Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a desk telephone (not cordless) that has a SEND button, similar to the one on a cell phone to transmit the telephone number, and with large # buttons.
My mother isn't fast enough reading numbers and dialing them before she gets an oral error message.
Been all over the internet and apologize for asking UHH for a non-photo related item. Thank you.

Do you mean a phone that will let her dial the number at her leisure and then hit Send to do the actual dialing? I've never seen one like that.
How about one of the many phones that let you store phone numbers? Push #3 and order a pizza, for example. Push #2 and dial a neighbor.

Try a VOIP (voice over IP) phone. I have the Polycom 501 but I am sure many other models will work. I can punch in the numbers and they come up on the screen. Then press dial to get a dial tone and send the numbers.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
She's 93 so I'm trying to keep things as low-tech for her as I can.

Thanks, Jerry.

Well, if that doesn't exist, it should. Let us know if you find one. If this were the 1920's, she would tell the operator what number she wanted. What about a phone that stores numbers and lets you dial by pushing one button?
