A dial-out buffer memory enables users who are slow in dialling to avoid being timed-out. Generally the user taps in a number and when ready presses a send key, as used on many mobile phones. Many elderly people need plenty of time to read a number, press the keys and check that they have entered the correct number.
It is recommended that the buffer memory includes a system to remind the user if a process has not been completed.
