Her phone is a Doro, though not the one you mention. As it is I have my 
number set by a long press of the '0' button. Even that goes wrong, 
because sometimes other random accidental button pushes prevent that 
from working, until you 'clear' the screen with the Red 'Hang Up' button 
first.
Then other times she doesn't press the 0 button for long enough, and 
ends up with a series of 0s buffered in, again the red button to clear 
is required.
All of this is in non emergency situations.

Things you and I consider foolproof, are really not quite so !

She copes perfectly with a 25 year old BT landline phone
with 8 memories, probably because she's been using it for 25 years !
