I have a major telephone dilemma. My mother is 86 years old and lost most of
her eyesight. She was having difficulty using her telephone. I located a large

call or the door. She would use the large button phone to make calls.

Lenny,
If you are going to disable the buttons on a phone just to be used as the
door opener phone, don't get a hundred dollar phone. I always have at
least one corded phone in the house in case of a power outage. I think I
got my last one for 8 bucks.

or just glue something big to the 9 button on the old phone so it is very
readily, primarily accessable, put it on the wall near the door?

Heehee, but is it a continuous tone dialer?
I prefer those as I often use pay-by-phone, and other number entry
systems. (even voice mail can flake and not get a burst tone) where a
continuous tone is best.

Hi Lenny,
Several thoughts:
Don't know what state you're in, but here in Calif. we have a
state agency that supplies such phones to folks who are deaf etc.
if you're state has such, might be worth a check with them. I'd
start with any agency that helps the hard of hearing to track
that possibility
