Telephone ringer & flasher advice needed

Dilly

Hi
My mother is rather hard of hearing plus she falls asleep of an evening. She lives alone
I am looking for a device which she can have in the lounge, with her of an evening which will ring and flash when a call is being received. Her telephone junction box is in the hall and it is impractical to have a lead from the phone as
a- she might trip over it
b- the dog might eat it
c- she has concrete floors

So I was thinking along the lines of a battery operated thing, simular to a door bell
Can anyone advise me of a product to suit

Thanks very much for your help

That sort of thing is simply not available.

I assume you mean that the socket that the phone is plugged into is in the hall? And the phone is in the hall?

I would suggest having an extension socket put into the lounge, then there is a lot of possibilities for her.

And there are quite a few phones with lights on these days, such as BT Decor phones.

Why not just get a wireless phone set, with the base station and one handset in the hall and a second handset and charger in the lounge?

No wires needed - just a spare mains socket in the lounge.

My BT Graphite extension handsets all have a display that lights up when there is an incoming call, and can be set with a really annoyingly loud ringtone if needed.

Yes the phone is in the hall, she also has one in the kitchen and bedroom.

We have suggested that she take the phone into the lounge each evening, but she forgets. She is 82 and they aren't very flexible as parents get older

So we are exploring other possibilities. We don't really want to upset the place too much and getting another extension for the lounge seems a big upheaval for her. You know moving furniture and taking up carpet

So Than ks and Thanks to the other posters as well

These actually do exist and in a number of forms. The most common tend to plug into the telephone socket with a trailing lead. You can get them from somewhere like maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/call-alert-light-and-ringer-512882 (£24.99) and use it alongside a wireless phone jack adapter. (Amazon.co.uk)

Something like that does exist although I am not sure it will ring but it certainly flashes if the telephone rings or if the door bell rings, its called a Bellman care system but for a much cheaper thing you can use the Amplicall which is battery powered but this needs to be plugged into the telephone socket which of course you don't want
Or there is a wrist worn device the Powertel but it has to be used in conjunction with one of their phones, but you wear it and it vibrates when there is a call, it also has an SOS button on it.
