Well, that was an $89 phone that was returned and replaced with this model. I just found out that her corded phone in the bedroom works the same way so she can not use that one. I have a friend checking out some corded large button phones he just called me and will be testing one later this morning. Funny, I have 6 phones in the home and only two have a continuous tone. She really needs a wireless so she can keep it in her walker. I would be able to place the corded one next to the base of the cordless so she could open the door. As for the suggestion of a plexiglas overlay it will not work on the cordless phone. I did entertain the thought of cementing the unused options so she can't activate. I hate to do that to a $100 phone because of warranty.

She would only use that phone to answer a call or the door. She would use the large button phone to make calls. depending on the old phone, some super glue or epoxy might fix the buttons in place so they couldn't be depressed, other than the number 9. -- Blue skies.
