Communicate with friends and family

simplicity ENVELOPE^® is a marvellous way to get connected to friends and family anywhere in the world. You can use email and if you want to talk to someone – and even see them – you can use the magic of Skype*.

If you happen to live by yourself, you will never feel alone with a simplicity computer – it's a marvellous communication tool to the outside world.

* Skype requires a webcam and microphone. These are built into the simplicity Laptop and Touchscreen. For the simplicity Desktop, the combined webcam and microphone is an optional extra available for £27.50 from our online shop.

You can order and buy anything on a computer – even do your weekly shop. You can sell things you no longer want. Compare prices. Book your holiday and airline tickets. Check out the weather. Follow a hobby. Answer any query. Join online discussions to have your say... and much much more.
