Need phone for elderly parents

I have elderly parents who have fallen, and have the need for cell phones. Parkinson's is in play. I need a BASIC phone for each of them. Would like something VERY easy to use, big buttons, easy to read screen, and if possible voice dialing. Any suggestions?

If there is nothing at verizon you might try jitterbug. I don't know much about it except someone I met online has one an likes it. She is elderly and likes the big buttons. Mary

How to reduce unwanted callers for elderly parents

I am interested in Do Not Disturb for my parents' landline. They have many charity solicitors (we placed their number on donotcall.gov, which only works with for-profit telemarketers, I believe) who call and convince them to make pledges, even occasionally give credit card info over the phone. They are not at the point of taking credit cards away, but are softies for callers, it seems.
Can Do Not Disturb still be ordered from Verizon? This seems like it would be a good option for them. If not, does anyone have other suggestions? Thanks!

I don't know if Verizon has anything worthwhile to stop "Unavailable" or "Out of Area" callers, or caller id's that only show a state name. My mother was having the same problem, and we finally got a her a Panasonic KX-TG9341S phone system - it has a base station with 4 cordless phones and has both a "Call Block" and a "Night Mode" feature.
Even though Verizon's service will not block an "Unavailable" number, even though it has a phone number associated with it, the Call Block feature will hold either 25 or 50 numbers and when those numbers call, the system immediately answers with a busy tone. And the night mode will not ring any of the phones during a time period that you can set. Verizon is the only company I've ever had phone service with that shows only state names, or Unavailable or Out of Area even though it displays the number - I assume Verizon does a lot of business with the telemarketers. I know that the "Anonymous Call Block" only works with caller ids of "Private".
So, if you can't get it done with Verizon, there are a lot of new phone systems you can buy that will duplicate those feature lacking from Verizon. The Panasonic model I mention is about 2 or 2 1/2 years old by now, they probably have a newer one with the same features under a different model number.

I need phone # for Al Tenneson's boss - and the boss of the twitter account team

Both of those listed in the subject have failed ot get me back to the service level I had after signing up (with much hassle) for TV to add to my Internet service. I contacted the twitter account aghast at the pricing, and they said they'd get me a lower deal. I asked if the channels would be the same, and they said yes. Then they later point out that they told me a different package...but they still verified my "will it all be the same?" inquiry. I am not a Comcast employee, and it is not my job to check the packages they list when I point blank asked if I would have the same service. They've blown me off for a solid day now without any response. Al Tenneson, meanwhile, has blown me off for a week at a time, then acted like he'd done a bunch of work reading the twitter conversation...but completely ignored the fact that the confirmed for me that everything would be the same. Comcast doesn't do business honestly. They put nice people in a position to provide bad service. Their pricing policies are designed to confuse. They offere different packages through different service entry points (website, phone, twitter, Executive Customer Relations, Tom K's team, and stores, probably among others), and try and upsell you to services you don't want or need by actually charging you *more* for less service. And then they wonder why people dislike them so very much. In any case, I need to speak with Al Tenneson's boss, and the manager in charge of the twitter team.

And I will reply to this every single day until such time as this concern is addressed with more than a canned apology. I need my channels back, and I need to not have to explain the entire situation over again for someone. You can get my account information, but it is up to Comcast to do the research adn understand that this is far beynd a simple "what can I do for you now?" circumstance. This is a need to speak with management regarding a pattern of poor customer service. And by management I mean nobody who works in customer service for a living.

Ridiculous delay for connection of phone for elder...

My widowed mother (in her seventies) is moving into a new build flat on Thursday of this week and despite the fact that the telephone wiring is in place within the building and others in the building are already connected, BT are saying that they cannot connect her until the 16th March 2011. What can I do to escalate this and get some action ? I would appreciate any tips.

IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset. I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature. Looking for ideas to make this simple

You can't do anything with that problem.
Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4. Unable to preregister when I ordered the new 6 in September. Now can not contact VZW recycle program regarding.

When I ordered my phone on Sept. 13th in a Verizon store, I had to ask the salesman how I went about getting the $200 rebate. He said shipping materials would come with the new phones. When I received the confirmation e-mail of my order, it contained a link for the rebate. Fortunately I clicked on the link, filled out the form online, and received the packing materials to send my phone in shortly after. My phones came in on Oct. 14th and I sent 3 of them back. So far I have received a gift card for $200 for 2 of the phones; the other is showing not received. I don't know what your situation is, but I think the promotion ended Oct. 15th. If I had listened to the salesman I think I would be out of luck as well. I hope I am wrong for your sake.

3. Use iMessage while messagging with him.
When you open chat with him in sms menu there writes iMessage. and messages shows color of blue.

I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Help?

I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Any help?

First you need to install Mac OS 10.6. To do this you have to buy the OS disk. (This is a whole different OS, not an update of 10.5.) Order it here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You may be able to install an even newer OS, but you have to get 10.6 first.
Please look at Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info... and check under Hardware Overview for the Model Identifier of your Macbook. That will tell us whaat is the highest OS you can install.

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.

How do I setup an iTouch as a skype phone or facetime phone for children that live in another state with another parent?

Pretty simple, I'm a divorcee and would like to setup an iPod Touch as a facetime or Skype Phone for my children so I can keep in touch with them as they live with their mother in a different state. How do I do this intalls the apps needed and not have it tied to my account as for backup puposes they will need to do this at their mother's house on her computer. Can I gift an iTouch with Apps installed and setup? And no the Ex-wife is no good on setting this up so I doubt it would get setup properly if I just send her the iTouch and gift the apps to her account. I would just like to have it ready to go once they recieve the iTouch and not get erased or reset if they sync it to her computer.

Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
Open AirPort Utility.
Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.
