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 ! -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply.
