I just learned about this phone, and it is ideal for the very elderly, and perhaps some not so old.
Basically it is a desk phone that uses "mobile phone" technology. Thus it does not need NBN or a Landline. It uses a mobile phone SIM card to make and receive calls.
There are lots of positive reviews online.
Cost is $219.50.
It is available from: SeniorsPhone.com.au
Great for those who have trouble managing and using a mobile phone.
The phone would be well suited for use in Aged Care facilities, or for when an elderly relative might be located with different family members from time to time.
It would also work in a Hospital, if they allowed it.
Here is another image of the phone.
