you say that but we managed well up until there was more options. There was a time in my 20s that I had to walk to a phone box because the house I was sharing had no phone
Thinking everything is depending on one connection is daft is daft because the land line was the only connection we had for those here most of our lives

Think I got my first mobile and internet around the same time late 90s before then I managed on a comtel phone and before I moved to where I am now I managed on no connection at all imagine that

Set them up a google phone tell them to simply say "Ok Google" "Call/Text Mr k"
The phone will will then do it for them not the remote control or the other remote control just the phone
You can set up an app so when you send them a text it reads it out loud and as it will say the callers name. A lot of accessibility options on mobiles nowadays . A hell of a lot more than on any landline phone I seen
