I am looking for a big, easy, large-print, no-batteries-needed, corded land-line phone for my elderly parents, who likely will not be living on their own too much longer. They sometimes forget to charge their cellphone, or lose the charger, or forget where the phone is. Also, they cannot seem to figure out voicemail--just talk and text (In their defense, I detest voice mail, right up there with fax!)
They have had a landline for years, but a very crappy old phone that barely works--tried to talk them into canceling, but what the hell, it's only money!!
I am going to get them a landline phone in case of emergency--no cordless handset to lose! nothing complicated! Just a large, easy phone with big push buttons and maybe a few pre-sets. Any suggestions? Where should I buy such an item (online)?
(Maybe the Smithsonian has a few examples hanging round!)
Thanks.
