Osteoporosis. Additionally, new research suggests a link to dementia. By the way, I take omeprazole (prlosec). In my opinion, the benefits outweigh the risks. I also take celebrex which is known to sometimes contribute to cardiac issues, but I can't imagine life without it. Back to omeprazole: My 96 year old mother's doc recently took her off of it for fear of dementia. So, there's your answer.

Call the phone company directly. You may need documentation of her dementia and your relationship to get it done. Att his point you need to get guardianship as more issuses will come up going forward.

Do you have ADSL filters installed on all the phone sockets in the house?

You should be able to contact the phone company for forwarding. If your phone were working you could look up how to do it in your phone book. Most of them publish how to use features like this.

I had the same problem when I purchased a 710 for my mother in law. Worked in my house but not hers. The phone does not come with a BT box to phone connection line so that was a clue. Through a process of elimination I discovered that her connection line did not work with the 710, although it was ok with her old phone! I purchased a BT to RJ11 line extension lead from Maplins - all is now ok. I can only assume older connection leads are different than newer ones!
