Big Button telephone

in Phones & TV
Does anyone know if these telephones can be supplied free or very cheap by anyone?
My elderly mother is in a residential care home and has difficulty using ordinary sized phones as she has difficulty seeing (although not officially visually impaired) and also has shaky hands. She is on guaranteed pension credit.
She has successfully used a BT Big button telephone but this now needs replacing.
Can't find info that BT helps out here.
Can anyone help?
Of course I will buy one for her if all else fails!
Thanks.

Under £10 on ebay even if you use Buy It Now - see HERE.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

Hi pmlindyloo,
Does your mother rent the Big button phone from BT or does she own it outright. Can you PM her details and I will see what I can do for you.
Regards,
Jon.
