Everything will be the same, just connected to a different socket even if it's the base unit of a cordless landline system that's plugged in.He wouldn’t be able to understand why it couldn’t remain the same.

Oh dear, this thread is littered with misunderstanding. The coverage of the cellular telephone network is, I am afraid, completely irrelevant. Nobody is suggesting using the mobile networks to replace analogue landlines.It sounds as if the carers may have more problems that the person with dementia. My husband hasn't used either phone for months - not even to answer it.
At the moment we are on holiday near a village in Lleyn Peninsula. My smart phone doesn't work for phone calls, and just occasionally for texts. We have to go out to get any connectivity. They'll have to make every part of the UK accessible before this can be rolled out.
Then as I said, the carers will have more problem than the cared for - I have no understanding of any of this - it's all gobbledegoop to me.Oh dear, this thread is littered with misunderstanding.

There are various designs of special telephones available. My dad has hearing loss and needed a loud phone that didn't require him to press any buttons when he answers it, he couldn't remember which button to press. I found one that could be set to default to amplified volume, and as a bonus had 8 preset buttons for making calls. It has been a big help.I worry that my PWD will not be able to use any type of phone as his dementia progresses. He is already struggling. He keeps dialling wrong numbers but is adamant that he isn’t.
