Mobile Phone That Looks Like A Landline Phone?

Does anyone know of such a thing? My oldies can't cope with mobile phones but I would love to ditch the landline. Not even the 'big button' mobiles intended for seniors - they jab the wrong buttons, turn it off accidentally and can't get a proper grip.

I need to be confident that they can dial 999 if they need to, we won't be in lockdown forever and there will be times they are left alone. I need a mobile that looks and behaves like a landline.

If I wanted to be sure someone could always dial 999 whenever needed I wouldn't rely on any mobile phone, they are often flat unless you remember to regularly have it on charge..

Prudie, I'd keep it plugged in to the mains :)

I do like the look of that one, TTT, especially in red

barry, the one I highlight above looks just like an old BT phone, bit dear though.

Yes, I remember those phones, it took an age to dial some numbers, especially if your finger slipped out of the hole on the last digit and you had to start again :)
