If said relative had taken the time to stay up to date or someone in the family had taken time to teach them they wouldn't be at a disadvantage using antiquated technology that is essentially hindering their capabilities to remain in contact with what I assume is their loved ones.

Consider why someone might need such a device, and don't be so grossly offensive.

Yeah. I edited that, 'cos you might not know.

Similar. It has all the keys overlaid with a piece of plastic hot-glued on, except the three "picture buttons".

You get specialised mobiles with 4-5 programmable large oversized buttons that can be custom written or drawn on and a green call and red hang up button and even an emergency call button.

I’m not sure what condition medical or otherwise would enable someone to lift a handset receiver and push buttons on a box but not be able to hold or use a device the same size with the buttons on it instead.

I apologise if you feel that I am being insensitive.

I'll guess the relative is probably elderly and not particularly techie?
and the fixed set corresponds best to what they're used to and what they can relate to.
