[Electronics-talk] Accessible Telephone for older Lady

[Pamela Dominguez]

No, the jitterbug is a phone with big buttons.  You still make the call 
yourself, and you still have to hold the phone, because I don't know if 
there is a speaker phone.  I think the person probably was not necessarily 
looking for a cellphone.  Pam.

Darla,
I don't have any experience with this phone, but it is made specifically for
someone who doesn't want to have to hold the phone much and deal with
dialing. It is called the Gitter Bug. Like I said I don't have any
experience with the phone, but as I understand it the phone calls an
operator which assists in calling the number you want. Hope this helps

My mother needs a phone that does not need to be held when she talks; she
injured her shoulder and after a knee replacement surgery that didn't go
well, she won't have it, so even holding a phone more than five minutes
causes issues; it would be helpful if the numbers were a little larger and
not many other features to confuse her. Any ideas deeply appreciated.
