Anyway, she is not the kind of person who carries the thing in her pocket everywhere. She's more the type who puts it on the charger on the kitchen counter at home and leaves it there most of the time, or leaves it in her purse all day.

The problem is this: She has a shop in her basement where she runs a home business and spends a lot of time. When she is down there with equipment running, or really even when she is just in other parts of the house away from her cell phone, she can't hear it ring. With her landline, she had several phones in the house and they all rang at the same time, but obviously that's not the case with the Galaxy. Is there some kind of remote speaker on the market that would ring in other rooms of the house when she gets a call? I know the next issue is going to be, "I can't get to it fast enough when I hear it ring in another room," but right now she is most upset about finding a pile of messages and never knowing that the phone had been ringing at all.

Really, my answer would just be to put the phone in my pocket and problem solved, but...that's not going to happen here. She is NOT a stupid woman...she is a remarkably sharp lady, but she is also decidedly NOT a technology native and right now she's getting comfortable with the device as a PHONE...so that's how she treats it. Perfectly sensible, actually.

So...multiple ringers...any thoughts?

(Yes, I've googled. If it exists, it has a different name, because "remote ringer" gets me "find my phone" kind of stuff.)

Call her all the freakin time.

Guarandamnteed she keeps that thing in the front of her pants in perpetuity.

I'm a problem solver... you are very welcome.

Ohhh, they make a bedshaker attachment.

Giggity.

Lord I apologize, the Iinbreated can't think for there's selves

Giggity, giggity, gooooooooooooo

When my cell rings it rings on all phones and can be answered on all phones. I just disconnected the land line and the cell still rings through.

When she's home with her cell it would act like a land line. When away with the phone the home system would do nothing. The answering machine would be worthless as well.

She may also need to leave her cell on the main level with the base (not super close but within maybe 50 feet or so.

Unrelated. I'd advise to not leave the thing charging all the time. Batteries have gotten much better and maybe I'm all wet and old school but I think it's best to have a battery cycle.

I do have a landline in the cool thing is that uses my cell phones ringing when it's a call on my cell phone and my landline's ring when it's a call on my landline. I usually just leave my cell phone in the back bedroom because we have cordless phones all over the house.

Wise advice. Li-Ion batteries, while better than they used to be, still do have a lifespan. Only so many charge cycles before they start to degrade. This is a big problem with notebook computers since people often leave the batteries in all the time, even when on AC power, so when they take their computer which has never really been used on battery but charged / cycled to death, and try to use it on battery, they discover that the 6 hour battery only lasts about 1 hour.

interesting.

found a bunch on fleeeeeebayy for half the $. 🤔

She should connect the cell phone to a dog shock collar base unit and wear the collar around the house...
