I've searched for the answer to this with little success.

I have an elderly relative who has very little dexterity. She can just about manage to hold an old-fashioned telephone, but a small mobile defeats her, and she's about to go into a nursing home which doesn't provide a BT phone socket in every room. Is there such a thing as a mobile phone but built into an old-style larger, chunkier, desktop-type unit?

The alternative, I suppose, is a mobile with a loudspeaker facility, so she wouldn't need to pick it up at all, but even then something larger than a standard mobile would be handy: more stable and less easy to knock off a table.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

why not buy a celluar gateway.

do a search for them, loads to choose from.

plug your ordinary phone into it, it then routes all calls via GSM.

this will solve your problems

Geomuss, thanks for that; I'd never heard of cellular gateways. I'll look into them.
