| 1196846 | 2011-04-26 07:39:00 | Teletext?? I seem to remember that emailing might be a feature but don't seem to be able to find anything about it on the net? Yes - I was a bit off on that one. What I was probably thinking of was some kind of email service I may have seen with Sky (we don't have Sky so can't check it out - not sure of how it might work). |

| 1196848 | 2011-04-26 23:43:00 | I heard from my sister this morning, and apparently my mum managed to send an email using my sister's small basic phone. So a big screen/big button mobile looks like the answer. They are off to the shops later this week to see what is available. A mobile has a few benefits: It is not a "computer". It fires up much more quickly than a PC. It means she has communication that she can keep about her for emergencies etc. Plus all the other mobile goodies. The next issue is going to be finding her the most appropriate provider and plan. |

| 1196851 | 2011-04-27 08:38:00 | If you Google.UK "Jablotron Elderly Phone" and select sites from UK only, you get 1200 hits! So I guess they are available. | PPp (9511) | ||

So I guess they are available.Amazon UK list quite a few "elderly phones", so I'm sure she will find something, whether it is the Jablotron or something else. | Tony (4941) | ||
