Hi,
Can someone examine a picture of the other phone to determine if the
unnecessary buttons could be in some way covered.
Are they recessed, is there a rim, for even a piece ov plexi to go across.
It won't damage the buttons, it won't depress them, they won't get
accidently activated, and Mom
Interesting addendum to Ray's post, thanks.

Very good article.
The one thing they failed
Can you hook up her other, small button, phone as an extention and disable
all but the number 9 button? 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
Just so you know folks, handyman 204 is the file Don sent even though he named
it handyman 104 in error. So just rename it for archival purposes if you wish.

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
Lenny,
If you are going to disable the buttons on a phone just to be used as the
door opener phone, don't get a hundred dollar phone. I always have at
least one corded phone in the house in case of a power outage. I think I
got my last one for 8 bucks.

Clean the points, and be careful not to break the insulation around the wire.

or just glue something big to the 9 button on the old phone so it is very
readily, primarily accessable, put it on the wall near the door?

Heehee, but is it a continuous tone dialer?
I prefer those as I often use pay-by-phone, and other number entry
systems. (even voice mail can flake and not get a burst tone) where a
continuous tone is best.

Dan, No I would not disable all the buttons just the ones that would get her
in trouble. Like the cid, menu, pulse/tone, and a lot more for the answering
machine. I would only leave the talk, number pad memory and make it a fairly
basic phone.

How about another cheap $8 phone and a double phone jack adapter and mark
quitelarge the number 9 only.

I don't know how practical this is, but I've used a tape recording of the nine

How about a splitter so she could have the regular type phone for use when she
needs to press the 9 key. You could put something on the 9 key, like high
marks or velcro tab so she could easily identify it and then for calling people
she would have her big button phone.

Hi Lenny,
Several thoughts:
Don't know what state you're in, but here in Calif. we have a
state agency that supplies such phones to folks who are deaf etc.
if you're state has such, might be worth a check with them. I'd
start with any agency that helps the hard of hearing to track
that
Sorry for the changed subject line on this thought of another
idea
I have several very cheap phones all of which will do long tones.
How about getting a cheapie with wall mount, then using a small
block of plastic etc. and tape fasten the 9 button down all the
time.
Mount the wall phone in a
