I wish to program each number with a family member for my grandmother, will she have to push photocall than the number to dial the family member?

You assign a phone number to each picture button. All she will have to do is pick up the receiver and push the picture button for the person she wishes to call. The phone number for the person assigned to the picture button will be dialed for her.

She shouldn't have to. What I did was program each number key and then put a photo of the person who was going to be called over that key. Either way all your grandmother has to do is pick up the receiver and then press the number key for the person she is calling. The number then dials automatically. This phone has worked very well for my mother. No worries. Tom

No. Set button in back of phone to one touch fialing. She will just have to pick up the phone, wait for dialtone and push one family member button.

You only push one button. For example, if you program and label one button William's cell, she woukd only need to lift the receiver and push that button to call you. Also, to answer a call, you only lift the receiver. Very simple.

I bought this phone for my 92 year old grandmother - it is so simple for her to use and has given her back the freedom to pick up the phone to call family and friends. Just take the phone off the hook and push the picture!!! Your grandmother will love it - mine does!!!

there are two modes: regular and photocall. to dial a photocall, you can either put the phone in photocall mode or you push the photocall button and then push the programmed number button. hope this makes sense since it is a little hard to describe.

Yes that is correct. Once you pair your cell to the base, you can use any handset to place a call on your cell by selecting Cell1 instead of Home on the keypad. You do not have a traditional dial tone but rather it is quiet while it dials using your cell. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can program the number with one number access. To place the call you must press the memory button and then the number you programed.

No, it has to have an analog line. The most calls you can join at once is 2.

Yes but not simultaneously (obviously). Say your speaking to someone on a land line call and someone else calls in on the cell line, you can't just "flash" over to the new call, you have to put the first caller on "Hold" (there's a button for that) then answer the cell call. Then if you want to switch back over to the land line call you will have to put the cell call on "Hold" the switch back over to the land line call. It's not difficult, you just have to remember that you can't flash back and forth between callers. You need to remember to use the "Hold" button otherwise you will hang up on one of your callers. Hope this helps.

Yes, it tells you in the directions that you can just program 1 number so when they push it, it does nothing. Or program your number in case there is an emergency.

Yes. All you do is program the number to the button and then tag the button with a picture or name etc. My 87 year old mother loves this phone. She has two hearing aids and dialing long distance is troublesome for her. With this phone all she needs to do is pick up the receiver and push the picture of who she wants to call. This phone has solved many hurdles for my mother. I would highly recommend. The flashing light to indicate a call, the loud options for bell and hearing aid friendly as well as the easy dial options.

Not remotely or through the phone number it calls. Once it receives the signal to call, it will go through the sequence you programmed then end at the "standby" state.

Yes, it calls programmed cell phone numbers. I bought it for my mother who lives at a different state and I programmed the phone with my cell phone #. In some ocassions she pressed the button by mistake and I received the call.

Yes but make sure you call them to unlock and see if you can keep your number. You can program it online but need to call them to unlock it and keep your number. So might as well call them to do it all at once.

yes it does. on the face screen the number 1 2 3 are visible. set your phone number to one of them. Then you push the number you want and it will dial

I don't know for a fact but I assume not. They would be calling a local number. I believe it works the same as a cell phone would.

Only 9 in speed dial (1-9). You can put up to 100 names in the phone book and put them in a desired group (ie: family, friends etc.) Very pleased with the phone so far.

There are numbers on the screen to use when dialing. Or, you can type in a name on the keyboard and it will bring it up the numbers stored in your phone. Then you touch on the name you want to call on the screen. The screen is very sensitive, so you have to be careful you touch the right person.

As J. Wood said, no speed dial per se. It's a matter of entering the number & name of the party into the phonebook, which is relatively easy (including entering the appropriate area code & long-distance toll number if necessary, such as "1"). To dial certain party, go to phonebook and follow J. Wood's advice. Not exactly speedy, but best this phone has to offer from all I can tell.

Yes, you keep the same number, all you have to do is dial *228 when you get it and follow the prompts. Good luck and enjoy! :)

Yes. When one of the buttons is pressed, the reciever will say "number 3" (or whatever number button is pressed. I have an elderly care home with 6 residents, and its perfect!
