The 5.8 GHz Uniden CEZAI998 is praised as a niche product: a cordless phone that's specially designed for users who have impaired hearing or vision. It comes with corded and cordless handsets that have blinking red lights when a call is incoming. Ringer and earpiece volume are adjustable, and large backlit buttons are easier to see than buttons on most modern phones. There are also audible and visual caller-ID features, as well as audible and visual message indicators for the answering machine. A few owner reviews say that the button for the automatic 911 dialer ought to be larger, while others say it's too easy to hit by mistake. If you don't need an answering machine, but still want an easy-to-use phone with large buttons and a backlit keypad, consider the GE 27906GE1 (*est. $80).
