Can you program numbers into this phone so my 87 yr old mom can press one number to call me? Can you disengage the lock feature on the phone?

Yes to both questions. I am including a link that specifies answers from Alcatel so you can read for yourself. I'm 99% certain you can disengage the lock, but because my husband puts his in a belt holster, and it easily dials on its own, we have it on. Please visit http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/faq/ot-a382g.html and you should find more answers. Good luck!

Yes. Numbers 2 through 9, and the * and # keys can all be programmed for one touch dialing! My mom still likes her phone. She's legally blind and can call anyone of us (her kids) and some friends easily.

This is an old phone but the screen does lock and the touch screen does not function. The screen lock is automatic and cannot be selected on or off.

This device does not require any programming, however it requires you to press a button everytime you want to block a number. I would recommend the T-Lock with Whitelist and Blacklist device as an alternative, which may be a better fix what what you are looking for. Learn more here: http://www.amazon.com/Incoming-Call-Blocker-Blacklist-Whitelist/dp/B00856RURM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411685779&sr=8-1&keywords=call+blocker+whitelist. This device will require a one-time setup up for adding your area code, but then after that it will work as an OFF/ON switch.

With the Digitone you can block any call manually, but there is auto blocking too that my wife has not explained to me so far. All said, I'm tickled with ours and I do recommend it to my best friends.

go to your tool/settings, then keyguard settings, then select "press once". i don't think you can select no lock option, just "press once" or "press twice". the lock can be a good thing, otherwise you would be calling people by accident/pocket dialing. hope this helps?

No. You only can stop the dialing through the panel pressing the password and the lock button.

Yes, but only numbers you've programmed in your dialing list. We eliminated our home phone and have our old home number in the cell phone so when we're away from home, we miss nothing. I would never go back to the old way.

The feature is called "One Touch Locking" and to disabled it you would follow these instructions: [Master Pin] # 3 # (Advanced Lock Settings) 3 # (One Touch Locking) 3 # (Disable feature. 1# would enable the feature.)

@Ken "I have found it will not allow me to dial up an automated voice message system" - this problem applied to flip phones when they were left shut. Newer phones do not have this problem. If you are still using a flip phone, leave it open!

I am going to say no. I did not purchase the other phones that came with this one. I purchase two princess style phones and I had to program both of them separately. I hope this helps you.

I have never faced this problem myself. I'm using this phone for almost two years, and the only reason I can think off is that you may be accidentally using the hold call key.

You can do it independently on each phone. It requires a selection from a sub-sub(-sub??) menu so if your grandma is a technologically aware 55 year old, sure, but if she is a 90-year-old "Menu? What is that, dear?", she will have problems.

I dont think there is a setting for that. In my case, it does not "overide" the caller ID of any of my cordless handsets and I am using sets from two, different manufacturers.

Not one button; but, the number does not need to be entered manually. As soon as I identify the number as one I want to block, I reject the call. It then appears as the first number in my list of missed calls. I select "menu" scroll to "Call Block" and select it, then confirm "Yes". When I've been away from the phone I routinely check for messages and missed calls. From the listed of missed calls, I select the numbers I want to block, select "menu", scroll to "call block", and confirm "yes".

You have to make up your own code. pick any 4 digits and hold the lock while inputting. then let go. you will have to remember the code.

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.
