i don't see what's trivial about cordless doorbells for a non DIYer.
I presume that the chiming part has to be affixed to the wall and if you don't have a drill and masonry bit what do you do with it? (I'm guessing that sticking on with double sided tape or blutack isn't durable enough)

You should try talking someone through it on the phone.

You plug the "bell" into a 13A socket and stick the push on the frame. It takes longer to take it out of the box than to install.

Nope! Either freestanding with batteries or plugged into socket.
Bell push is supplied with D/S tape, but I do things properly & use screws :-)

The boiler chappie talked me through fixing the boiler on the phone one year. We were snowed in and he couldn't get to us.

Most of the ones I see are for the hard of hearing and the bell bit works from batteries and is clipped to the belt. Some even vibrate. Brian

I read the other day that some of these bell pushes have a simple release for the battery, a pp3 in the case of the one I was reading about, and some people are actually sneaking in and taking them out. Times must be tough if folk neeed to nick batteries of unknown vintage from bell pushes is all I can say Brian

In my case it was after-sales service. I am very pleased that I no longer have to deal with members of the public as customers.

Which shows that it is the abilities of the person needing help that is critical.

Good point.
Thanks for reminding me that I've previously had to taxi a support person halfway across London to plug in a keyboard extension cable for someone.

I've heard of someone flown to Singapore to look at a problem after a phone call which went roughly "You're sure it's plugged in?" "You're really sure it's plugged in?" "You're really absolutely certain it's plugged in?".
Turned out it was plugged in, to a four-way extension lead which was also plugged in - to itself.
