and it asumes you have purchased a PC, a screenreader and have received
appropriate training or mastered using the web yourself. This has
considerable cost implications.

Of course you can always go online to find numbers but that is not always
convenient

in that case, we should receive all telephone directories in an
accessible
way that should cost us nothing to read. This would prove expensive and
altimately problematic. A braille version of the phone directory would
be
inappropriate and a tape or CD version would take a long time to read and
be
impossible to search.
O2 are in fact starting to introduce a number of questionable schemes
which
affect blind and sighted people it seems. for example, 0845 numbers are
no
longer counted as part of the free minutes allowance which is a problem
though I know that geographic numbers can often be found as alternatives.
We have to stick to our contracts that we are bound into and morally if
not
legally, companies like O2 should have to stick to theirs.

Why should service provider treat blind people differently from
sighted
people. Is that not against law DDA!
If Sighted pay then yhes we should pay to get same service.
There is a good case to argue that we can not read the hardcopy
directory, but that really only applies for local numbers!So if the
number
wanted was for someone say 200 miles away, why should we have free
service,
and tighted don't.?
