Am looking for something like this for my father who has arthritis and finds keying numbers awkward.

The Emporia got quite a lot of coverage in the press recently, but it looks a bit expensive for what you get...0 -
Why not simply use speed dial? e.g. press one key instead of keying in a dozen digits.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

That sounded the perfect solution for my Dad, but he just couldn't get the idea of a key that does one thing if you press it, but something different if you press it and hold it down.
He'd eventually seem to understand, but a month or two later he'd be back to me saying it wasn't working properly: "Look - if I press the key twice it just gives me the same digit twice"....0 -

Yes I've been having this problem, too. Shall take a look at this Emporia thing.0 -
The RNIB sell a small range of large key, simple 'phones. Got one for my mum which has 5 pre-programmed numbers of her choice to ring and can receive incoming calls from people who know the number - full stop! It aint cheap but certainly solved my mum's problems and she is very happy with it.

My partner does a lot of inputting number work on her laptop so has a large key pad thing (looks like a big calculator) that she plugs into the laptop. I don't know if you could attach it to a mobile but it is a standard USB connection.0 -
