So don't do that.
Not doing it is no loss of functionality, and no increase of simplicity
compared to a landline.

Perhaps erilar has a phone like the one on my downstairs phone table,
with a dozen programmable number memories and a paper label on which
names can be written. (That one's also an answering machine, but I
turned off that function years ago when I got an all-digital
answerer.) That was certainly much easier to program than my cell
phone. (Although the cell is getting quite elderly now; I shall
probably need to replace it before its ninth birthday. Sadly, nothing
made today is likely to last as long as that StarTAC.)
