Help in getting updated phone and line for elderly...

Hi:
My name is Sue I live in California and have a 90year+ Aunt who lives in greater London. She still has a really old rotary phone with the old fashioned box in the wall (I have pics). I'm visiting her in April and want to arrange for a new easy to use  single handset phone. All it needs is for me to leave messages for her, nothing fancier than that. I also need to get her wall connection upgraded. Anyone got ideas on how i can start arranging for this. I need suggestions for the phone, and information on who I get in touch with and what i ask them to do to upgrade her wiring and wall box. I've not lived in the Uk for 20 years and need some help. Thanks in advance.

Does she pay BT for her line rental and phone?
If so, then you can contact BT from the USA on +44 179 359 6931
They can arrange for the wiring to be upgraded, and should be able to suggest a suitable phone with large buttons, which can be supplied as part of the order.
If she is with another phone provider, then you would have to find a contact number for them.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • HT4009 where is the agree button on I phone 4 to agree to new updated terms and conditions for downloading new apps?  read all info all 54pages but no agree button at end?

    Try first signing out of the iTunes and App Store in Settings>iTunes and App Stores (tap on your apple ID and choose sign out) then sign back in.
    Then do a hard reset, hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you see a white Apple then release.
    Then go ahead and try again, should work.
    I hope this helps!

  • Why can't I get Keynotes Pages and Numbers for free after OS Mavericks 10.9.1 Upgrade?

    I bought my Macbook Air a few days ago with the OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 update software already installed on my laptop. I'm suppose to get Keynotes, Pages, and Numbers for free under purchases in my app store but unfortunately I haven't seen any of those programs come as a purchase in my store. I've downloaded the OS Mavericks 10.9.1 software three times already and restarted my computer to see if they come in the mac store but nothing happened. I've also applied for the Up to Date program and they said they would contact me in 24 hours but it has been three days and I still haven't got a reply from them.

    If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after October 1, 2013, that did not include Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can download them free by following these steps: http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

  • Why am I getting black boxes and lines in Facebook chat area?

    I just installed the latest version of Firefox as well as the latest version of my graphics card drivers, and Adobe Flash Player. When I open Facebook, I get black boxes and lines all over the left side of the screen where my chat contacts are. I am wondering why this is happening and if there is a current fix to it, as it is rather annoying. When I hover my mouse next to or over the black boxes and lines, they move and continue to pop up elsewhere but only on the friends/chat area.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • HT1386 After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

    After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

    At some point in the past, I synched with Gmail.  Looking at my Gmail contacts, I can see that it's missing the same contacts I'm currently missing from the iPhone.  Is it possible that I may have done that sync back in October 2009 (but not since) and then somehow recently over-wrote my contacts content with whatever was there?  Is there some setting I could have tripped to make something like that happen?

  • TS1424 Hi  I had this problem before and you fixed it. I just bought the updated phone and have no mail and it says me itunes purchases are disabled.  Can you help me??????????????????

    Hi  I had this problem before and you helped fix it.  I just bought an updated Iphone and now it says my itunes purchases are disabled.  They also put spelled my name wrong and  I do not have any mail coming thru.  Please help me!!!!

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If your account is disabled (I assume that it what you mean by 'my itunes purchases are disabled') then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    If you aren't receiving the email to your rescue email account then you can contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country via this page and see if they can enable it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    Not sure what you mean by 'they also spelled my name wrong' - where are you seeing it ? Your name should be appearing how you entered it.

  • HT5621 my phone is stuck in the activition part bc one of my friends give me this phone and he for got everything so i need help

    my phone is stuck in the activition part bc one of my friends give this iphone and he for got everything to it so can u plz help me

    Apple has a D.O.A period. If something breaks within 14 days of purchase, it can be swapped for new.
    So if it failed within 2 days of purchase, you should have had it swapped for a new one.
    I would consider going to an Apple store instead, or contacting Apple online.

  • Help!! Auto-Deploy and Check For Updates in an OPMN-managed instance

    I'm trying to use the auto-deploy and check for updates functions in an OAS 10.1.0.3 but I can not make it work.
    I don't Know if this functions are only availables for a standalone OC4J instance.
    Can anyone help me??
    Thanks!!! and sorry for my poor english.

    Auto-Deploy is not really designed for an OPMN managed instance -- in earlier releases, this would not even work correctly since deployments where stored in the DCM subsystem and any subsequent configuration changes made via DCM would overwrite the config and you'd lose the "auto-deployed" application.
    In 10.1.3.x where DCM is no longer in the picture, and the auto-deploy polling is a function of Oc4J itself, it may work. Be aware that this is not something that is tested in OPMN managed environments.
    What configuration changes have you made?
    You need to ensure you have modified server.xml so the attribute check-for-updates="all" and you've added the attribute application-auto-deploy-directory and have it pointing at a directory to watch.

  • HT201441 i got a iphone 4s and the owner show me working i updated it and asking for id but he has moved over seas as in the army help please

    hi need to turn off find my phone on my iphone 4s i got off friend who has moved over seas because of army help please

    I'm afraid no one can help you but the previous owner, who must erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  All you can do is keep trying to contact the friend you gave it to you.

  • I have a new i phone and pay for gps---it will show directions but does not use a voice - how do i get it to use the voice?

    Just got an iphone and pay for gps---how do i get the voice to work--it shows the directions but doesn't say it.

    If you did not buy one that specifically states it does voice directions-there is nothing you can do.
    Check the app settings, check the app website.
