No, that doesn't make sense either. In the meantime, we have two such telephones in use with our parents, who can use the telephone mainly for emergencies. In such a case, older people would be completely overwhelmed if they also had to enter numbers or were distracted by the number keys.
For us, this is not a phone for making calls anywhere, but only for emergencies. Doro also offers other telephones with number keys, we had already used one of these, but the aforementioned overload occurred.
