A thunderstorm knocked out my mom's landline VOIP box and one of the phone lines in the house, so new AT&T phones were purchased. Problem is, I am 1,000 miles away and programming these things with her is nearly impossible.


Anyone know of any phones that can be programmed remotely? We had the number of rings set up; now they ring 10 times before the answering machine picks up. I can tell this will be an ongoing battle from here on in.


I need phones I can do ALL of the settings remotely from here as they are needed. Any suggestions or products?

RAZ memory phone is what we are looking into. Total control from your smartphone.

I have a RAZ mobility phone for my Mom that I control completely from my phone but it looks like a smartphone but no internet access.

Time to call local council on aging and agency on aging in your area and find out the best foot forward on this. You aren't, I think, going to be able to handle remote phones, handling them nor her efficacy in handling them.
What she needs now is either understanding she isn't any longer safe at home alone, someone in the area to check on her or your having cameras you can monitor with your phone within her home. This is soon going to be something where she isn't likely safe being home alone.
I am so sorry.
I hope others have better hints for you to delay all that.
