based services… There are millions of people too old, infirmed or disabled to truly take advantage of the mobile apps on a smartphone. So enter a company that plans to fill this market need with an old school approach: mash up the telephone with a mobile app through an automated service so that everyone wins.

So, “the next time your grandma needs an Uber, but she can’t order one because she doesn’t have a smartphone or is unable to use an app, just tell her to phone it in!” We couldn’t agree more — we’ll be waiting for her (and your) call at 1 (855) 464–6872!

GoGoGrandparent helps older adults maintain their independence by accessing on-demand services like Uber & Lyft with a simple phone call (no smartphone required). Rides are available 24/7 in 200+ U.S. cities and usually cost 35% less than a taxi. There’s no charge to register, so get ready for your first ride today on our website or by calling toll-free 1 (855) 464–6872.
