DNA’s Seniorilinja senior support line is expanding to also assist other special groups
Good customer understanding and digital inclusion are DNA’s core goals, and considering the need for unhurried service and special assistance in customer service is one step towards these goals.
“Our survey on digital inclusion last spring revealed that as many as a tenth of all Finns over the age of 15 have some physical limitation that affects the use of digital devices and services. This is a huge number of people whose service can be significantly improved by being able to identify and respond to their need for special help”, says Riikka Luostarinen, Vice President responsible for consumer business customer service at DNA.
DNA’s customer service personnel are trained to attend to customers who use communication aids, such as a speech synthesiser. In addition, a video connection or chat can be agreed with DNA’s customer service, for example, when it is difficult for the customer to hear speech.
“We want to offer everyone good service, and it is important that we can help more customers to get more benefits of digital services”, Luostarinen says.
DNA opened the Seniorilinja senior support line more than 10 years ago after discovering that some older people are at risk of being left on the sidelines of digitalisation due to their lack of digital competence. Attention should be paid also to the prevalence of visual, hearing and other possible impairments.
DNA Kiireetön linja - non-hurried service line, tel. +358 (0)44 144 244, is available Mon–Fri from 9 am to 4 pm. DNA’s non-urgent line is aimed at all DNA customers who need non-urgent customer service and guidance due to, for example, old age or visual, hearing or other impairment. Calling and queueing to the customer service is subject to standard domestic call rates. Calling from abroad is subject to the international price list. Calls from DNA landline subscriptions are free of charge.

Tutkimus: Moni pitää älylaitteiden omaa tietoturvaa riittävänä, vaikka se ei tarjoakaan riittävää suojaa2.7.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Suomalaiset kokevat tietoturvan entistä tärkeämmäksi ja kaikkia koskettavaksi asiaksi. Samalla yhä useampi jättää älylaitteensa suojaamatta tietoturvauhilta ja kokee tietoturvaratkaisut kalliiksi, selviää DNA:n teettämästä Digitaalinen elämä -kyselytutkimuksesta. Noin kolmasosa (35 %) suomalaisista luottaa siihen, että laitteiden oma tietoturva on riittävä. Asiantuntija pitää tätä huolestuttavana, sillä älylaitteiden tietoturva ei itsessään ole tarpeeksi kattava.
Survey: Many consider their smart devices' security sufficient, even though it does not provide adequate protection2.7.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
Finns view cybersecurity as a topic that is increasingly important and universal. However, more individuals leave their smart devices unprotected against security threats, feeling that security solutions are too expensive, according to DNA’s Digital Life 2025 survey. Approximately one-third (35%) of Finns trust that their devices' built-in security is sufficient. This is concerning, as the security of smart devices alone is not comprehensive enough.

Apple vei kärkipaikan sekä DNA:n kuluttaja- että yritysasiakkaiden myydyimpien puhelinten listalla iPhone 16 Pro 5G -mallillaan. Applen iPhone 13 5G säilytti puolestaan ensimmäisen sijan käytettyjen puhelinten listalla. Kesäkuun myydyimpien älykellojen kärkisijat menivät lasten kellopuhelimille. Myydyimpien tuotteiden kärkeen kiilasi Xplora XGO2 -kellopuhelin, ja listan toiselle sijalle nousi ZTE K1 Pro -kellopuhelin. Toisen kvartaalin myydyimmän tietokoneen paikan otti Applen MacBook Air 13" M2.
Puhelimen katoamiseen kannattaa varautua jo ennakolta – tee ainakin nämä toimet uudelle puhelimelle27.6.2025 11:54:39 EEST | Tiedote
Välillä sattuu ja tapahtuu – puhelimille siis. Jos puhelin katoaa tai varastetaan, uuden laitteen saa tilalle, mutta sen sisältämien tietojen päätyminen vääriin käsiin voi aiheuttaa ongelmia. Onneksi tilanteeseen voi varautua ennakolta, jolloin vahingot jäävät pienemmiksi.
